GREENCHOICE FAST GRAB FHP ADHESIVE
Titebond GREENchoice Fast Grab FRP Construction Adhesive is a professional- strength LEED v4 Compliant adhesive specifically formulated for the installation of FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) panels over most porous surfaces. Its fast grab and bonding power greatly reduce the need for extended bracing. We have also added a custom design adhesive application tool to our cartridge. It allows for easy, proper application of the adhesive with the convenience of a cartridge and the full coverage of a trowel.
Features & Benefits

Application Guidelines
Application Temperature: Over 50°F and below 90°F for adhesive and
substrates.
Service Temperature Range: 0°F to 120°F
Working Time: 20 minutes at 70°F.
Prep: Surfaces must be dry and free of any material that may deter
adhesion, including severe and thick amounts of drywall joint compound. Patch
holes and depressions and remove any bumps or high spots, dust, oil, and
grease. Concrete surfaces must be well cured and completely dry.
Application: Cut and pre-fit all panels. Lay fiberglass panels flat and
let them acclimate to room temperature 24 hours before installing. Note: Do
not use when temperature, adhesive or materials are below 50°F.
For application from Pail : SPREAD ADHESIVE OVER ENTIRE BACK OF PANEL,
USING AV-NOTCH TROWEL WITH NOTCHES 3/16″ WIDE X 1/4″ DEEP AND SPACED 1/2″
CENTER TO CENTER (SEE DIAGRAM). Keep trowel notches clean and free of
adhesive build-up to insure proper application. Immediately place panel
against surface and press firmly over entire surface, working from the edge of
the panel where molding is installed outwards to the open edge. Using a roller
over the entire installed wall panel is also recommended.
For application with 28 oz. cartridge: Remove adhesive applicator on top
of cartridge. Cut nub of cartridge at first ridge evenly, and then screw
adhesive applicator back on cartridge. Use the guides on back of applicator to
help you hold the tool at the proper angle for spreading. Spread adhesive over
entire back of panel using applicator within 20 minutes at 70°F (shorter for
warmer temperatures). Keep adhesive applicator clean and free of adhesive
build-up to insure proper application. Immediately place panel against surface
and press firmly over entire surface, working from the edge of the panel where
molding is installed outwards to the open edge. Using a roller over the entire
installed wall panel is also recommended.
Note: Bracing may be required if walls or panels are not flat. Panels
used in conjunction with channels moldings should NOT fit tightly into the
moldings. Leave a small area in the molding for expansion and follow panel
manufacturer’s recommendations. Any holes drilled through the FRP for
fasteners, pipes or conduits should be oversized to allow for natural movement
of the panel. When installing FRP panels over below grade concrete or block
walls where moisture can penetrate from the back, attach furring strips with
mechanical fasteners and Titebond Fast Set Polyurethane or Titebond Heavy Duty
Construction Adhesive and then adhere a solid backing to the furring strips.
Spread no more adhesive than can be installed in 20 minutes or less.
Cleanup: Tools and adhesive may be cleaned with water while the adhesive
is wet. If dried, tools and adhesive may be cleaned with water/acetone/vinegar
mixture. Follow solvent vendor’s precautions.

Limitations
Do not bond two non-porous substrates together such as FRP, metal, plastic,
foam board, sealed concrete, fiberglass face or mold resistant gypsum
wallboard or any other non porous surfaces.
For installations bonding two non-porous substrates together use Titebond
GREENchoice Advanced Polymer Panel Adhesive. For installations over treated
plywood use Titebond Solvent Based FRP Adhesive or GREENchoice Advanced
Polymer Panel Adhesive. The optimal trowel for best overall performance and
coverage is av-notch trowel, 3/16″ wide x 1/4″ deep, spaced 1/2″ c.c. Trowels
using dimensions other than the optimal size can be used, but they may affect
working time and coverage. For additional trowel recommendations, please
