Product Highlights
  • Line-FAS™ Adhesive 85-00 is intended for high volume spray and coil line operations. It runs smoothly on spray head, extrusion or roll coater equipment. Its fine atomization makes it ideal for manual spray applications as well.
  • Line-FAS™ Adhesive 85-00 is solvent free and features an exceptionally mild odor with very low VOC level. It has a mild/negligible odor when wet and no odor when dry.
  • Line-FAS™ Adhesive 85-00 meets ASTM C916, Type II (ASC- A-7001, Type II) adhesive requirements. It is intended for bonding fiberglass and mineral wool duct liner insulation to galvanized steel. Line-FAS™ Adhesive 85-00 meets NFPA 90A and 90B 25/50 requirements.

Preparation and Application Information

Material Preparation

DO NOT THIN. Apply only to clean, dry, oil-free surfaces. Keep container closed when not in use. Before using for the first time, existing systems must be completely cleaned and free of the old adhesive and solvents. Corrosion resistant pumps and fittings are suggested.

Application

Uniformly apply Line-FASTM adhesive to the metal surface at 400 – 500 sq. ft./gal. (9.8 – 12.3 m2 /l). While still wet, press the insulation into place, making sure that complete contact is made with applied adhesive.

Spray

The following equipment combinations are suggested:

  Model Spraygun Fluid Nozzle Air Cap Fluid Pressure

Atomization Pressure

Binks 2001 SS 68SS 68PB 25 psi 60 psi
DeVilbiss JGA-510 E 777 25 psi 60 psi

Airless, electric, 30:1 or equivalent. Tip: 0.019 – 0.025. Average viscosity range: 3,000 to 5,000 cps. All adhesive systems should have a fluid filter of at least a 50-mesh size at the pump, inline or at the gun.

Roll Coaters, Coil Lines and Duct Liner Machines

Use clean equipment suitable for water-based adhesives. Adjust equipment to apply the smallest amount of adhesive that will produce satisfactory bonds. On roll coaters, protect the adhesive from exposure to the air as much as possible. Cover the trough and roller with plastic sheeting when not in use. In dry conditions, occasionally mist the surface of the adhesive with clean water to prevent skinning.

Clean Up

To clean up, use hot soapy water if still wet. When dry, use xylene (flammable) or chlorinated solvent (non-flammable).
