Selection and Use of Adhesive Mounts

Product Information*

The following descriptions refer to the adhesive mount information chart which follows on the next page.

Part Number: The package code suffix must be added to each part number to determine quantity per

package. Refer to the current catalog or price sheets for suffix designations.

Dimensions: Given are over-all mount with adhesive dimensions; L = Base Length, W = Base Width,

H = Height

Adhesive Type: Refer to the adhesive information section for more details.

Cable Ties:

PANDUIT® mounts are designed to use PANDUIT ® cable ties. The respective size of tie is given.

Maximum Static Load: Values given are for shear and/or normal loading and optimal adhesion between

surfaces.

Normal Service Temperature Range: Given are the continuous use temperature ranges.

Maximum Intermittent Temperature: Given are values for time periods of less than two hours.

Minimum Installation Temperature: Values given are for the substrate temperature and/or ambient

temperature.

Dwell Time: Values given are time to allow mount to set before loading. Dwell time is increased when the

installation temperature is below minimum.

Mount Material: Given for each type of mount.

Screw Hole Size: Values are specified when applicable.

U.L. Recognized: Tested and recognized under the Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc., component recognition

program.

*All product information is recommended values based on results of controlled laboratory tests. For specific applications, individual testing

prior to extensive use is suggested.

Surface Preparation

For best results,

PANDUIT adhesive mounts should be

applied to clean, dry, grease-free surfaces. It is

recommended that for each individual application a

solvent or cleanser be used to thoroughly prepare the

surface for mount installation to obtain best results. The

following are recommended guidelines:

1. For rubber and acrylic based foam tape adhesives,

isopropyl alcohol may be used on most surfaces.

2. For epoxy type adhesives, especially masonry

surfaces, be sure to clean all loose particles away

before mount installation. Some surface abrasion is

recommended to achieve maximum strength. A light

rubbing with medium grit emery cloth or sandpaper

is best. Wash after abrading.

Mount Spacing

To determine the number of mounts to use in a given

application, the following formula can be used as a

guideline:

Cable or weight (lbs./ft.)

Static Load rating of Mount (lbs/mt.)

= Spacing

Mounts

Ft.

(See pages 4-6 for static load rating of mounts)

For specific applications we recommend individual

testing prior to production use.

Proper Installation Techniques

Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Mounts

For proper installation of adhesive mounts with foam tape, simply remove the release liner from foam

adhesive and place the mount in the desired location. Apply firm pressure to the mount to insure proper

adhesion. Avoid touching the adhesive prior to placing the mount on the surface.

Clean surface with a

clean cloth and

isopropyl alcohol.

Allow surface to air dry.

Remove the release

liner, being caeful not

to touch the adhesive.

Apply full thumb

pressure for at least 5

seconds.

Allow mount to

properly dwell.
