TENSORGRIP TC42 SUPER HS INFUSION RTM ADHESIVE, CLEAR, 500ML

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

TensorGrip® TC42 is designed for the infusion mould market. This product is a high performance, solvent-based polymer adhesive in 

a pressurised canister delivery system. TensorGrip® TC42 is specifically designed to hold reinforcing fibres in place during the infusion 

process of the resin without affecting the surface finish or structural integrity. TensorGrip® TC42 is compatible with polyester, styrene and 

vinyl ester resins.

ADVANTAGES

•  Used for Infusion/Vacuum Forming composites. 

•  Safely fuses laminating materials to structural core surfaces.

•  Provides superior holding during forming process.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

This product is designed to be applied to one of the surfaces to be bonded together. It can also be applied to both 

surfaces if required. Applying adhesives to both sides may be required when bonding core foams and balsa core materials. 

Make sure that surfaces are clean, dry and free from dirt, dust, oil, loose paint, wax or grease, etc. For best results, the 

temperature of the adhesive and the surfaces being bonded should be between 60 °F - 80 °F (16 °C - 27 °C). 

Use with adequate ventilation. When possible we recommend shaking the canister or aerosol well before 

using. When using a canister, attach and secure hose tightly onto the spray gun with required tip. Attach the other end 

of the hose onto the canister. Make sure the hose-valve connections are securely tight. Open the valve on the 

canister slowly and fully, check for leaks during this process. Unlock the trigger on the spray gun to start spraying. 

Spray about 10-20 cm (4” – 8”) away at a 90 degree angle to the surface, applying a uniform, even coat of adhesive to 

obtain 80% to 100% coverage of the surface. If necessary, spray another coat of adhesive in areas that appear to need 

more adhesive. If using a two way stick, spray both surfaces to be bonded, one surface vertically and the other surface 

horizontally. Allow the adhesive to tack off until no adhesive transfers to the knuckle when touched.

Adhere surfaces and press together with adequate pressure.

If the spray tip clogs, unscrew the spray tip from the gun and clean with solvent such as lacquer thinner or acetone. Do not 

use a pin on the spray tip orifice.

CANISTER STORAGE/CHANGE OVER

 Turn valve on canister into the off position, spray out remaining adhesive left in the hose, disconnect the spray 

hose and gun from the canister. Reconnect the spray hose to a canister of cleaning solvent (sold separately) and spray 

out until liquid is clear which indicates that the hose and gun is clean. If you choose to leave the hose and spray gun 

on the canister, leave the valve on the canister open. Do not disconnect the hose/gun from the canister. Close and lock 

the spray gun.
