TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

FEVICOL MARINE
FOR INFORMATION ONLY

Fevicol Marine is our premium quality synthetic resin based adhesive suitable for
wood work. It is technologically superior product in its class, providing very high
water resistance and excellent bonding even on marine – grade plywood after
optimum curing. Because of its very high resin content and special formulation, it
offers much better durability to furniture being used in high humidity areas.

TYPICAL PROPERTIES
 Appearance Milky white emulsion
 Viscosity at 30 °C, Poise 250 to 325
(By B.F. RVT Spindle-5, RPM – 5)
 pH 3.0 to 5.0
 Specific Gravity 1.05 to 1.09
 Flow Continuous
 Spreadability Smooth and easy

FIELD OF APPLICATION
Furniture Industries
 Bonding laminate, plywood, veneer, particleboard, MDF, block board, hard
board to each other.
Non-furniture Industries
 Bus body building where wood is used
 Wooden cabinet for Television and Radio, wooden framing of wall clock
APPLICATION METHOD
 Surfaces to be bonded should be free from oil; grease; dust and dirt and should
be dry and properly leveled.
 For best results, roughen the surfaces to be bonded.
  Stir content of container before use.
 Apply even coats of Fevicol Marine first on comparatively non-porous surface,
and then on porous surface for e.g. apply first on laminate and then on ply
wood.
 If possible, application should be such that, it should be lengthwise on one
surface and breadth-wise on other surface. This will help in proper and
uniform spreading of adhesive while pressing.
 Before allowing adhesive to dry, and bring both the surfaces in contact
together, make proper alignment, and start pressing from one side by using
wet squeezed cloth to avoid bubbles, and ensuring uniform contact.
 Please note that Fevicol Marine starts to dry quickly. Position the substrates
within 5 – 6 minutes. Repositioning should be done if required within a minute
of joining.
 Pressure can be given by using nails; clamps; weight; masking tape etc.
 Excess adhesive; which oozes out from edges should be wiped off with wet
squeezed cloth.
 To get best results, bonded surfaces are to be kept under pressure for 24 hrs.
 If required, pressure can be released after 4-6 hrs and the bonded assembly
can be put to use.
 In case of highly porous surfaces like particleboard and MDF, it is advised that,
a thin coat of Fevicol Marine is applied by pressure on the surface and allowed
to dry. This will fill the pores of the surface. After drying, light sanding is to be
done for getting smooth leveled surface and then this surface is bonded as per
the method shown above.
ADVANTAGES
 Solvent free, Non-hazardous, Non-flammable, No fire hazards.
 Free from offensive smell.
 If required it can be diluted with clean water till applicability is achieved.
 Very quick setting time. Handling strength is achieved within 4 – 6 hrs of
application.
 Superior flow and spreadability and hence it can give higher coverage.
 Excellent bond strength offering better moisture resistance.
 Heat resistance in normal case
 Can be applied by brush, roller, spreader or any suitable applicator.
 Easy to clean up while wet.
  Excellent film formation.
 Dries clear
