GluDown® DB Tacky Adhesive: High-Yield Solution for Waterproofing Applications


 
GluDown® DB Tacky Adhesive is a high-yield, pressure-sensitive adhesive specifically formulated for bonding waterproofing materials such as drainage boards, peel-and-stick membranes, and concrete surfaces. Its formulation ensures an extended open time of approximately 30 minutes, allowing for flexibility during application. The adhesive becomes ready for bonding in about one minute, achieving a tacky state that facilitates an aggressive, instant bond. It is available in 30 lb canisters, each providing coverage of approximately 1,549 square feet when applied at a rate of 2.0 grams per square foot. For optimal results, surfaces should be clean and free from debris before application, and the adhesive should be allowed to flash off until tacky prior to bonding materials. This product is suitable for use in temperatures ranging from 40°F to 100°F.
