Method of Application

ENIFIX 550 is used for air duct insulation, pipe applications, under
deck (metal, concrete) and over deck insulation installation.
ENIFIX 550 is an ideal product for bonding:

  • NBR Insulation to GI
  • XLPE Insulation to GI
  • NBR Insulation to MS Pipe
  • XLPE Insulation to MS Pipe
  • NBR Insulation in Underdeck
  • XLPE Insulation in Underdeck
  • Nitrile & EPDM Rubber Insulation
  • Closed Cell & PE Cross Link Foam Insulation System
Conforms To :

Free of asbestos, lead and mercury compounds.

Surface Preparation:
The surface should be structurally sound, clean, dry, levelled, and free from dust, curing compounds, grease and other loose debris.
Keep container closed when not in use.
 
Application Procedure:
Apply ENIFIX 550 evenly with a brush or roller. Allow the surface to become tacky & dry. After the evaporation of the solvent in adhesive, assemble the surface by applying normal hand pressure. Special care must be taken on the edges and adhesive must be evenly applied.
If the material is porous, apply a second coat of ENIFIX 550 and let it dry.
 
Note: 

The adhesive and the parts to be bonded must be at room temperature for optimum results (do not use below 10°C). The relative humidity must be below 65%to avoid formation of bubbles in the final product. The final bonding strength will depend on the pressure applied. Therefore, press across the entire surface as firmly as possible.
