Basic Use
CA3200 bonds to most common building materials including:
wood, plaster, concrete and masonry. It also bonds to aluminum,
galvanized and cold-rolled steel.
CA3200 can be used to install prefinished paneling, drywall,
core base, tileboard, trim and acoustical panels, corkboard and
foamboard.
Shelf Life
CA3200 has a shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacture
when stored at temperatures from 40°F to 90°F. Expiration date
is stamped into each tube.
Limitations
Hilti CA3200 is not recommended for subfloor applications.
7.2.5.3 INSTALLA TION DATA
7.2.5.4 INSTALLATION INSTR UCTIONS
Place adhesive cartridge into standard one quart dispenser, then cut
the tip of the cartridge nozzle at a slant to the desired bead diameter.Puncture inner seal with nail or wire and apply adhesiv e in a
continuous bead to furring strips or studs and top and bottom plates.
Material to be adhered should be partially nailed or braced to aid
alignment during installation.For laminating, use a zig zag pattern.
When used for installing paneling, all panels should be measured
and prefit, and cutouts for switches and outlets completed bef ore
applying adhesive.
To speed bond development, materials should be pressed into
position, then removed for one min ute and repressed.Apply only
as much CA3200 as can be covered in 15 minutes.F or best
results, store at room temperature and use entire contents of tube
once it has been opened.
Surface Preparation
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from all contaminants
such as oil and grease.
For Bonding Foam Products—Foam Installations:
If adhering directly to wall, grind off excessive mortar and other
high areas from wall surface.F or polystyrene f oam, apply a maximum 1/4" bead of adhesive.For urethane f oam, apply a maxim um
3/8" bead.Press foam panel firmly against adhesive to make
transfer , then partially pull out panel for two to three minutes to
release solvents which can weaken or etch certain foams by continual contact.Gap should not exceed 1/16" after repressing panel
in place.
When bonding polystyrene foam, surface temperatures should not
exceed 90°F.Excessive adhesive thickness ma y cause significant
etching of foamboard.
Cleaning
Tools and excess adhesive should be cleaned with mineral spirits.
