The strongest adhesive is not automatically the best choice. Selection depends on the materials, joint design, production process and conditions the finished bond must withstand. Understand the Materials Porous materials such as …
Choosing the right industrial adhesive depends on the substrates being bonded, required bond strength, flexibility, working time, application method and service environment. Polyurethane (PU), epoxy, polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and contact adhesives use …
Contact adhesive forms an immediate bond when two prepared, adhesive-coated surfaces are pressed together. Coverage, flash-off and pressure are more important than adhesive thickness. 1. Select the Contact Adhesive AD215 suits brush-applied …
Rejection, commonly known, as Silicon Effect is a pullback of a coating applied to a substrate. Rejection of coatings on floor surfaces is typically caused by contaminants. The most common contaminants are: …
De-lamination of coatings can occur between the coating system and the substrate. Causes of de-lamination The possible causes for de-lamination are: Contamination Inadequate surface preparation Incompatibility 1. Contamination Contamination can be on …
FORTIS PA75 and Polymarine 3026 are solvent-based polyurethane adhesives designed for bonding flexible PVC and compatible flexible materials used in inflatable, marine and industrial applications. Feature FORTIS PA75 Polymarine 3026 Adhesive Technology …
Adhesive strength depends on the surface beneath it. Dust, oil, moisture, oxidation, release agents and weak coatings can prevent wetting or cause the bond to separate from the material. Preparation by Material …

When protecting brass, copper and other decorative metals from tarnishing and oxidation, ArmaLac™ and Incralac are two clear protective coating options available in Australia.Both are acrylic-based protective coatings, but there are differences …
Slip resistance is created by adding texture. Select aggregate for water, oil, traffic and cleaning conditions. More texture improves grip but makes cleaning harder. TextureAggregateIndicative size LightPolymer additiveFine stir-in grade MediumGraded silica0.3–0.6 …
Open time, working time, clamp time and cure time describe different stages of adhesive application. Confusing them can cause poor wetting, weak joints or unnecessary production delays. What the Terms Mean TermMeaning …
Concrete sealer can reduce surface grip, particularly when applied to smooth concrete or when the surface is wet. However, how slippery a sealed surface becomes depends on the concrete texture, slope, type …
The use of Fortis coatings across the varied climates of Australia does provide some challenges. To achieve the best coating, it is always best to follow the product's application guidelines. Temperature, humidity, …
Concrete sealer can turn white, milky or cloudy when moisture becomes trapped within or beneath the coating, or when the sealer does not form a clear film correctly. The problem is often …
Correct surface preparation is essential before applying a concrete sealer. The concrete must be sound, clean, sufficiently porous and within the moisture requirements of the selected sealer. Poor preparation can cause uneven …
Water-based and solvent-based acrylic sealers both form a protective film over concrete, but they differ in odour, appearance, application and clean-up. Choosing the right system depends on the substrate, location and finish …
Concrete acid stains react with calcium compounds in cured concrete to create permanent, variegated colour. The result depends on the concrete, so exact uniformity cannot be guaranteed. Prepare and Test Concrete must …
Correct maintenance preserves polished concrete without leaving residue or unnecessarily wearing the surface. First identify whether the floor is densified, protected with a penetrating treatment or finished with a clear coating. Routine …
Concrete sealers can be broadly divided into penetrating and film-forming systems. Both can protect concrete, but they work differently and produce different appearances. The best choice depends on the substrate, exposure and …
The best concrete driveway sealer depends on the type of concrete, its condition and the appearance you want to achieve. For most decorative driveways, the first decision is whether to use a …
What Causes Hot Tyre Staining (Paw Printing)? Tyres are made of a mixture of synthetic and natural rubbers, fillers and additives. The major fillers are carbon black and silica. Carbon black not …
Water-based and high-solids epoxy coatings both protect concrete floors but differ in odour, film build, application and service. “Water-based” describes the carrier, while “high-solids” describes how much coating remains after curing. A …
