ADOS F38 Contact Adhesive

Heat-resistant, strong bonding adhesive for high temperature environments

ADOS F38 is a high-performance contact adhesive specifically formulated for applications requiring superior heat resistance. It provides a strong, durable bond that maintains its integrity even in elevated temperature conditions where standard contact adhesives may fail.

Designed for professional use, ADOS F38 offers excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates including laminates, timber, metals, and composite materials. Its reliable performance makes it ideal for vertical surfaces, high-stress areas, and environments exposed to heat.

Easy to apply and fast bonding, ADOS F38 ensures efficient installation with long-lasting, high-strength results across demanding applications.

Applications: Consumables & Accessories

ADOS F38 Contact Adhesive Specifications

Features & Benefits

  • High heat resistance – maintains bond strength in elevated temperature environments
  • Strong, durable bond – suitable for demanding applications
  • Instant bond on contact once tack dry
  • Excellent adhesion to a wide range of materials
  • Flexible bond reduces risk of cracking or failure
  • Suitable for vertical and high-stress applications
  • Professional-grade performance

Uses

  • High-pressure laminates (Formica, Laminex) in heat-exposed areas
  • Kitchen benchtops and cabinetry
  • Wall panels and partitions
  • Timber, plywood, MDF, and particleboard
  • Sheet metal and aluminium
  • Automotive and marine interiors
  • General industrial and construction applications requiring heat resistance

Application

  • Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or contaminants
  • Apply an even coat to both surfaces using brush, roller, or spray
  • Allow adhesive to become tack dry before bonding
  • Carefully align surfaces – bond forms instantly on contact
  • Apply firm, even pressure using a roller or press
  • Avoid repositioning once surfaces have contacted

Coverage

  • Approx. 4–6 m² per litre (depending on surface type and application method)

Drying Time

  • Tack-free: approx. 10–20 minutes (depending on temperature and conditions)
  • Full bond strength develops over time after application

Clean Up

  • Clean equipment with suitable solvent such as mineral turpentine before adhesive dries

Safety
