Product name: KATER MAX BOND FAST GRIP
Other names: Construction adhesive

2. DESCRIPRION, BENEFITS & APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Description: KATER max bond fast grip construction adhesive is formulated with strong initial grab which makes it ideal for installing wall paneling, flooring, stiring boards and architraves. KATER max bond fast grip construction adhesive has no fumes and can be cleaned up with water.

Recommended use: Bonding: Particleboard, plywood, fibre cement and strio flooring to joists; Fibre cement sheet, plasterboard and wall paneling to wooden and metal studs; Skirting boards, architraves and trims to walls; Replacing loose tiles on walls(not recommended for floor tiles); Suitable for sixing polystyrene wall panels; Timber and other porous construction materials.

Substrates: Wood; Particleboard; MDF; Concrete; Cement sheet; Gypsum board; Cement render; Polyurethane foam; Expanded polystyrene; Plywood

Benefits:
Versatile - multiple uses
Fast initial grab- minimizes slippage on vertical surfaces.
Easy clean up- use water
Flows easily at all temperatures
High bond strength and heat resistance when cured(service temperature up to 90C)
High bond strength- exceeds AS2329, mastic adhesives for fixing wallboards.
No fumes -water based
Strong adhesion to metal- when other surface is porous.
Bridges gaps up to 9 mm - effective when used on uneven surfaces
One part - no mixing
Paintable with water- based surface coatings
Reduces squeaking associated with nail ride in floors
Complies with AS 2329- 1980
Can be repositioned for up to 60 minutes after application
Reduces number of mechanical fasteners required to install floors or walls
Natural wood colou- blends in.

Application:
Cut tip off plastic nipple. Screw on nozzle and load into cartridge gun. Cut nozzle to desired size. With gentle trigger pressure, dispense adhesives as a bead onto studs or joists. Do not apply the adhesive as a blob as this will result in longer drying times.
Apply adhesive to one surface. Fit surfaces together within 20 minutes. In heavy duty applications, use with permanent mechanical fasteners. For wall panels or light objects, support may be required, but can be removed when the adhesive has set (approximately 24 hours).

Flooring and wall panels(to joists and studs):
Apply a 5mm diameter bead to each joist batten or stud in a zigzag pattern. Where sheets will butt together, apply a 5mm diameter bead along both edges of that joist, batten or stud so that each sheet edge will be on a glue line.
Floors:
Fit sheet within 20 minutes of application of KATER max bond fast grip to the joist. If supplied, the flooring manufacturer's instructions should be followed. In the absence of supplied instructions H. B. KATER suggest the following: Stagger end-joins and leave 1.5mm gaps between them to allow for expansion. Nail oe screw sheets to joists at 150mm centres around the perimeter and 300mm centres through the middle. Use a putty knife to remove any squeeze-out between the sheets.
Walls:
Fit panel within 20 minutes of application of KATER max bond fast grip construction adhesive to the batten or stud. Support the panel where required until the adhesive has set.

Bonding -all overlay flooring, parquetry or engineered timber must be fully bonded to a plywood base, that is a full prowel out of adhesive over entire area. Spot gluing or bead application is not recommended.
Application- Apply KATER max bond fast grip and trowel out with a 2.5mm, 3mm, or 4mm V notched trowel depending on surface roughness of floor.
Only apply as much KATER ma bond fast grip as can be covered in 15 minutes by flooring. Secret nail individual planks and place sand bags or similar weights on whole area.

Polystyrene foam panels:
When installin polystyrene foam wall panels using KATER max bond fast grip construction adhesive the adhesive must be applied as parallel beads each no more than 5mm in diameter.
