Acrylic-based Adhesives Key Applications
- Decorative Interior Elements – Securely mount crown moldings, wainscoting, ceiling medallions, and trim without visible hardware or surface damage. The white finish of our acrylic adhesives blends seamlessly with most decorative elements, ensuring a clean, professional appearance.
- Commercial Installations – Rapidly attach acoustic panels, signage components, and interior trim with minimal downtime. The quick initial grab of POINT 200 allows commercial contractors to move efficiently through large installation projects without waiting for mechanical fasteners.
- Renovation Projects – Bond new materials to existing surfaces without destructive drilling that might compromise structural integrity. Our adhesives create strong connections between old and new building materials, even on uneven or compromised substrates.
- Energy-Efficient Construction – Attach insulation boards and decorative foam elements with exceptional polystyrene compatibility. POINT 92’s specialized formulation for polystyrene creates strong bonds without the chemical degradation often caused by solvent-based alternatives.
- Transitional Elements – Mount window sills, thresholds, floor transitions, and wall panels with professional results. These critical junctions benefit from the flexibility and durability of acrylic adhesives, accommodating minor movement while maintaining structural integrity.
- Time-Sensitive Projects – Achieve significantly faster installation compared to mechanical fastening methods, reducing labor costs and project timelines. The immediate grab of POINT 200 eliminates the need for temporary bracing or clamping during the curing process.
- Sensitive Surface Applications – Safely use on finished materials thanks to non-aggressive, solvent-free formulations. These gentle yet powerful adhesives won’t cause discoloration or degradation on delicate surfaces like polished stone or pre-finished panels.
- High-Stress Mounting – Secure heavy decorative elements with POINT 200’s exceptional 200 kg/m² initial adhesion force. Even substantial architectural elements remain firmly in place 5-10 minutes after application through the complete curing process.
- Membrane and Film Installation – Properly seal vapor barriers and insulation membranes with specialized POINT 203 adhesive. Its DIN4108-7 certification ensures compliance with thermal insulation requirements for energy-efficient building envelopes.
- Wooden Component Assembly – Join wooden structural elements and panels with transparent-drying POINT 95 formulation. The clear finish maintains the natural appearance of wood while creating bonds stronger than the material itself.
Project Planning Guide: Acrylic-Based Adhesives Need
Planning your construction or renovation project requires careful consideration of adhesive needs to ensure optimal results and minimize waste. When estimating POINT acrylic adhesive requirements, consider both the application type and surface area. For panel installations, calculate approximately 1 cartridge per 2-3m² of coverage. Linear applications such as skirting boards, moldings, or decorative trim typically require 1 cartridge for every 10-15 linear meters, depending on bead thickness. For specialized applications like POINT 203 FOLIE&MEMBRANE FIX, factor in additional material for proper sealing of overlaps and junctions. We recommend adding a 10% contingency to your calculations to accommodate uneven surfaces or application adjustments.
Acrylic-based Adhesives: Application Instructions
- Surface Preparation – Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose particles. Light sanding of glossy surfaces creates texture that improves adhesive grip and bond strength.
- Temperature Conditions – Apply in temperatures between +5°C and +30°C for optimal flow and curing. Store adhesive cartridges at room temperature for 12 hours before use in extreme weather.
- Initial Placement – Position elements within 10 minutes of application before skin formation begins. Apply firm pressure across the entire surface to eliminate air pockets and ensure maximum contact.
- Temporary Support – Provide mechanical support during the initial 24-hour curing period for heavy overhead installations. Critical safety applications benefit from temporary bracing until full strength develops.
- Joint Thickness – Maintain adhesive thickness of 2-5mm to allow proper curing and slight movement. Excessively thin or thick applications may compromise strength or extend curing time.
- Excess Removal – Clean uncured adhesive immediately with a damp cloth before setting. Mask adjacent areas with painter’s tape to protect finished surfaces during application.
