Coverage Rate

  • 250 SQFT per 5 gallons finished surface.
  • Coverage rates are average and may vary depending on substrates and job conditions. Porous surfaces and substrates may require more bonding adhesive than typical coverage rates.

Mixing Instructions

  • Stir thoroughly until all pigments are dispersed and the adhesive is a uniform color.
  • A minimum of 5 minutes stirring is recommended.
  • Solvent-based bonding adhesive that allows for quick drying.
  • Roller applied with medium nap roller.
  • Provides excellent adhesion to a number of standard substrates.
  1. After thorough stirring (minimum 5 minutes), apply TPO Bonding Adhesive to substrate and membrane using a 9″ medium nap roller. Application shall be continuous and uniform, avoiding globs or puddles. An open time of 5 to 50 minutes, based on drying conditions, is recommended before assembly. TPO Bonding Adhesive must be allowed to dry until it does not string or stick to a dry finger touch. Any coated area which has been exposed to rain should be allowed to dry and then recoated. Do not apply adhesive to splice areas to be hot-air welded.
  2. Roll the membrane onto the adhesive-coated substrate while avoiding wrinkles. Immediately brush down the bonded portion of the sheet with a soft-bristle push broom or a 150 lb. segmented roller to achieve maximum contact.

  • TPO Bonding Adhesive is EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE – it contains solvents that are dangerous fire and explosion hazards when exposed to heat, flame or sparks.
    Do not smoke while applying. Do not use in a confined or unventilated area. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along ground or may be moved by ventilation and ignited by pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electrical motors, static discharge or other ignition sources at locations distant from material handling point and flashback.
    All containers should be grounded when material is transferred from one container to another. A red caution label is required when shipping.
    A fire extinguisher should be available. In case of fire, use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
    Do not use a solid stream of water because it can scatter and spread the fire.
  • Avoid breathing vapors. Keep container closed when not in use. Use with adequate ventilation. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, perform artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician immediately.
    During application, efforts must be made to prevent fumes from entering the building via air ventilation ducts.
    Do not place open containers or mix adhesive near fresh air intake units. When possible, shut down or seal off the closest units.
  • If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Call a physician immediately.
  • Avoid contact with eyes. Safety glasses or goggles are recommended.
    If splashed in eyes, immediately flush eyes with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes.
    Contact a physician immediately.
  • Avoid contact with skin. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. In case of contact with skin, thoroughly wash affected area with soap and water.
    Contact physician if irritation persists.
    Note: Permeation-resistant gloves (that meet ANSI/ISEA 105-2005) are recommended to be worn when using this product to protect hands from irritating ingredients.
  • Do not thin TPO Bonding Adhesive. Thinning will affect performance. Excessively thick or gelled material should be discarded.
  • Jobsite storage in excess of 90°F (32°C) may affect product shelf life.
    Should the TPO Bonding Adhesive be stored at temperatures lower than 60°F (15°C), restore to room temperature prior to use.
  • Opened containers of TPO Bonding Adhesive should be used within 48 hours.
    Adhesives will begin to thicken after this point, making it difficult, and eventually impossible, to control applied thickness.
    In hot weather, do not leave sealed containers on roof for prolonged periods of time.
    In cold weather, keep material at room temperature until ready to use.
    Stir adhesive occasionally while using.
  • Adhesive must be allowed to dry thoroughly.
    If membrane is mated with the substrate prior to the adhesive being dry, blistering will occur and not subside over time.
  • KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
