Selection of Adhesive
Choose from three types of adhesive systems designed for specic application environments and temperatures: Rubber-based Adhesive Foam Tape, Acrylic-based Adhesive Foam Tape, or Two-part Epoxy Adhesive. Carefully choosing the correct adhesive and closely following the recommended installation steps will provide a reliable, long-term bond.
Rubber-Based Adhesive Foam Tape
Rubber-based Adhesive Foam Tape is the best choice for the vast majority of adhesive mount applications, includingapplica-tions where powder coated surfaces are being used. This pressure sensitive tape develops its strength extremely fast and can be used in indoor environments with temperatures ranging from -20°F to 120°F (-29°C to 49°C). Rubber-based Adhesive Foam Tape is the most widely used and generally recommended foam tape for wire routing applications.
Acrylic-Based Adhesive Foam Tape
Acrylic-based Adhesive Foam Tape is a good choice in applications with prolonged exposure to UV rays or heavy moisture. It is designed to be used in indoor or outdoor environments where temperatures can vary from -20°F to 180°F (-29°C to 82°C). The acrylic-based adhesive develops its maximum strength over a longer period of time compared to the rubber-based adhesive. It is recommended that the mounts dwell eight (8) hours after installation and prior to loading.
Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive
Two-part Epoxy Adhesive is for use in applications where excessive loading is required or where the mounting surface is porous rather than smooth. This adhesive is formulated specically for use on PANDUIT ® EMS and ASMS mounts in either indoor or outdoor applications. It is packaged in convenient pre-measured cups to insure the proper ratio of resin and hardener, as well as eliminate waste.

Guideline for Adhesive
The following chart should be used as a guideline for choosing
the best adhesive for common surfaces and chemical resistance.
Since each application has specific requirements,
recommends that further testing be conducted to determine the
suitability of the adhesive in a specific environment or application.
2. Mounts manufactured from outdoor material only. For specific applications, individual testing prior to extensive use is suggested.
3. Depends on concentration, exposure time and chemical composition.

Proper Installation Steps
Surface Preparation
For best results, mounts should be applied to a clean, dry, and grease-free surface. It is recommended that for each individual application,
a solvent or cleanser be used to thoroughly prepare the surface for mount installation. The following are recommended cleaning guidelines:
1. For Rubber and Acrylic-based Adhesive Foam Tape, a mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol may be used on
Alcohol
Installing the Mount
most surfaces.
For Two-part Epoxy Adhesive, especially on masonry surfaces, be sure to clean all loose particles away before
mount installation. Some surface abrasion is recommended on smooth surfaces to achieve maximum strength.
A light rubbing with medium grit emery cloth or sandpaper is best. Wash the surface after abrading.
2. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying the mount.
1. For proper installation of adhesive backed mounts with foam tape, remove the release liner from the foam
adhesive. Without touching the adhesive, place the mount in the desired location.
For Two-part Epoxy Adhesive Mounts, apply 1/3 of the mixed adhesive to the bottom of the
PANDUIT
®
EMS or
ASMS mount. Without touching the adhesive, place the mount in the desired location.
2. Apply firm pressure for five (5) seconds to the foam tape mounts to insure proper adhesion.
Two-part Epoxy Adhesive Mounts should be twisted in place to ensure the adhesive is forced into the
porous surface.
3. Allow the mount to remain in place for the recommended dwell time for the specific adhesive being used.

The dwell time for Rubber-based Adhesive Foam Tape is two (2) hours and for Acrylic-based Adhesive Foam
Tape it is eight (8) hours.
Two-part Epoxy Adhesive Mounts can support about 5 lbs. after first fifteen (15) minutes. The adhesive fully
cures after twenty-four (24) hours and bonding strength will exceed 50 lbs.
4. The mount is now ready to be used.

Mount Spacing
To determine the number of mounts to use in a given application, the following formula can be used as a guideline:
Cable bundle weight in lbs/foot
Maximum static load rating of the mount*
Minimum number of
=
mounts per foot
For example, to determine the mount spacing using part number ABM2S-A-C for an application with a bundle of wires that weigh one
pound per foot, the formula would be:
1 pound per foot
=
0.5 lbs load rating
* See pages 6-7 for static load ratings.
2 mounts per foot
Proper Storage Conditions
Mounts and adhesives should be kept in the original packaging until they are ready to be applied. Store at room temperature 70°F (21°C)
with 45% or less relative humidity. Avoid storing adhesive products near heating vents or other heating sources.
Using the guidelines above, the average shelf life of adhesive foam tape is three (3) years from the date of manufacture. The shelf life of
Two-part Epoxy Adhesive is one (1) year from the date of manufacture. Failing to follow the recommended storage conditions may reduce
the shelf life or adhesive strength of the foam tape and Two-part Epoxy Adhesive.
