SeamLock Pro Acrylic Dripless Seaming Adhesive
- Chemical Family
- Methacrylates
SeamLock Pro is a two-part methacrylate, dripless seaming adhesive designed for the inconspicuous bonding of various substrates, including solid surface (acrylic, polyester and blended products), granite, engineered stone, quartz, marble, cultured marble, glass, sintered stone, porcelain, and various plastics (not low energy surfaces). Combined at a ratio of 10:1, SeamLock Pro has a working time of 8 to 12 minutes and achieves nearly 90 percent of its ultimate strength in 20 to 25 minutes at room temperature curing. SeamLock Pro provides high strength bonds to the above reference surfaces with generally no preparation effort. SeamLock Pro adhesives are UV stable, and will not yellow over time.

- Shelf Life
12 Months. The shelf life of SeamLock Pro is twelve (12) months from the date of manufacture based upon continuous storage at room temperature (77°F or 25°C). Storage of SeamLock Pro adhesives in refrigerated compartments will extend the shelf life even more. Do not store SeamLock Pro adhesive or any other adhesives in a refrigerator which has food or lunch products in them. Be sure to bring SeamLock Pro adhesives to room temperature for 24 hours before use, otherwise longer cure and fixture times may be expected. Long-term storage at temperatures above room temperature will shorten the shelf life of SeamLock Pro adhesives considerably. Storage at temperatures above 100°F or 38°C could shorten the shelf life to less than one month. SeamLock Pro adhesives contain no water, so freezing of the adhesive for short periods is permissible, but is not encouraged.

- Applications
To assure maximum bond strength, surfaces must be mated together within the specified working time, and all clamps affixed within that time. Use sufficient material to ensure that the joint is completely filled when parts are mated and clamped. Avoid over clamping parts, which may cause a dry joint or a joint starved of adhesive. All adhesive application, part positioning, fixturing, and clamping should occur before the working time of the adhesive has expired. After the indicated working time, parts must remain undisturbed until the fixture time is completed. Components bonded, adhesive, and shop temperature can have a significant effect on the work and fixture time of the adhesive. Application of SeamLock Pro adhesive at temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C and 30°C) will ensure proper cure. Temperatures below 65°F (18°C) will slow cure and fixture speed. SeamLock Pro adhesives will still react, but will take longer. Temperatures above 85°F (18°C and 30°C) will increase cure and fixture speeds, and there's a risk that the adhesive will be hardened or too thick to bond materials.. Note : Because of the curing features of SeamLock Pro adhesives, large amounts of heat are generated when large masses of material are mixed at one time. The heat generated by the exotherm resulting from mixing large amounts of adhesive can result in a boiling of the monomer in the adhesive (methyl methacrylate), resulting in the release of trapped air, steam and volatile gasses. To prevent this, use only enough material as needed for use within the working time for the product, and confine the gap or spread out the material to no more than .50 inches.
