| Basic Use |
| CA3200 bonds to most common building materials including: wood, plaster, concrete and masonry. It also bonds well to aluminum, galvanized and cold-rolled steel.
CA3200 can be used to install prefinished paneling, drywall, core base, tileboard, trim and acoustical panels, corkboard and foamboard. |
 |
| Shelf Life |
| CA3200 has a shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacture when stored at temperatures from 40°F to 90°F. Expiration date is stamped into each tube. |
|
| Limitations |
| Hilti CA3200 is not recommended for subfloor applications. |

| 6.4.3.4 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |
 |
|
|
| Place adhesive cartridge into standard one
quart dispenser, then cut the tip of the cartridge nozzle at a slant to the desired bead diameter.
Puncture inner seal with nail or wire and apply adhesive in a
continuous bead to furring strips or studs and top and bottom plates.
Material to be adhered should be partially nailed or braced to aid alignment during
installation. For laminating, use a zig zag pattern.
When used for installing paneling,
all panels should be measured and prefit, and cutouts for switches and outlets
completed before applying adhesive.
To speed bond development,
materials should be pressed into position, then removed for one minute and repressed.
Apply only as much CA3200 as can be covered in 15 minutes.
For best results, store at room temperature and use entire contents of tube once it has been opened. |
|
| Surface Preparation |
| All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from all contaminants such as oil and grease. |
|
| For Bonding Foam Products--Foam Installations: |
| If adhering directly to wall,
grind off excessive mortar and other high areas from wall surface. For polystyrene foam,
apply a maximum 1/4" bead of adhesive. For urethane foam, apply a maximum 3/8" bead.
Press foam panel firmly against adhesive to make transfer, then partially pull out panel
for two to three minutes to release solvents which can weaken or etch certain foams by continual
contact. Gap should not exceed 1/16" after repressing panel in place.
When bonding polystyrene foam,
surface temperatures should not exceed 90°F. Excessive adhesive thickness
may cause significant etching of foamboard. |
|
| Cleaning |
| Tools and excess adhesive should be cleaned with mineral spirits. |
