Using adhesives when installing dissimilar materials like wood to concrete or metal to tile just got a lot quicker. Traditional construction adhesives and epoxies could take hours or even days to cure before use. This results in lost productivity for installers and greater inconvenience for building owners and tenants. New FSTR-30 Thin-Gel Adhesive bonds dissimilar materials in under 30 minutes.
FSTR-30 Thin-Gel Adhesive from FSTR Technology is a two-part polyurethane that tacks in seconds and cures in minutes. FSTR-30 applies like a liquid, but becomes a tacky gel in seconds when expelled from the self-mixing cartridge. Air or moisture is not required for curing, so you can bond impervious surfaces in just minutes. VOC and solvent free, you can even bond to delicate surfaces like polystyrene. FSTR-30 will not swell or shrink when curing so bonded materials stay in place.
The fast curing material is supplied in self-mixing cartridges that are easy to use and eliminate wasted adhesive. Users can choose from small 50ml cartridges up to standard size twin 150ml cartridges. Bonds most materials like concrete, stone, marble, brick, tile, wood, metal, vinyl, glass, polystyrene, and more.
Polyurethane adhesive is tough. FSTR-30 will remain flexible for life, so it will not become brittle and crack apart like epoxies. FSTR-30 will accommodate thermal shock, heavy traffic and harsh conditions.
Renewable materials account for 40 percent of the formulation. FSTR Technology believes high-performance and being responsible to the environment can be achieved without compromise.
