What is Pattex PL200 Construction Adhesive?
Pattex PL200 is a multi-purpose, polymer-based construction adhesive designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. It is transparent and offers high initial tack, bonding up to 50 kg/m².
What substrates can Pattex PL200 bond?
This adhesive bonds a variety of substrates, including brick, ceramic, concrete, hardboard, plasterboard, plywood, stone, MDF, wood, metal, UPVC, glass, and certain plastics. It is not suitable for polyethene, polypropylene, or some other materials.
Can Pattex PL200 be used on wet surfaces?
Yes, Pattex PL200 can be applied on wet surfaces, provided the adhesive can dry. It is not recommended for permanent water immersion.
What is the curing time for Pattex PL200?
The adhesive typically requires about 24 hours to fully cure, with initial bonding occurring within approximately 15 minutes at room temperature.
What is the temperature resistance of Pattex PL200?
Pattex PL200 can withstand temperatures from -30°C to +80°C and endure short-term exposure up to 100°C.
How should Pattex PL200 be applied?
To apply Pattex PL200, cut the tip of the cartridge, attach a nozzle, apply the adhesive to one surface, press the surfaces together while wet, and support heavy items for at least 24 hours.
What is the shelf life of Pattex PL200?
The shelf life of Pattex PL200 is about 15 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place, away from frost and direct sunlight.
Is Pattex PL200 paintable?
Yes, Pattex PL200 is paintable once it has cured.
What is WD-40?
WD-40 is a versatile lubricant, penetrant, and moisture displacer designed to protect surfaces from corrosion and remove adhesives. It's commonly used on moving parts such as hinges, wheels, and chains.
What are the main components of WD-40?
The primary ingredients in WD-40 include aliphatic hydrocarbons (45-50%), petroleum-based oils, and various additives that contribute to its effectiveness as a lubricant and corrosion inhibitor.
What are the safety hazards associated with WD-40?
WD-40 is classified as an extremely flammable aerosol and poses aspiration toxicity risks if ingested. It may cause eye irritation and should be used in well-ventilated areas, away from heat and ignition sources.
What is the operating temperature range for WD-40?
WD-40 operates effectively within a temperature range of -60°F to 300°F (-50°C to 150°C), making it suitable for various applications, from outdoor tools to machinery in extreme conditions.
How does WD-40 protect against corrosion?
WD-40 protects against corrosion by creating a barrier that prevents moisture from contacting metal surfaces. It has a corrosion protection effectiveness of 0-20% in 72 hours, depending on the application.
Can WD-40 be used on all surfaces?
While WD-40 is compatible with most surfaces, it can cause certain types of rubber to swell or soften wax coatings. It is recommended to test on a small area first, especially on plastics and rubbers, to ensure compatibility.
What are the recommended storage conditions for WD-40?
WD-40 should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 50°C (122°F) to prevent pressure build-up in the aerosol can.
What should I do if WD-40 is ingested?
If WD-40 is ingested, do not induce vomiting. Instead, seek immediate medical attention or contact a poison control center, as the product poses serious health risks if aspirated into the lungs.
