FASTENMASTER FMFLEX40 Hot Melt Glue for HB220 Gun

Fastenmaster has introduced two new hot melt glue options, FMFLEX40 and FMFLEX180, to replace the widely used UX8012 hot melt glue from PAM. Utilizing the HB220 hot melt glue gun, installers can easily establish a robust bond between carpet tack strips or metal clips and finished surfaces such as concrete, fiber cement backer board, or wood, before laying the carpet over the floor.

One of the standout features of FMFLEX40 is its ability to create a strong bond with a remarkably quick setup time of only five minutes. This efficiency significantly boosts the productivity of carpet installers, eliminating the need for them to return the following day or wait several hours for the adhesive to cure fully before proceeding with carpet stretching.

To achieve optimal bond strength and maintain a working window of 40 seconds, FMFLEX40 should be applied at a pre-set temperature of 390 degrees using the HB220 glue gun. For projects requiring a longer working time, FMFLEX180 is an excellent alternative. This variant provides a generous 180 seconds of working time, with a complete bond achieved in just eight minutes.

FMFLEX180 is versatile enough for various applications; it is particularly strong for use with hardwood floor starter and finish rows, interior wood trim, bullnose, T-molding, and much more.

Here are some key features of the HB220 glue gun and its compatible hot melt adhesives: - The HB220 glue gun is designed for effortless operation, making it user-friendly for installers. - FMFLEX40 offers a 40-second open time, allowing ample opportunity for adjustments before the adhesive sets. - The adhesive fully cures in just five minutes, ensuring quick project turnaround. - A single glue stick is sufficient for a four-foot carpet tack strip, providing efficiency and reducing material waste. - Both adhesives are multi-purpose, making them suitable for a variety of applications beyond carpet installation. They are ideal for bonding carpet tack strips to surfaces like concrete, vinyl cove molding, and repairing ceramic or glass wall tiles.

By incorporating FMFLEX40 and FMFLEX180 into their toolkit, carpet installers can achieve high-strength bonds with improved efficiency. These products reflect Fastenmaster's commitment to quality and innovation in the adhesive market. The introduction of these hot melt adhesives enhances the overall installation experience, enabling professionals to work more effectively and confidently across a range of projects.

Overall, Fastenmaster’s FMFLEX40 and FMFLEX180 represent modern solutions that address both performance and usability, making them essential additions to any carpet installation project. The improvements in bond strength and working time provided by these adhesives clearly demonstrate Fastenmaster's dedication to supporting installers and ensuring their success.
