- Clean Up
Remove wet adhesive immediately with a clean cloth dampened with mineral spirits, isopropanol or acetone. Cured adhesive is very difficult to remove. Do not apply solvents directly to flooring. Use caution when handling flammable solvents.
- Packaging
HELMIBOND 6522 is available in 1-gallon and 4-gallon pails
- Shelf LIfe
- 1 year in an unopened properly stored containers
- Acclimation
The area to receive wall panels shall be fully enclosed, weather tight, with an installed operating HVAC system. The installation area, wall materials and adhesive must be acclimated at a temperature between 65 – 85°F for 48-hours prior to, during and after installation. The relative humidity of the installation area shall be maintained between 35 - 55%.
- Application
Application Apply adhesive evenly with a 3/16" Square Notch trowel. Hold trowel at a 60° angle. Replace trowels with worn notches. Do not re-notch worn notches. Note: The 3/16" Square Notch trowel recommendation is based on 4' x 8' panels or similar. Alternate trowel notching may be required based on the size, gage and weight of various wall materials. After adhesive has been applied, immediately position wall panel on wall surface. Apply pressure to panel and roll entire panel with a wall roller to ensure adhesive transfer to wall surface. Failure to ensure good transfer of adhesive to wall surface may result in wall panel debonding.
- Freeze Thaw Stability
5 cycles at o°F. If adhesive has frozen, thaw under normal room temperature

- Surface Preparation
HELMIBOND 6522 can be used on porous/absorbent wall surfaces. Wall surface must be smooth and flush. Seam joints shall be filled with appropriate filler intended for use with wall surface. Surface to be covered must be dry, clean and free of any foreign materials such as dirt, dust, grease, loose paint, wall paper, etc. that may prevent a proper bond. A bond test should be conducted to ensure proper adhesion is achieved.
