For composite panels, sandwich panels and larger-area metal-to-foam lamination, FORTIS AD5113 is specifically designed for these types of manufacturing applications.
Its low viscosity and ability to be sprayed, rolled or brushed make AD5113 suitable for applying a controlled adhesive film across larger surfaces.
Adhesive selection should always consider the substrates, surface preparation, application method, open time, clamp or press time and final service conditions.
Products should not be considered directly interchangeable without testing. Fortis recommends substrate compatibility testing and production trials before changing an existing adhesive system.
