EVOSTIK-528 (500-ml-Can)

EVO-STIK 528 Contact Adhesive

Overview

EVO-STIK 528 Contact Adhesive is a general-purpose polychloroprene contact adhesive designed for interior bonding applications and protected exterior installations. Featuring high initial grab, excellent final bond strength, and strong shear performance, it is suitable for bonding a wide variety of materials including laminates, wood, rigid PVC, leather, metal, cork, and dense fabrics. The improved toluene-free formulation offers lower odor levels and enhanced usability while maintaining reliable adhesive performance.

Material Engineering & Design Features

EVO-STIK 528 is formulated using polychloroprene rubber technology to provide a balance of immediate tack and long-term bond strength. The adhesive forms a strong contact bond once coated surfaces are allowed to become touch dry and are then brought together under pressure.

The adhesive is suitable for bonding:

• Decorative laminates (including Formica®)
• Rigid PVC
• Wood and timber products
• Chipboard and hardboard
• Cork materials
• Leather
• Certain rubber materials
• Stone
• Metal
• Dense firm fabrics

The formulation is not suitable for:

• Expanded polystyrene
• Plasticized PVC (vinyl)
• Polyethylene (PE)
• Polypropylene (PP)
• Bituminous surfaces
• Cellulose-painted surfaces

Installation & Handling

• Ensure all bonding surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust and grease
• Roughen smooth or polished surfaces before application
• Apply an even ribbed coating to both surfaces using a serrated spreader
• Allow adhesive films to become touch dry before assembly
• Typical touch dry times:
  • Porous surfaces: 10-15 minutes
  • Non-porous surfaces: 10-20 minutes
• Join surfaces within 45 minutes of adhesive application
• Apply firm pressure across the entire bond area
• Use a roller or press where appropriate for improved contact
• Allow 24-48 hours to achieve maximum bond strength

Environmental & Compliance Notes

• Store in original unopened packaging
• Recommended storage temperature: +5°C to +25°C
• Shelf Life: Up to 12 months under recommended storage conditions
• For interior use or protected exterior applications only
• Avoid exposure to direct weathering including rain and prolonged sunlight
• Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use
