INSTA-STIK™ MP Fast Cure wins
CPA accolade
INSTA-STIK™ Multi-Purpose (MP), a polyurethane foam in gun format for dry lining applications, has made it onto the Construction Products
Association (CPA)’s Innovation and Achievement website showcase for 2008.
The product, manufactured by Dow Building Solutions, features in the ‘improvements in site efficiency’ category in the CPA’s annual round up of
products that clearly demonstrate innovation in the construction industry over the last 12 months.
INSTA-STIK™ MP enables the use of polyurethane foam as an adhesive, eliminating the need for water in dry lining applications. It also has a low
expansion formula meaning it can fill small gaps following application without the ‘buckling’ of boards sometimes seen with other materials.
“INSTA-STIK MP is capable of adhering a range of boards to a wide variety of construction surfaces, cutting out the need for drywall adhesive,”
explained Alex Crisp, account manager for Dow Building Solutions. “It’s designed to be as easy to use on construction sites as possible, and can be
applied either horizontally to floors or vertically to walls. Thanks to a strict control trigger and screw mechanism, there’s also less waste.”
Other benefits that Dow Building Solutions points out that the INSTA-STIK MP offers includes:
• No noise and vibration, as well as freedom from solvents and HCFCs.
• Simple handling, with easy cleaning, no dust and fast, accurate application.
• No need for electricity or water, with minimal preparation and clean up allowing finishing trades to complete more quickly.
• Excellent coverage - one 750ml can is equivalent to a 25kg bag of drywall adhesive.
• Good tensile strength with no substrate damage and no thermal bridging or visible fasteners.
