Premium Non-Chlorinated Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive 1 Can

Non-Chlorinated Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive

Non-Chlorinated Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive is a high-performance sprayable contact adhesive for professional upholstery, foam conversion, furniture manufacture and general workroom bonding.

The NC501 formulation combines high solids, initial grab, strong bond strength and a long open time, providing greater working flexibility when positioning suitable materials before the bond is completed.

Supplied as a 500ml aerosol, it provides convenient, even adhesive application across both broad and irregular surfaces.

Non-Chlorinated Upholstery Spray Adhesive

This contact adhesive is formulated without chlorinated solvents, providing an alternative for users specifically requiring a non-chlorinated spray adhesive.

Its non-chlorinated formulation does not mean the aerosol is harmless or non-flammable. Appropriate ventilation, safe handling and the current product safety instructions must still be followed.

The adhesive is suitable for bonding a broad range of compatible materials including:

• Upholstery foam
• Fabrics
• Wood
• Plywood
• MDF
• Metals
• Rubber
• Cardboard
• Polythene
• Suitable plastics
• Decorative laminates

Always test the materials first before beginning the main job.

Foam Adhesive Spray for Upholstery

NC501 is particularly useful for bonding upholstery foam during cushion manufacture, furniture production and reupholstery work.

Potential applications include:

• Joining compatible foam sections
• Building layered cushions
• Creating shaped foam components
• Bonding foam to suitable plywood or MDF panels
• Furniture padding
• Upholstered panels
• General foam fabrication
• Furniture repair and restoration

The web spray pattern helps distribute the adhesive across larger foam surfaces, while its strong initial grab helps hold correctly positioned components together.

Customers requiring foam for seats, cushions and furniture projects can see the Upholstery Foam range.

Long Open Time for Larger Upholstery Jobs

One of the key advantages of this spray adhesive is its long open time.

A longer open time gives the user more opportunity to prepare and position components before the adhesive passes its useful bonding window.

This can be particularly valuable when:

• Bonding larger foam sections
• Laminating broad surfaces
• Positioning furniture panels
• Working with awkwardly shaped upholstery components
• Aligning multiple materials
• Carrying out more complicated assembly work

The manufacturer states that, when protected from contamination, the adhesive can retain an open time of several hours.

Always follow the current application instructions for the exact materials being bonded.

High-Solids Contact Adhesive with Strong Grab

The NC501 formulation has an approximately 33% solids content, helping provide dependable adhesive coverage while reducing the risk of applying too little adhesive.

Key characteristics include:

• Non-chlorinated formulation
• High solids content
• initial grab
• Strong finished bond
• Long open time
• Fast drying
• Web spray pattern
• Clear adhesive
• Good temperature resistance
• multi-material bonding

These characteristics make it particularly useful for professional upholstery workshops and furniture manufacturers carrying out repeated bonding work.

Spray Adhesive for Polyester Wadding and Cushion Making

Spray adhesive can also be useful when securing compatible Polyester Wadding around foam cushions.

A light, even application helps keep the wadding positioned on the foam, preventing it from shifting or bunching while the cushion cover is fitted.

Correctly positioned wadding helps:

• Soften foam edges
• Add loft and fullness
• Improve cushion shape
• Create a smoother surface beneath the cover
• Produce a more consistent finished cushion

Avoid saturating polyester wadding with adhesive. Excess glue can flatten the fibres or create hard areas beneath the upholstery cover.

Always test compatibility before full application.

Foam, Wadding and Stockinette Cushion Construction

A typical foam cushion may use several materials together.

The Upholstery Foam forms the supportive core.

Polyester Wadding can then be bonded around the cushion to soften the edges and add fullness.

Finally, Roll Stockinette can be fitted around the wrapped foam to reduce friction and help the cushion interior slide into a close-fitting cover.

Using the correct adhesive helps keep these layers securely positioned during cushion assembly and cover fitting.

High Temperature Resistance up to 100°C

Tuskbond NC501 has a published SAFT heat resistance of 100°C, giving it greater temperature resistance than many basic general-purpose adhesive applications require.

This can be useful where the bonded component may experience elevated temperatures.

However, temperature resistance alone should not be used to decide whether an adhesive is suitable for a particular application.

For vehicle headlining and automotive trimming, also consider the dedicated Trimbond High Temperature Spray Adhesive and select the adhesive according to the exact materials, expected temperatures and manufacturer instructions.

Important Material Limitations

NC501 is highly versatile, but it is not suitable for every material.

The manufacturer specifically advises:

Do not use on flexible PVC or expanded polystyrene (EPS).

Some vinyls contain high levels of plasticiser. Over time, plasticiser migration may soften or weaken an unsuitable adhesive bond.

Always test a small sample first if there is any uncertainty about material compatibility.

This is particularly important with:

• Vinyl
• Flexible plastics
• Specialist foams
• Coated fabrics
• Painted surfaces
• Sensitive synthetic materials

Never assume that a strong general-purpose contact adhesive is suitable simply because two materials can physically be glued together.

Preparing Materials Before Bonding

Good preparation is essential for a dependable adhesive bond.

Before applying the aerosol:

• Ensure both surfaces are clean
• Remove loose dust and foam particles
• Remove incompatible grease or contamination
• Make sure surfaces are dry
• Remove loose or unstable old adhesive
• Test sensitive materials
• Protect surrounding finished surfaces from overspray
• Plan component positioning before spraying

Foam dust and loose fibres can prevent the adhesive from reaching the material beneath and weaken the finished bond.

Applying Non-Chlorinated Spray Adhesive

Always follow the current product label and technical instructions.

Apply a controlled, even coating rather than saturating the material.

The adhesive produces a web spray pattern, helping distribute the contact adhesive across the bonding area.

Allow the adhesive to reach the correct tack condition before joining the components.

Once contact adhesives are brought together, repositioning can become difficult, so confirm alignment beforehand even though this product provides a relatively long open time.

Apply suitable pressure across the joined surfaces to establish good contact.

Non-Chlorinated Does Not Mean Solvent-Free

The phrase non-chlorinated adhesive refers to the solvent formulation and should not be confused with solvent-free adhesive.

NC501 remains a solvent-based aerosol contact adhesive.

When using it:

• Work with adequate ventilation
• Avoid breathing aerosol mist or vapour
• Keep away from flames, sparks and ignition sources
• Do not smoke during application
• Follow the product label and safety data
• Use appropriate workplace PPE
• Store aerosols correctly

Professional users should incorporate the current safety information into their workplace COSHH assessment.
