Bona Vertical Construction Adhesive

Product Description

Bona VERTICAL™ has an extremely high initial bonding strength and rapid setting formulation.
It is perfect for horizontal and vertical applications. The bonding process can be accelerated by
lightly misting substrate prior to application, and/or lightly misting the adhesive once applied.

• Rapid set – within a few minutes!
• Great for trim, starter rows, treads, risers, vertical applications, and wall treatments
• 300% improved Green Grab, better vertical adhesion without slump or use of fasteners!
• 10%+ improved sheer strength
• GREENGUARD Gold & zero VOCs
• Addition of multiple substrates including PVC, LVT metal, acrylic paints

ACCLIMATION AND SITE CONDITIONS
Bona VERTICAL™ is best applied between 50ºF and 80ºF.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Substrate must be clean, smooth, dry, free of loose material and structurally sound, with the surface slightly textured for best adhesion. Remove adhesive residue, paint, concrete curing compounds or other contaminants that may affect adhesive bond. If applicable, substrates must meet the requirements of local codes and practices.

PRODUCT LIMITATIONS
On vertical surfaces, the use of mechanical fasteners may be necessary to facilitate adhesive capabilities until the final cure strength is achieved. Bona VERTICAL™ is not to be used as a structural / load bearing adhesive. For interior use only.

APPLICATION
Bona VERTICAL™ needs to be applied using a standard 10 oz. caulking applicator.

1. Cut end of tube above threads to expose adhesive.

2. Attached supplied applicator tip to threaded end of Bona VERTICAL™ tube.

3. Remove threaded cap and cut applicator tip to desired bead size.

4. Apply sufficient material to the surface or surfaces being bonded. Open time for Bona VERTICAL™ is 10 minutes. NOTE: For heavier applications, especially on vertical surfaces, the use of mechanical fasteners or temporary support may be necessary until bonding strength is achieved. If additional bond strength is needed, lightly misting the substrate surface or the applied adhesive with water will accelerate the initial bonding strength. The addition of water will decrease the open time to 5 minutes.

5. Position material to substrate as desired.

6. Save any remaining materials by attaching provided cap. NOTE: If Bona VERTICAL™ tube is to be sealed for later use, be sure to cut the applicator tip beyond the cap threads.

CLEAN-UP
Wet Bona VERTICAL™ can be cleaned up with mineral spirits. Once dried, mechanical cleaning may be necessary.

STORAGE
Store in a climate-controlled environment. Keep from freezing. Do not store for extended periods above 90°F(32°C).
