- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Advantages
- CP-137 coating is non-flammable in the wet state and fire resistive when dry.
- It contains no solvents to attack insulations or facings.
- The viscosity permits overhead and vertical applications that do not sag or run for additional ease of application.
- The combination of properties afforded by this material gives it great versatility both as an adhesive and a coating.
- The polymeric resins make this an adhesive of high bond strength and unusual permanence.
- The tough film is washable and is abrasion resistant.

- Uses
- CP-137 coating is used for adhering fabrics such as glass cloth, canvas (up to 8 oz.) and brattice cloth to many insulated surfaces such as round and rectangular duct work and equipment.
- It is also used for adhering the laps of these fabrics as well as some woven glass cloths on pipe insulation.
- Suggested Specifications
Pipe Insulation, Duct Insulation and Equipment:
- All insulation finished with canvas (or other fabric finishes) shall be bonded with and have their laps adhered with this coating.
- Apply only to clean, dry, oil-free surfaces. Apply a tack coat at 60 - 70 sq. ft. per gal.. Immediately embed the selected lagging fabric into the wet coating.
- Smooth to avoid wrinkles and overlap seams by at least 2 inches (5 cm). Immediately apply a finish coat at 60 - 70 sq. ft. per gal.
- The dry film thickness of this application will vary with the fabric selected. For air conditioning ducts, increase the coverage rate to 40 - 50 sq. ft. per gal. for each coat.
Notes to Specifying Engineer:
- It is recommended that in using most types of pre-sized glass cloth facings, this adhesive be used as the lap adhesive.
- The above suggested specification is for hot piping and equipment. It may be used for equipment operating as low as 55°F (13°C) in northern climates where a material with a perm rating of 1.3 is adequate.
- Preparation and Application Information
Use of Material:
- Stir well, do not thin. This coating brushes easily.
- It should be stored indoors and above freezing temperatures, and should not be applied below 40°F nor above 100°F for best results.
The Condition of the Surface to be Adhered or Coated:
- Certain surfaces which are dusty or porous such as calcium silicate or certain mineral fiber materials should first be primed with a light coat of this product coating diluted 50% with water for proper bonding. A coating or adhesive will adhere no better than the integrity of the surface to which it is applied.
Application:
- This is easy to apply by brush or roller. The same procedure would be used when applying latex paints or similar brush-on coatings.
- Brushes or other tools should be kept in water and cleaned with hot, soapy water.
- This coating may be sprayed with many types of equipment, including airless spray.
- It may also be sprayed with conventional mastic spray equipment using an external atomizing spray gun.
- Many manufacturers of spray equipment can make detailed recommendations for any number of types of equipment.
- The spray equipment and techniques would be similar to those used for applying block fillers or heavy, latex paints.
- For best results, we suggested the following airless spray equipment.

- This is an excellent adhesive and also has good resistance to many chemicals and solvents.
- Spillage of this material should be cleaned immediately by washing with water.
- If it is allowed to dry, the best method for attempted cleanup is hot water, detergent and a wire brush.
- Always test foil and paper facing for acceptable adhesion before using.
Clean Up:
- Warm, soapy water (wet) or xylol (dry)
