Description:
OSI® GreenSeries™ Drywall and Panel Construction Adhesive is a professional grade, latex-based
construction adhesive designed for drywall and other panel applications. This non-flammable, low
gassing adhesive can be used for all interior and in-plant construction use. This ultra-low VOC product
offers fast strength development and high shear strength, making it well suited for a variety of
construction projects requiring high bond strength. The product’s unique formulation offers Green
Builders a high performance construction adhesive over traditional solvent based adhesives without
sacrificing strength and performance. Engineered for use with most building materials.
Recommended Uses:
Bonding drywall to wood or metal framing
Adhering foamboard, decorative paneling and other types of panels to wood furring strips,
concrete walls or drywall
Can be used in most interior remodeling or repair projects.
Bonds to drywall, paneling, all
types of wood trim, plywood, hardboard, OSB, countertops and similar materials
Can be used for recreational and prefab modular manufacturing
Not Recommended For:
Underwater applications or permanent water immersion
Applications requiring temperature resistance greater than 170°F (77°C)
Exterior applications where rain is expected within 24 hours
Use on mirrors and metals that will corrode
Bonding two non-porous surfaces
Polyethylene, polypropylene, Nylon™ or Teflon™
Cement Board (Durock™)
Coverage:
For a 28 fl. oz. cartridge:
A ¼” (6 mm) bead extrudes approximately 86 ft. (26 m).
A 3/8” (9.5 mm) bead extrudes approximately 38 ft. (12 m).
Directions:
Tools Typically Required:
Utility knife, caulking gun and tool to puncture inner seal of cartridge.
Safety Precautions:
Wear gloves.
Preparation:
The temperature of the adhesive, the surfaces and the working area must be above 40°F (4°C) and below 100°F (38°C). For best performance,
apply adhesive at 70°F (21°C). Ensure surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, structurally sound and free of dust, grease, oil, snow, ice, standing
water or other contaminants. To increase adhesion, sand glossy surfaces to a dull finish. Pre-fit all materials prior to applying product. Cut off
tip of cartridge at a 45° angle to desired bead size. Puncture inside seal of cartridge.
Application:
General Construction Use:
Using a caulking gun, apply adhesive to surfaces using a ¼” (6 mm) to 3/8” (9.5 mm) round bead size. Join surfaces together within 10 minutes
of application. If work is delayed, remove excess adhesive and begin again. Note: Actual cure time will vary depending upon ambient
conditions at the time of application.
Paneling and Foamboard Installation:
Apply continuous beads of adhesive to studs or furring strips (wood or metal). For wall surfaces, prepare surface accordingly and apply
continuous parallel beads 12” (30 cm) to 16” (40 cm) O.C. Position panel and press firmly into place. Use finishing nails or mechanical
fasteners along top and bottom edges to hold panels in place. Temporary blocking of panels may be required until adhesive sets.
Drywall Installation:
Apply adhesive in the same manner as detailed in paneling instructions. Field fasteners may be required if gypsum board shows evidence of
warping. Note: Field fasteners are required 24” (61 cm) O.C. for all ceiling applications in addition to perimeter fasteners.
Clean-up:
Clean tools and uncured adhesive residue immediately with warm water and soap. Cured adhesive may be carefully cut away with a sharpedged
tool. |
