Product catalog summary
Description: PU038 is a solvent-free, two-component polyurethane adhesive primarily used for structural bonding in aluminum windows and doors. It is available in white-beige resin and brown-beige hardener, resulting in a beige cured film.
Packaging: Available in 900 g and 550 g kits, packed 10 kits per box.
Technical Information:
  • Composition: Solvent-free, two-part polyurethane adhesive.
  • Specific Gravity: 1.5
  • Viscosity: Pasty consistency when mixed.
  • Hardness: 85 Shore D
  • Mix Ratio: 1:1 by volume (Resin to Hardener)
  • Minimum Working Temperature: +7°C
  • Contact Pressure: 4 - 6 bar
  • Open Time: About 45 minutes
  • Pot Life: Approximately 60 minutes for 100 g at 20°C
  • Functional Bond Strength: Achieved in about 6 hours at 20°C
  • Cure Time: 75% cure after 24 hours, full cure after 7 days at 20°C and 50% RH
  • Shear Strength: 180 kg/cm² at +20°C for Aluminium/Aluminium, 90 kg/cm² at +80°C for Aluminium/Aluminium, 80 kg/cm² at +80°C for Wood/Wood
  • Temperature Resistance: +230°C for up to 30 minutes, +110°C long term
  • Storage: Store in shaded, dry conditions between +12°C and +25°C
  • Shelf Life: 12 months in original, unopened containers
Application:
  • Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants.
  • Use a static mixing nozzle for homogeneous mixing; discard the first 20 g of mixed adhesive.
  • Full cure is necessary before overpainting.
  • PU038 withstands temperatures up to 230°C for 30 minutes but loses mechanical properties at this temperature.
  • Overpainting can be done with liquid or dry powder coatings, but compatibility tests are recommended.
Accessories: Includes 900 g compressed air gun, 900 g manual gun, and static mixing nozzles (75 per pack).
Cleaning: Remove uncured adhesive with AA290 PU Cleaner or acetone. Hardened adhesive requires mechanical removal.
Notes: Not recommended for natural stone, mirrors, stress-sensitive plastics, or surfaces exposed to water. Contact with bituminous surfaces may cause discoloration.
Health & Safety: Use in well-ventilated areas and wear recommended protective equipment. Refer to the safety data sheet for full precautions.
Guarantee/Warranty: Products applied according to instructions and found defective will be replaced free of charge. No liability for information accuracy.

Usage / Purpose PU038 is mainly used for the structural bonding of corner angles of aluminum windows and doors. Bonded parts can be powder coated afterwards. Key Benefits • Solvent free • Thixotropic - will not drip • Good weather resistance • Easy to apply Protective Equipment USE IN WELL VENTILATED CONDITIONS and ensure all recommended protective equipment is worn during handling & use of this product. For full recommendation, refer to safety data sheet. Surface Preparation • Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from dust, grease and any other substances liable to impair adhesion. • To improve adhesion of PU038, the cleaning of previously painted aluminium surfaces with AA290 PU Cleaner or acetone is recommended. • Pre-treatment of bare aluminium surfaces is also recommended using chromate, phosphate or anodizing.

Two Part Corner Cleat Adhesive Application • Unscrew and remove static mixing nozzle. • Before placing the cartridge into the gun, make sure that the two plastic discs at the end of each part of the cartridge are in place. • These discs allow good distribution of pressure from the gun to the entire surface of the piston. • To ensure a homogeneous mixture, the first 20 g of newly mixed adhesive should be discarded. • The homogeneous mixture is achieved by means of pressing the gun directly to the surface where the adhesive is being applied (see Figure 1). • After application or if there is a long...
