FF867C Insulation Adhesive Product Description FF867C Insulation Adhesive is a moisture-curing polyurethane (MCPU) canister adhesive which allows you to apply insulation adhesive precisely and quickly. It is a solvent free, non-flammable pressurised canister system, which is suitable for the professional bonding of a wide range of insulation boards to a VCL or straight to a deck.

Minimises time onsite: precise, fast and professional application FF867C Insulation Adhesive allows you to minimise time onsite; it is five times faster to apply than a standard hand poured bead applied MCPU adhesive due to the pressurised canister system. FF867C Insulation Adhesive covers up to one square metre of insulation board in as little as 2 to 3 seconds, whereas it can take up to 10 seconds with a standard adhesive. The pressurised canister system also ensures a more precise and professional application. FF867C Insulation Adhesive cures much faster than a standard adhesive; in as little as 15 minutes in comparison to 30 minutes.
Reduces onsite cost: controlled bead size, eliminates wastage and economical coverage Fatra understands that overall ‘onsite cost’ is a key concern, especially given the current economic climate. FF867C Insulation Adhesive has been developed with this in mind. The pressurised canister system not only enables you to apply adhesive quickly, it ensures a controlled bead size is laid down, which eliminates wastage. It has an economical coverage rate; in ideal conditions a coverage rate of between 150m² to 200m² should be achieved*. Minimal adhesive is required to ensure a strong bond because FF867C Insulation Adhesive is a one-way stick product.

Ensures a smooth finish: high-grab controlled-foaming adhesive Some insulation adhesives developed to compensate for uneven roof deck can cause the insulation board to rise, which can lead to the costly and timely re-work of the roof. FF867C Insulation Adhesive foams sufficiently to compensate for undulations, whilst its adhesive properties ensure that the insulation board stays flat / even. It foams and rises immediately to allow a high grab of the board, but it does not continue to rise once the board has been laid. This reduces the need for continual consolidation and re-work.
Benefits for onsite / storage: multipurpose solvent-free non-flammable system FF867C Insulation Adhesive allows you to reduce the number of different insulation adhesives required. It is compatible with a variety of insulation boards, including EPS, XPS and PIR (tissue and foil-faced) because it is a solvent free system. Unlike many other canisters on the market, FF867C Insulation Adhesive also contains non-flammable gas, which has benefits for use onsite and storage (ADR regulations).

Minimises back pain: reduces bending and stooping due to 3m hose / applicator Back pain is a common complaint of contractors, and it is often caused by bending and stooping to apply roller applied or bead applied adhesives. Such actions can cause labour fatigue, which is not only incredibly uncomfortable and unpleasant for contractors, but it can have a detrimental impact on their performance. Consequently, this can increase the amount of time it takes to complete projects and result in poor quality work. Repetitive bending and stooping can also cause long-term back problems. FF867C Insulation Adhesive eliminates repetitive bending and stooping because it is applied via a 3m hose / applicator, which allows you to lay insulation quickly and safely. It is also simple to carry onsite due to the handles featured on the outer packaging.

Guidelines for Use: FF867C Insulation Adhesive is compatible with a variety of insulation boards, including EPS, XPS and PIR (tissue and foil-faced).
Please note: there is no spray tip required for FF867C Insulation Adhesive
1. Ensure the insulation board or other roof substrate is dry and clean from grease, dirt and other contaminants before applying adhesive. 2. Set the canister up as described in the ‘Set-Up and Maintenance Guide’. 3. Ensure the FF867C canister is applying a bead of adhesive approximately 20mm to 40mm wide. 4. Apply beads at 300mm centres to VCL / deck or in compliance with wind uplift calculations. (150mm centres for perimeter boards) 5. Place the insulation board directly into FF867C Insulation Adhesive 6. Apply pressure to the insulation board to ensure full contact with FF867C Insulation Adhesive 7. Allow to cure before weatherproofing the insulation board.
FF867C Insulation Adhesive is supplied in a 450mm x 330mm cardboard carry box. Other components required and supplied separately include: applicator (gun and 3m hose), solvent cleaner and canister flushing System.
Coverage Each canister can cover between 150m² to 200m².
Coverage rates are dependent on a range of variables including temperature,
substrate,
insulation

Set-Up and Maintenance Guide Canister Set-up Guide NB: It is important to set-up your FF867C canister correctly before use to ensure the best possible performance and to avoid leakage or system failure.
1. Remove the black cap from the canister valve. 2. Attach the braided hose to the canister valve (using the small nut). Tighten with a spanner (see image 1). 3. Attach the other end of the braided hose to the spray gun (using the large nut). Tighten with a spanner (see image 2).

Maintenance Guide: Maintaining your FF867C Insulation Adhesive
1. Once work has been completed, ensure the valve on the canister remains open (see image 4). Failure to do this may cause the adhesive to block the hose. 2. Turn the gun applicator off by turning the black valve clockwise until it is fully closed. 3. Clean the end of the gun applicator with FF860 Solvent Cleaner using a nylon brush to ensure that the aperture is clear. 4. Once the canister in use is empty, the gun applicator can be transferred to a new canister.

1. Ensure the valve on the canister is completely turned off before attaching the assembly. Unscrew the hose from the canister valve. 2. Attach the assembly to the valve. Ensure the assembly remains upright whilst you tighten the nut (see image 6). 3. Attach the hose to the assembly. Ensure the assembly remains upright whilst you tighten the hose. 4. Check the tap on the assembly is off before applying the Cleaning Aerosol.

5. Screw the Cleaning Aerosol into the adaptor (see image 7). Turn the tap on the assembly to the ‘on’ position to release the Cleaning Aerosol into the hose (see image 8). 6. Aiming the gun into a waste container, apply pressure to the trigger on the gun to push the Cleaning Aerosol through the hose and gun until the adhesive starts to disperse. Keep pressure on the trigger until the hose and gun are thoroughly cleaned (see image 9).

Emptying and Disposing of Your Canister Safely Guidelines on how to empty and dispose of your FF867C Insulation Adhesive canister
1. The FF87C canister contains compressed gas. It should be emptied by carefully opening the valve, which will release any excess adhesive and / or pressure (see image 10). 2. Allow any excess adhesive and / or pressure to fully escape into a suitable container. Leave the valve open. 3. Once the canister is empty, the circular disk can be pierced using a non-ferrous bar / rod. Allow any remaining adhesive to cure. The empty depressurised canister should be disposed / recycled in accordance to site regulations. 4. Information on storing canisters can be found on the following websites: www.bama.co.uk/transport-storage/ and www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/hsg71.pdf
