The Staal Plast Polystyrene Glue is created specifically for use with Active Aqua 2.0 INFINITY Trays and IGE grow trays. This is a premium glue that forms a very strong bond and is ideal for building or fixing hydroponic trays. Using the same type of material (High Impact Polystyrene - HIPS) as the trays, this adhesive creates a watertight bond, enhancing the trays' lifespan and function in hydro systems.
How to Use
Follow these steps to ensure the best results when using the glue. It's easy in the process, but users do need to watch the adhesion.
- The bonding surfaces must be clean of dust, dirt, grease and moisture. This will be the strongest bond.
- The glue should only be used externally at the ends of the tray sections to be joined. Make sure to use just enough glue when assembling, so no excess seeps out.
- The tray sections should be squeezed together after application of the glue to ensure that they are in alignment with each other.
- The bonded joints should then be allowed to air-cure in a well-ventilated area at approximately 68°F (20° C). It takes around 48 to 72 hours for it to cure completely, and users may have to wash in lower temperatures to make it extra-dry.
- Wear protective gloves, a mask, and goggles while using the adhesive to prevent skin, eye, or respiratory contact.
Ideal Uses
This adhesive is ideal for multiple hydroponic tray uses, including:
- New Tray Assembly - The glue is perfect for putting together Active Aqua 2.0 INFINITY or IGE grow trays and making sure the trays are securely connected so the user can have a successful, operational hydroponic system.
- Tray Repairs - If ever a tray gets cracked or breaks, they can be repaired with Staal Plast Polystyrene Glue, allowing for longer longevity and maintaining the usefulness of the tray.
- Custom Modifications - This adhesive can be used to glue trays to have the configuration the user wants or because of the space you need.
Safety and Handling Instructions
Though safe to use when used properly, the Staal Plast Polystyrene Glue should always be used with care.
- Ventilation: Maintain good ventilation in the workplace during application to avoid breathing fumes.
- Protective Gear: Gloves, goggles, and a mask should be worn to protect the skin, eyes, and respiratory system from irritation.
- Proper Storage: The adhesive should be stored in a cool area, away from the heat, portable heaters, vents, and direct sunlight in order to maintain its effective use.
