Cold Weather and Tensorgrip Canister Adhesives

By

 

With winter upon us in a large portion of North America, cold temperatures can potentially change the physical properties of adhesives. Thus, it’s a good idea to pay closer attention to the signs associated with cooler temperatures that will impact canister adhesives like P307, P313, P329 and P302 performance.

Tensorgrip P307 and Tensorgrip P313 (Air Assisted Application)

By

Tensorgrip P307 and P313 adhesives although very similar, have different attributes which are important to know so the user can get the most out of them.

Tensorgrip P307 is a “do it all” CA compliant adhesive with a long open working time and high heat resistance, since it’s pressurized, dispensing is easy and simple. There is hardly any overspray which translates to  close to 90% of the glue landing on the substrates. User can easily switch nozzle tips between 40º, 65° and 95° spraying tip angles.[Read More]

Are Canisters More Effective?

By

canister-smallDid you know, canisters are the most economical way to apply adhesives?

Their transfer efficiency (how much adhesive actually goes on the surface) is close to 95%.  That’s right.  Almost all the adhesive you have purchased goes on the substrates you’re trying to bond.

Let’s compare that 95% to “other” methods of application.

Rolling or brushing

Rolling or brushing on adhesive is a sure way to get the surface 100% covered.  BUT, typically you’re putting down WAY too much.

Spraying

Spraying has been, for years, the most economical method of application.  BUT, a lot is lost into the atmosphere as air is used to atomize the adhesive.  Spraying solvent based adhesives offers about 75% transfer efficiency.  Spraying a water based product offers only about 25% transfer efficiency.

Canisters

Canisters are the most economical method  AND they are portable.  No outside air source is needed.
