Application

Power Grab 'n' Bond will adhere well to:

  • All metals (including lead, copper, zinc, aluminium, stainless steel).
  • Concrete.
  • Most stones.
  • Brick.
  • All woods.
  • Gypsum board.
  • Glass/mirrors.
  • Polycarbonate.
  • Tiles/ceramics.
  • Plastics (excluding PP, PE and PTFE).
  • MDF.
  • Polystyrene.
  • Fibreglass.


For applications where initial high grab is not required users may consider CT1 due the greater variety of colour options available including White, Grey, Black, Anthracite, Brown, Oak and Beige.

For internal applications CT1 clear and silver are also options.


  • Apply in vertical strips.
  • Application temperature range: 5°C to 35°C.
  • Service temperature range: -40°C to 90°C.
  • Apply on dry surfaces.
  • Suitable for use on mirror installations (not suitable for PP backed mirrors).
  • For application advice on sandstone-type materials contact the manufacturer's technical department. Porous stone should be sealed with a good quality PVA solution.
  • For application advice on powder-coated substrates, contact the powder-coating manufacturer to request if any surface preparation is required i.e. priming before applying adhesives.


DIRECTION FOR USE:

  • Cut the tube at the nose above the threaded area and attach the nozzle to the top of the cartridge.
  • Insert the cartridge into a heavy duty chalking gun.
  • All surfaces should be clean and dry.
  • Porous stone should be pre-sealed with a good quality PVA solution.
  • It is advisable that all metal applications should be cleaned and de-greased with C-Tec Multisolve. 
  • Express the adhesive from the cartridge with the "v" in the nozzle facing up.
  • Apply a minimum 200mm of a 10mm diameter bead per kilogram weight on heavy vertical bonding.
  • The bead of adhesive should be applied in continuous vertical lines.
  • After applying the bead of Power Grab 'n' Bond on the surface allow it to rest for approx 5 minutes to start activating before pressing the two surfaces together.


Please Note: While PGB is as strong as a mechanical fix they are required by law for tile and stone installations above 3m in height.

This supersedes everything else but can be used as secondary rather than primary fixings in addition to the adhesive fixing.
