Special Note

3M™ Fast Tack Water Based Adhesive 1000NF is intended for use in a wide variety of

applications. Coverage and application procedure will vary for each use. User should test for

suitability with their process and performance requirements.

In general, key considerations when using 3M™ Fast Tack Water Based Adhesive 1000NF are:

• Ensure adequate adhesive is applied over the entire area to be bonded. This may mean an

additional coating is required.

• Bonds should be made when the adhesive feels aggressively tacky.

• Apply sufficient pressure to ensure good contact between the surfaces.

*Systems other than those listed can be used with

3M™ Fast Tack Water Based Adhesive 1000NF. Existing

spray equipment can also be adapted. Fluid hoses used previously with solvent-based adhesive or cleaning

compounds must be replaced with new hose. Be sure to follow the equipment

manufacturer’s precautions,

directions for use, and recommendations for such equipment. For additional information, contact your local

representative.

Pressure Pots

Stainless steel pressure pots recommended. Non-stainless may be used with plastic liners if

dip tube and fittings are changed to plastic or stainless steel.

Pumping Equipment

1.5 inch inner diameter (minimum) plastic diaphragm pump with PTFE checks and

diaphragms. All pumps should be short stroked for pump longevity. For additional

information, contact your local representative.

Filter (output)

Typically, 30# mesh is suitable: for example, Graco

#521-264 or equivalent.

Hoses

All fluid hoses should be nylon or polyester lined. Hose fittings should be stainless steel or

plastic. The typical fluid hose length @ 1/4 inch i.d. should be 15 to 25 ft. Use of larger fluid

hose i.d. or lengths less than 15 ft. will result in loss of fluid pressure control. Use of smaller

fluid hose i.d. or lengths greater than 25 ft. can result in product coagulation in the line.

Note: New fluid lines are recommended due to potential incompatibility with other adhesives.

Use only plastic and stainless steel fittings in contact with adhesive. Adhesive is incompatible

with steel, galvanized steel, and cast aluminum parts.
