Tuff-Bond is a high strength, heavy-bodied adhesive, specifically formulated for adhering anchors for hanging insulation. Tuff-Bond is also recommended for use as a general-purpose construction adhesive in application requiring a high-strength bond or in applications subjected to high temperatures.
Tuff-Bond bonds metal and nylon anchors to metal, concrete, masonry, or wood surfaces. Also recommended for installing metal or ceramic wall fixtures in tile applications.
Surfaces to be bonded should be clean, dry and free of any dust, frost, wax, moisture, dirt, grease, oil, rust, or other contaminants. Do not use over painted surfaces. Many protective coatings are not compatible with Tuff-Bond; therefore, make a test bond before proceeding with application. Clean all metal surfaces with 1,1,1-trichloroethane, acetone, or other degreaser, exercising safe practices as recommended by the manufacturer. Tuff-Bond should be stored at room temperature (60° to 80°F) for a least 24 hours prior to use.
Do not apply at temperatures below 30°F. Prepare and install one anchor at a time. Apply a dab (the size of a small walnut) of adhesive to the anchor base with a putty knife and immediately (maximum open time is 10 minutes) press anchors firmly into place, with a slight twisting motion. For proper adhesion, insure that the film of adhesive covering the anchor base (after the anchor has been firmly pressed into place) is protruding through the perforated base plate. Application will be dry in approximately 24-72 hours, depending on atmospheric conditions. Do not apply load until application is completely dry.
New concrete surfaces need to cure a minimum of 28 days in order to ensure best adhesion. All concrete surfaces should be high-pressure water blasted or sand blasted to remove any surface curing agents and all foreign matter. Spread anchor adhesive on anchor base, allowing solvent to flash off for several minutes before pressing anchor firmly into place with a slight twisting motion. Do not apply load until application is completely dry.
