Carlisle 308585A Booth-tack Water-based Insulation Adhesive 5 Gallon Pail

Product Description

The Carlisle 308585A Booth-Tack is a quick-tack, nonflammable, water-based insulation adhesive designed for spray booth applications in HVAC duct fabrication and insulation work. This synthetic latex adhesive is engineered for situations where duct insulation must be held in place quickly before an insulation fastener is applied, or where duct sections are stored horizontally while the adhesive cures. HVAC contractors, sheet metal fabricators, and insulation installers rely on Booth-Tack for its reliable bond, fast dry time, and ease of application in controlled shop environments. The adhesive delivers high bond strength with a low viscosity formula, meaning it sprays evenly and covers large surface areas efficiently. Each 5 gallon pail provides coverage of up to 530 square feet per gallon when sprayed, making it a cost-effective solution for high-volume insulation jobs. Dry time is approximately 20 minutes, allowing crews to move through fabrication steps without long delays. The formula contains 53 percent solids content plus or minus 2 percent, and its viscosity ranges from 8,500 to 9,500 cps, which supports consistent spray application without clogging equipment. Because Booth-Tack is water-based and nonflammable, it is safe for use in enclosed spray booth environments and complies with SCAQMD Rule 1168 for low VOC adhesives. It is also LEED compliant and has received City of Los Angeles Approval RR 8069. The adhesive meets ASTM C916 and ASTM E84 standards and is UL 723 Listed, satisfying the compliance requirements that commercial and industrial HVAC projects commonly demand. Application temperature ranges from 35 degrees F to 110 degrees F, and the product maintains performance at service temperatures from -20 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Shelf life is one year unopened when stored within the recommended temperature range.
