3 THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT GATOR XP HARDSCAPE GLUE
Backed by all the leading paver manufacturers in North America, Gator XP Hardscape Glue is one of the strongest polyurethane adhesives on the market. In this post, we’ll share 3 unique features about this product and explain how they will benefit a hardscape application.
Gator XP Glue is a moisture-cure polyurethane adhesive that’s designed to work with all the components you’d find on a typical hardscape job site:
- Overlays and pool copings
- Steps and wall caps
- Fire pits (up to 400°F or 204°C)
- Concrete pavers and bricks
- Dry and damp surfaces
- Retaining walls
- Natural stones
- Outdoor porcelain tiles
Now let’s talk about some of the features that make Gator XP Glue unique.
1. FAST SETTING
Gator XP Glue is fast setting and permanently bonds materials within 24 hours. However, while working with this product, there’s a fairly long open time and materials can be repositioned up to 30 minutes after applying the glue.
In our Gator XP Glue Spotlight Video, we demonstrate the product’s incredible bonding strength after just 90 minutes. Click here to watch!
MOISTURE-CURE
Because Gator XP Glue is a moisture-cure polyurethane, it’s formulated to cure with ambient water. This means that a little bit of dampness inside a block is actually advantageous and helps to accelerate the cure. A damp paver off the pallet is ready to glue!
It’s important to note that temperature is often a concern when using many different types of hardscape products. If the temperatures are below freezing, the moisture needed to activate a polyurethane adhesive is not available. This is why it’s imperative to work above freezing temperatures when using Gator XP Glue.
FIRE PIT APPROVED
On a bright note, once it’s cured, Gator XP Glue can withstand temperatures of up to 400 degrees! Firepits and fireplace surrounds are ideal applications for this product.
