T Rex Power Fast Grab Adhesive

Product description
Soudal T-Rex Power Fast Grab Adhesive Is the most versatile high strength adhesive and sealant with 1 second immediate grab. It has incredible high-end strength of 320kg’s per 10cm2 and even adheres to damp surfaces. It is based on the unique SMX® Polymer technology developed by Soudal.

Properties

Soudal T Rex Power Fast Grab Adhesive properties are as follows:
• High fast grab reducing the need for initial support.
• Fast curing
• Good extrudability
• high shear strength after full cure (no primer)
• Remains elastic after curing & very sustainable
• No odour.
• Can be painted with water-based systems
• Good weather and UV resistance
• Doesn’t contain isocyanates or silicones
• Good adhesion on slightly moist substrates

Applications

Soudal T Rex Power Fast Grab Adhesive can be used for:
• Sealing and bonding in the building and construction industry.
• Elastic bonding of panels, profiles and other pieces on the most common substrates (wood, MDF, chipboard, etc).
• Elastic structural bonding in car and container industry.

Packaging
Soudal T Rex Power Fast Grab Adhesive Is available in a 290 ml cartridge, in white, black, grey, quick silver, beach sand. It is available as a 600ml sausage in white. Other colours are available on request.

Shelf life
15 months in unopened packaging in a cool and dry storage place at temperatures between +5°C and +25°C.

Chemical resistance
Good resistance to (salt)water, aliphatic solvents, hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, alcohols, diluted mineral acids and alkalis. Poor resistance to aromatic solvents, concentrated acids and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Substrates
Substrates: all usual building substrates, treated wood, PVC, plastics,
Nature: rigid, clean, dry, free of dust and grease.
Surface preparation: Porous surfaces in water loaded applications should be primed with Primer 150. Prepare non-porous surfaces with a Soudal activator or cleaner (see Technical Data Sheet).
T Rex Power Fast Grab has been tested on following metal surfaces: AlCuMg1, AlMg3, AlMgSi1, stainless steel, electro-galvanized steel, steel ST1403, hot dip galvanized steel. T Rex Power Fast Grab also has a good adhesion on plastics: polystyrene, polycarbonate (Makrolon®), PVC, polyamide, fiberglass reinforced epoxy, polyester. While producing plastics very often releasing agents, processing aids and other protective agents (like protection foil) are used. These should be removed prior to bonding or sealing. For optimum adhesion the use of SurfaceActivator is recommended. We recommend a preliminary adhesion test on every surface.
NOTICE: bonding plastics like PMMA (e.g. Plexi® glass), polycarbonate (e.g. Makrolon® or Lexan®) in stress loaded applications can give rise to stress cracking and crazing in these substrates. The use of T Rex Power Fast Grab is not recommended in these applications. Not suitable for PE, PP, PTFE (eg Teflon®), bituminous substrates, copper or copper-containing materials such as bronze and brass. We recommend a preliminary adhesion and compatibility test on every surface.

Joint dimensions
The optimal bond thickness for this product is at least 2 mm for the elastic properties to come to full justice.

Application method
Application method: With manual- or pneumatic caulking gun.
Clean up: Uncured with Soudal Swipex, Cleaner & Degreaser, white spirits. When cured removed with Soudal Sealant Remover or mechanically.
Finishing: With a soapy solution or Soudal Finishing Solution before skinning.
Repair: With the same material

Health and Safety Recommendations
Take the usual labour hygiene into account. Consult label and material safety data sheet for more information.

Remarks
• T Rex Power Fast Grab may be overpainted with water-based paints, however due to the large number of paints and varnishes available we strongly suggest a compatibility test before application.
• The drying time of alkyd resin-based paints may increase.
• T Rex Power Fast Grab can be applied to a wide variety of substrates. Due to the fact that specific substrates such as plastics, like polycarbonate, etc, may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, we recommend preliminary compatibilty test.
• While producing plastics very often releasing agents, processing aids and other protective agents (like protection foil) are used. These should be removed prior to bonding. For optimum adhesion the use of Surface Activator is recommended.
• T Rex Power Fast Grab cannot be used as a glazing sealant.
• T Rex Power Fast Grab can be used for bonding of natural stone, but it cannot be used as a joint sealant on this type of surface. T Rex Power Fast Grab can therefore only be used on the bottom of natural stone tiles.
• When applying, make sure that the surface of the materials is not smudged with sealant.
• A total absence of UV can cause a color change of the sealant.
• When using different reactive joint sealants, the first joint sealant must be completely hardened before the next one is applied.
• Not suitable for bonding aquariums.
• Do not use in applications where
continuous water immersion is possible.
