Grab Adhesive, Solvent Free COSHH Assessment Form

A three-page COSHH Assessment Form for Solvent-free Grab Adhesive, with some example text reading:

Spillage and environmental:

Mobility: Store upright and ensure the container is tightly closed.

Accidental release: Do not discharge into drains or rivers. Contain the spillage using bunding, then absorb it into dry earth or sand. Use the appropriate method to transfer to a closable, labelled salvage container for disposal.

Solvent-free grab adhesive is a versatile construction adhesive specifically designed for bonding a wide range of materials, particularly in applications where solvent-based adhesives may be undesirable. This is especially relevant in enclosed spaces or when working with materials sensitive to solvents, where chemical emissions could pose health or safety risks. The adhesive is known for its strong, durable, and fast-curing bond, making it ideal for various tasks.

Skirting Boards, Window Sills, and Coving: The adhesive ensures a strong and reliable bond for these decorative trim elements, providing a seamless finish while maintaining structural integrity.

Edge Strips, Carpet Grippers, and Stair Nosings: Their robust bonding capabilities are essential for securely attaching these elements that enhance safety and aesthetics in residential and commercial spaces.

Wall and Floor Boards, Window Frames, and Partitions: The adhesive creates enduring connections for critical structural components, ensuring stability and longevity in construction projects.

Polystyrene, Plasterboard, and Other Lightweight Materials: These are ideal for projects where lightweight materials need to be securely fixed without the risk of sagging or detachment.

Wall Tiles, Floor Tiles, and Panels: Solvent-free grab adhesive is suitable for a variety of surface finishes, providing a reliable grip that withstands everyday wear and moisture exposure.

Fixing Broken Furniture: The adhesive can repair and reinforce damaged furniture pieces, restoring their functionality and appearance.

Solvent-Free Composition: This feature significantly reduces health risks associated with toxic fumes, making it an environmentally friendly choice for indoor use and projects involving sensitive materials.

Strong Initial Grab: The adhesive’s formulation provides a swift and solid bond upon application, minimising the need for additional supports such as braces or clamps, which can streamline the workflow.

Fast Curing Time: The adhesive's rapid drying nature allows for quicker project completions, saving time and facilitating multi-stage building processes.

It adheres effectively to many materials, including wood, metal, glass, plastic, and concrete, providing solutions for diverse construction needs.

The adhesive can accommodate and bridge small gaps, making it particularly useful on uneven surfaces. This enhances its overall applicability in various building contexts.
