CRC ADOS Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive 210ml Aerosol

CRC ADOS Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive is a solvent-based, pressure-sensitive one-way spray adhesive in an aerosol. CRC's data sheet describes a white foam that dries clear, with low soak and fast tack-off.

It remains repositionable for 1-2 minutes from first contact. Once positioned it bonds within 10-20 minutes and takes 24 hours to cure fully. CRC says not to use it where heat-resistant or immersed-in-water bonds are required. The SDS classifies it as an extremely flammable aerosol.

Key specifications

Available sizes

Selecting the right option

This is a repositionable adhesive for light bonding up to 40°C. For a permanent bond from an aerosol see CRC Ultra High Strength Spray Aerosol Adhesive 8180 - 550ml; for brush or roller applied contact adhesive see CRC ADOS F2 Multi-Purpose Contact Adhesive.

Using it

CRC's directions: surfaces must be clean and dry. Shake the can, then spray from 20-25cm with a smooth sweeping action, applying a light coat only.

Non-porous surfaces: apply to one surface, allow to tack off for 1 minute (maximum 4 minutes), then press together firmly. Porous surfaces: apply to both surfaces, allow to tack off for 1 minute (maximum 4 minutes), then press together. Some porous surfaces need a sealing pre-coat.

Test in a typical bonding situation before coating the full area. After use, hold the can upside down and spray briefly to clear the nozzle. CRC says to clean surfaces with CRC Solvent PS, which is not for cleaning equipment.

Storage and handling

CRC says to store indoors at a temperature between 5°C and 20°C. Do not puncture, incinerate or store above 50°C.
