Tile-O-Mite Hot Melt Adhesive for Gluing Tile Displays

PRODUCT TYPE: Hot Melt Adhesive.

APPLICATIONS: This product is a versatile high performance hot melt adhesive designed for product assembly, particularly the gluing of ceramic tile displays. It combines medium open-time, excellent high and low temperature properties, oil resistance and adhesion to a broad spectrum of difficult-to-bond substrates.

It is well suited for gluing glass, ceramics, plastics and some treated polyester surfaces. It forms strong bonds with wood, fabrics, leather and other porous and fibrous substrates. As with all adhesives, the user must conduct tests to determine the suitability of this product for their use.

We offer this product in two formulas:

  1. Bulk 50-pound cartons (part# tilo-bulk) for bulk systems
  2. Half-inch stick form, 20-pound cartons (part# tilo-12) for use in glue stick guns

CLEAN-UP INSTRUCTIONS: Consult the equipment manufacturer for clean-up procedures or flush the unit with mineral oil or paraffin wax at 250ÅF. Do not exceed a flush temperature of 300ÅF. Flush the applicator thoroughly with hot melt to purge the system.
(Note: cleaning is generally not required when using glue sticks.)

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: To minimize the risk of burns, we recommend the use of eye protection and protective clothing when working near a hot melt applicator. To minimize the risk of flammable vapors, do not exceed a melt temperature above400ÅF. Prevent the build-up of vapors. Extinguish all sources of ignition during hot melt use.

*NOTE: Surfaces and information above are suggestions only... final tests for suitability remain the responsibility of the user. As with all hot melt adhesives the user must take care to avoid getting hot adhesive on the skin. TILE-O-MITE is not FDA approved for use as a Food Packaging Adhesive.
