Product Information Print Version
Description
Siga Contact is a fiber re-enforced VOC free acrylic dry contact cement film adhesive in roll form. It replaces solvent based or water based contact cements in a number of applications. Siga Contact does not pose the fire or explosion risks that are associated with solvent-based contact adhesives. Siga Contact can be used in small confined space, such as in marine cabins or aircraft. Siga Contact has excellent shelf life and does not dry out. It is freeze stable. Siga Contact adheres instantly and saves the 30-45' waiting time associated with liquid contact cements. Siga Contact may be applied off site to the skirting, reducing labor on-site.

Health and Environmental Benfits
Siga Contact does not cause nausea, headaches or skin rashes; it is non allergenic and non-carcinogenic. Siga Contact adhesive is VOC free, free of solvents, odors, formaldehyde and chlorine and is environmentally friendly. There are no restrictions to waste disposal.

Applications
  1. Siga Contact® was designed for carpet skirting. The contact cement film may be applied manually or with greater speed and accuracy with the Siga Contacter applicator to the carpet cove base. Apply sufficient pressure to bond the contact film to the carpet base. The Contacter may be placed directly behind a binding machine. Suitable wall surfaces are drywall, brickwork, concrete, ceramic surfaces, wall paper, vinyl wall coverings, positive or negative plaster patterns and firm, flake free paint. Suitable carpet backings are synthetic ActionBac®, jute, woven or non-woven backings, Enhancer back, smooth or embossed SBR foam and synthetic Unibond backings. Remove the release paper, apply the skirting to the wall and hit with a rubber mallet.
  2. Siga Contact® and TSC Promont® are being used successfully (but at user's risk) to flash cove and subsequently heat weld the seams of homogeneous vinyl. Several health care facilities now specify the use of dry contact cement tape for this application to prevent odors and solvents from contaminating the air circulation. Some manufacturers of homogeneouos vinyl or vinyl safety floors also specify Siga Contact film tapes for heat-welded seams.
Limitations
Siga Contact dry contact cement is not suitable for extruded PVC skirting (shrinkage) or for Teflon or silicone stain repellent surfaces. It is not suitable for Urethane backings.
