GENERAL DESCRIPTION
GF 260 High Strength is a high performance, general-purpose adhesive with a long open time. Once set it forms a tough, but
flexible bond. This very versatile adhesive works particularly well when bonding glass to light gauge metals and metals to ABS
plastics. Also suitable for bonding many plastics, ceramics, aluminium, fibreglass, some hardwoods, paper and board.
GF 213 Laminate is an economical general-purpose adhesive suitable for use on wood, ceramics and some plastics, such as rigid
PVC and polystyrene. It is medium in viscosity and can be used for porous surfaces, such as foams and fabrics.
GF 23 Wood is an assembly grade product with excellent bonding properties and a high level of adhesive strength, suitable for
many assembly applications where both high and low temperature conditions prevail. It is good on most materials, such as wood,
paper, fabric, many plastics and light gauge metals.
GF 14 Carton is a high output packaging adhesive, suitable for use on most paper and board substrates. The low viscosity of this
product helps prevent stringing, improves glue gun output and ensures bonds are made with the minimum gap between surfaces. It
is a versatile packaging adhesive, the low viscosity enables it to be used for small delicate assemblies as well as very high output
applications that require fast adhesive dispensing.
GF 232 General is an economical clear general-purpose adhesive with good adhesion to many surfaces. It has a high viscosity,
which makes it suitable for porous substrates, such as fabrics and foams. It has excellent gap filling and low sag properties.
