Advantage 425

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Advantage 425 is a highly water-resistant, 2-part crosslinking polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesive developed for finger jointing. When mixed with Aluminum Chloride (Catalyst A) the product surpassed ASTM D-5572 wet-use finger joint standard. This standard is the basis for Hallmark Certification on glued finger joints. Like all adhesives, proper gluing practices are needed to achieve stated performance.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

The normal recommended portion of catalyst to resin is five percent by volume (one quart to five gallons).
Place the resin in mixer and slowly add catalyst under agitation. Continue mixing for five minutes after all the catalyst has been added to ensure a uniform mixture.

APPLICATION GUIDELINES

Finger Joints: Sufficient adhesive spread will provide a uniform coverage that should cover 1/2-2/3 the length of the finger on both sides in a thin continuous film. Make sure fingers aren't skipped and that the adhesive is applied to the whole joint, not just the tips of the fingers. For additional questions, Franklin’s Technical Service is available.
