Core Bonding Compound
Nida-Bond is a specially formulated, polyester based core bedding compound developed by Nida-Core Corporation for hand lay-up and vacuum bagging core installation. Use of premium resins results in high tensile and flexural strength. Its high adhesive strength provides an excellent bond between the core and the laminate. Its is suitable for most coring applications and is compatible with our NidaFoam PU, BalsaLite and Nida-Core, TecnoCore, PVC and SAN foam core materials. Characteristics include: lightweight, non-sagging, and long working time for coverage of large areas. Consult MSDS for additional handling, storing and safety information. NidaBond is available either Pumpable or Trowelable Application Normal application of Nida-Bond CBC on a flat, smooth surface would require about 1/16" per square foot although in certain gap filling applications can be used up to 1/4" thick.Below are coverage rates per gallon and weight per square foot at different thicknesses. |
