Applications & Uses
- Limitations
-
- To prevent charring keep insulation dust and other contaminants out of adhesive. Keep hot melt tank covered at all times and keep boxes of unused adhesive closed or in dust free storage.
- Maintain tank, hose and tip temperature below 325°F. When adhesive will not be used for extended periods of time turn off heat or reduce temperature to below 200°F. Do not leave adhesive in tank hot overnight.

- Product Highlights
-
- FOSTER 83-13HM ZP Adhesive is very low odor and has excellent swirl spray or extrusion capability.
- It may be applied at relatively low adhesive temperatures while still maintaining a long open time when applied to either the insulation or direct to the facing* material.
* For best results, and to avoid wrinkling with Saran or other temperature sensitive facings, apply the adhesive directly to the insulation rather than facing.
