Titebond Melamine Glue is designed for bonding wood, particleboard, MDF and other porous substrates to synthetic materials such as melamine, vinyl and HPL as well as metals. It offers a fast initial tack, yet has a longer open time that allows for the accurate alignment of working materials. Titebond Melamine Glue is a water-based adhesive that is nonflammable, has low odor, dries clear and cleans up with water. Its thicker formulation offers fewer runs and drips, making it easier to use and more effective for precise assemblies.		4014 - 16 oz.

	Physical Properties (Typical)		Type Specialized vinyl acetate emulsion Calculated VOC:3.0 g/L State Liquid Weight/gallon 9.1 lbs . Color White Chalk temperature*Approx. 40 °F. Dried film Clear Flashpoint >200 °F. Solids 57% Freeze/thaw stability Unstable Viscosity 12,000 cps pH 4.0 Storage life 12 months in tightly closed containers at 75 °F. *Chalk temperature indicates the lowest recommended temperature at which the glue, air and materials can be during application, to assure a good bond.
	Application Guidelines		Application temperatureAbove 40 °F. Open assembly time5 minutes (70 °F./50%RH) Total assembly time10-15 minutes (70°F./50%RH) Minimum required spreadApproximately 6 mils or 250 square feet per gallon Required clamping pressure Enough to bring joints tightly together (generally,30-80 psi for HPL,100-150 psi for softwoods,125-175 psi for medium woods and 175-250 psi for hardwoods) Methods of application Easily spread with a roller spreader or brush, or may be transferred to plastic bottles for finer gluing applications. Cleanup Damp cloth while glue is wet. Scrape off and sand dried excess.
