Our Alpha Thixofix contact adhesive is supplied into a 40ml tube. It is able to provide a high-strength bond with just a single application and can be used on a variety of materials commonly found on a caravan or motorhome, including rubber, metal, plastic and wood. Its superior adhesive properties ensure a strong bond that withstands stress and wear, making it perfect for both heavy-duty industrial applications and everyday household repairs.
One of the standout features of Alpha Thixofix Contact Adhesive is its thixotropic nature, meaning it is gel-like at rest but fluid when agitated or stressed. This unique property ensures that the adhesive is easy to apply, spreading evenly and smoothly, while preventing drips and runs. Once applied, it quickly sets to form a robust bond, reducing the need for clamping or sustained pressure.
Once cured, the bond is highly resistant to heat and chemicals, making it an ideal choice for areas subject to harsh conditions or frequent handling. Despite its strength, Alpha Thixofix allows for some flexibility, accommodating minor movements and thermal expansion, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the bond over time.
Prior to using this product, it is important to prepare all surfaces by sanding them lightly and wiping them down with a solvent. Ensure that the surfaces are completely clean, dry, and free of any dust, oil or other impurities. Start by spreading a layer of Thixofix evenly across both surfaces that you plan to join, making sure to fully cover the edges. Allow about 10-15 minutes for the surfaces to be dry to the touch. To check if the adhesive is ready for bonding, gently tap it with your knuckles. Once it is dry enough not to stick to your skin, bring the two surfaces together.
