At a Glance: Key Applications
Use Everbond Brush Contact for: Rapid bonding of laminates, foams, textiles, metals and plastics in upholstery, cabinetry, transport interiors and general fabrication.
Everbond Brush Contact: A Technical Overview
Everbond Brush Contact is a high-performance, brushable polychloroprene contact adhesive, ideal for industrial and automotive applications. Engineered for fast drying (3–5 min) and immediate high bond strength, it excels in bonding substrates with spring-back forces like PUR foams, trims, and edging. With resistance to heat >120°C (with 2P additive), aging, and water ingress, this thixotropic adhesive ensures stable bonds in high-demand environments including vehicle interiors and furniture assembly. Its low solid content and fast flash-off make it particularly efficient for production environments requiring fast throughput.
Core Features & Specifications
- Fast drying – tack ready in 3–5 minutes for quicker assembly lines
- High initial bond strength ensures immediate handling of bonded parts
- Excellent heat resistance (>120°C with additive) for high-temp environments
- Brushable thixotropic consistency ideal for smooth application
- Adheres to a wide range of porous and non-porous surfaces
- Low viscosity and even spread minimise material usage
The Everbond Brush Contact Advantage
- Speeds up fabrication with ultra-short flash-off time
- Minimises bond failures with solvent-resistant formulation
- Performs in warm climates with high thermal stability
- Suitable for intricate jobs thanks to precision brush application
- Great for batch jobs – use only what you need, when you need it
Cure Profile & Performance
Typical flash-off or open time is 3–5 minutes depending on temperature and humidity. Bonding should occur once surfaces are tack dry. High initial strength eliminates the need for prolonged clamping.
Coverage Rate & Yield
Coverage ranges from 6–8 m² per litre, when applied evenly to both bonding surfaces. Over-application or pooling may reduce bond performance due to solvent entrapment.
Application information cards
Required Tools & Equipment
- Brush or notched trowel
- Bonding press or roller for even pressure
- Masking tape for clean edges
Pro Tips for Best Results
- Apply adhesive to both substrates evenly
- Wait until touch dry before bonding
- Use firm, even pressure across surface
Avoiding Common Issues
- Avoid application below 10°C – condensation will weaken bonds
- Do not pool adhesive – may cause blistering or weak bond
- Store sealed to prevent evaporation and contamination
Storage & Shelf Life Considerations
Store in original sealed packaging, between +10°C and +25°C. Protect from moisture and direct sunlight. Shelf life is 12 months when stored as specified.
Frequently Asked Questions About Everbond Brush Contact
Q: How long should I wait before bonding the substrates after application?
A: Wait until the adhesive becomes tack-dry, typically within 3–5 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity. Bonding too early may trap solvents and compromise strength.
Q: Can I use Everbond Brush Contact on porous materials like foam or fabric?
A: Yes, but for very porous materials, a spray-grade contact adhesive may be more suitable to prevent bleed-through. Everbond is optimised for brush application on mid-porosity substrates.
Q: What’s the maximum heat resistance once cured?
A: Everbond Brush Contact withstands over 120°C when used with the 2P additive, making it ideal for transport and upholstery under high thermal load.
Q: How should I clean tools and surfaces after use?
A: Use acetone for effective cleanup while adhesive is still uncured. Ensure ventilation and follow safety procedures during cleanup.
Applications & Benefits
| Application / Use Case | Key Benefit | Primary Trades |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture & Auto Upholstery | Strong initial bond strength even on flexible materials | Upholsterers, Automotive Fitters |
| Foam Bonding in Transport Fitouts | Handles spring-back forces in PUR and textile foams | Vehicle Interior Fitters |
| Cabinetry & Laminate Bonding | Quick handling time improves workshop efficiency | Cabinet Makers, Joiners |
Applying Everbond Brush Contact: Protocols & Best Practices
General Application Steps:- Preparation: Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry. Apply bond breaker tape where required. Mask off adjacent surfaces.
- Application: Use a brush or notched trowel to apply an even coat to both substrates. Wait until tack dry (approx. 3–5 min).
- Tooling & Finishing: Bring parts together using firm, even pressure across the bond area. Avoid repositioning.
- Curing: The adhesive achieves high initial strength immediately. Full bond strength is reached after solvent evaporation.
For Upholsterers: Automotive Trim Bonding
The Engineering Challenge: Bonding curved trims and vinyls with high rebound in warm interiors.
The System-Based Solution with Everbond Brush Contact: Fast-tack adhesive resists movement under tension and heat, reducing failures on arched profiles and door linings.
Best Practice Note: Use even brush strokes to avoid solvent pooling. Apply roller pressure for full contact.
Limitations & Safety
Product limitations and safety information
Limitations:
