Bostik MSR Fast Tack

The Simson Marine Special Range is a range of products especially developed for nautical applications.

Product:

MSR Fast Tack is a permanently elastic, one-component, fast curing adhesive based on Silyl Modified Polymer (SMP) with a high green strength and an excellent UV stability and fresh and salt water resistance. MSR Fast lack has been tested and certified to the International Maritime Organisation Fire Test Procedures for Surface Flammability, resolution A.653(16) and has been approved for use in wall, ceiling and floor applications.

Applications:

Bonding applications that require a high initial strength. Clamping can be reduced or left out completely, resulting in higher production speeds.

• Direct bonding of screens and windows (glass, polyacrylate (PMMA) and polycarbonate (PC)) in a nautical environment.
• Bonding of push borders.
• Bonding of deck hatches and portholes.
• Bonding of sheets.
• Bonding of deck fittings.
• Bonding of deck/hull connections.

Features:

• High green strength (internal strength). Reduced or no clamping needed.
  Solvent- and isocyanate free.
• Very good UV-resistance and ageing properties.
• In general good adhesion on several substrates without the use of a primer, e.g. ceramic coated glass,
  PMMA and PC.
• Permanently elastic in an temperature range of -40°C to + 100°C.
  Neutral, odourless and fast curing.
• Paint compatible with most industrial paint- or lacquer systems, both alkyd resin and dispersion based (due to the large scale of different types of industrial paints a paint compatibility test is recommended)
• Paintable after skin forming (wet on wet); this will not influence the curing speed.
• MED Certified by Bureau Veritas: IMO Resolution A.653(16).
• Windows bonded in place using Bostik MSR Fast Tack

Adhesion:

Without the use of a primer, MSR Fast Tack shows good adhesion to dry, grease-free and dust-free surfaces of aluminium, zinc, galvanised steel, copper, brass, stainless steel, most (powder) coated metals, PVC, polyester (GRP), glass and lacquered wood. In case of extreme environmental conditions, like high temperature and/or humidity, the use of Simson Primer M is recommended on metal or other closed surface substrates.

Primer M degreases and activates the surface in one step. In principle MSR Fast Tack has a good adhesion to glass. A primer is not necessary if the glass has a sufficient ceramic edge coating that protects the adhesive-glass interface against UV radiation. If the glass has no ceramic edge coating and no cover/tape shielding the adhesive-glass interface from UV radiation, then Simson Primer G has to be used, this primer protects the bond against UV degradation.
