 APPLICATION GUIDE
FOR
FOSTER ADHESIVE/SEALANT 81-84NH

MATERIAL PREPARATION
DO NOT THIN. Stirring should not be necessary, but if Part A has remained undisturbed for any extended period, stir well. Do not use
sticks or paddles, which could splinter or otherwise contaminate the product.

Containers must be kept closed and in dry storage when not in use. Blend only the amount of material, which can be applied in one
hour. Mixing should be continued for three minutes maximum with a suitable air or electric mixer operating at low speed, until the 81-
84NH is smooth and completely homogeneous. Do not over mix. Do not heat Part A, Part B, or the mixed material. Exposure to
vapors of heated product may be harmful. Heated vapors are potential respiratory and skin sensitizers, and possible eye irritants.
Provide adequate ventilation in enclosed areas.

The 3.4 gallon (12.8 liter) kit is packaged to allow for the full 48 oz (1.4 liter) jug of Part B to be mixed directly in the pail with 3 gallons
(11.4 liters) of Part A.

If Part A and Part B are ordered in separate packaging one 0.5 gallon (1.9 liter) jug of Part B is to be mixed with one 4 gallon (15.1
liter) pail of Part A.

Alternately Part A and Part B may be portioned off and mixed in a separate container in quantities as needed for a one hour working
period. When portioning off maintain the proper mix ratio:

8 Parts A: 1 Part B (By Volume)

9 Parts A: 1 Part B (By Weight)

Replace the cap on unused Part B immediately after use to prevent moisture contamination.

APPLICATION
Apply only to clean dry surfaces. Adhesive/Sealant 81-84NH may be applied to either or both surfaces at the recommended coverage
rate. Surfaces must be bonded within one hour after application of the adhesive. On rough surfaces, a thicker application of 81-84NH
is required as necessary to assure complete contact between the insulation and the substrate. A notched trowel is suggested.

Suggested coverages: Cellular glass block - 20 to 30 sq. ft./gallon (0.49 to 0.74 m2/l). Polyurethane, polystyrene, and
polyisocyanurate rigid board stock – 30-100 sq. ft/gallon (0.74 to 2.45 m2/liter).

CLEAN-UP
Before adhesive cures, clean tools and equipment with chlorinated solvent (non-flammable) or mineral spirits (flammable). Dried 81-
84NH Adhesive/Sealant is extremely difficult to remove.
