Surface Mounting (panels, tiles, decorative elements, fixtures)
Achieve strong adhesion for vertical and overhead mounting applications where mechanical fasteners may be difficult to use. Our high-initial-tack formulations help hold elements in place during positioning, reducing the amount of bracing required while the adhesive begins to set.
Material Bonding (wood, concrete, metal, ceramic, stone, plastic)
Our versatile adhesives create powerful bonds between diverse construction materials, even those with different thermal expansion properties. The elastic bond layer accommodates differential movement between materials, preventing stress cracking and ensuring long-term durability in all weather conditions.
Insulation Installation (mineral wool, stone wool, insulation boards)
Secure insulation materials with continuous adhesive beads that minimize thermal bridging and maximize energy efficiency. The solvent-free formulation of POINT 99 adhesive won’t deteriorate insulation materials and creates an additional air barrier that enhances overall building performance.
Rubber-based Adhesives: Application Instructions
- Prepare the cartridge by cutting the nozzle at a 45-degree angle for desired bead thickness (3-5mm) and piercing the inner seal with your caulking gun’s puncture tool. Allow cold adhesive to reach room temperature for optimal flow.
- Apply adhesive in a continuous zigzag pattern on vertical surfaces, or parallel beads spaced 10-15cm apart for larger panels. Add extra adhesive at corners and high-stress areas for maximum strength.
- Use the “press and release” technique—press materials together immediately after application, then separate for 3-5 minutes to enhance grab strength. Press together again firmly for at least 30 seconds.
- For ceiling installations, apply thicker beads at 7-10cm intervals. Use temporary support for heavier elements during the first 1-2 hours of curing for perfect positioning.
- Adjust application for environmental conditions—add 25-50% more adhesive in cold temperatures (below 10°C), ensure surfaces are dry in high humidity, and avoid application above 35°C.
- Clean uncured adhesive immediately with mineral spirits. Seal partially used cartridges with the provided cap to prevent nozzle hardening between uses.
Rubber-based Adhesives: Advantages of Gun-Applied Application
Precision Control: The gun-delivery system allows for pinpoint accuracy when applying adhesive, even in tight or hard-to-reach spaces. This precision eliminates wasteful over-application and ensures rubber-based adhesive is placed exactly where the strongest bond is required, improving overall project quality.
Consistent Bead Size: The calibrated flow through the application nozzle delivers a consistent amount of adhesive with every squeeze of the trigger. This uniformity ensures optimal coverage and bond strength across the entire project, eliminating weak spots that might occur with irregular hand application methods.
Reduced Waste: Gun-applied systems deliver adhesive directly from the cartridge to the surface without transfer loss or evaporation during application.
Ease of Use: Simple application process for both professionals and DIY users The intuitive gun mechanism requires minimal training and provides comfortable ergonomics for extended use without hand fatigue.
Clean Working: The enclosed cartridge system prevents spills and contamination of the adhesive during application and storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which POINT rubber-based adhesive should I choose for my specific project?
Select POINT 98 for the strongest bond (40 kg/cm²) and all-weather applications. Choose POINT 99 for general-purpose construction with excellent water resistance. Use POINT 96 when a transparent bond is required for visible areas.
What type of caulking gun do I need?
All our POINT adhesives work with standard caulking guns. For the most comfortable experience, we recommend a gun with a smooth pressure mechanism.
How should I prepare surfaces before rubber-based adhesive application?
Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose particles. For optimal adhesion, lightly sand very smooth surfaces.
How long until I can continue working after application?
Initial grab occurs within minutes, allowing for immediate positioning. Handling strength develops within 1-2 hours depending on temperature and humidity. Full cure typically takes 24 hours.
Can these rubber-based adhesives be used in place of mechanical fasteners?
Our adhesives can reduce or eliminate the need for nails and screws in many applications.
