PANDUIT
offers high performance adhesive backed mounts and devices for a quick, dependable method of
securing, routing and protecting wires or cables. The adhesive backing provides easy installation and is an alternative
to mechanical fasteners. When properly installed,

Adhesive Backed Mounts and devices offer the advantage
of lower installed cost and high reliability.
Selection of Adhesive
Choose from three types of adhesive systems designed for specific application environments and temperatures: Rubber-based Adhesive
Foam Tape, Acrylic-based Adhesive Foam Tape, or Two-part Epoxy Adhesive. Carefully choosing the correct adhesive and closely following
the recommended installation steps will provide a reliable, long-term bond.
Rubber-Based Adhesive Foam Tape
Rubber-based Adhesive Foam Tape is the best choice for the vast majority of adhesive mount applications, including applications where
powder coated surfaces are being used. This pressure sensitive tape develops its strength extremely fast and can be used in indoor
environments with temperatures ranging from -20°F to 120°F (-29°C to 49°C). Rubber-based Adhesive Foam Tape is the most widely used
and generally recommended foam tape for wire routing applications.
Acrylic-Based Adhesive Foam Tape
Acrylic-based Adhesive Foam Tape is a good choice in applications with prolonged exposure to UV rays or heavy moisture. It is designed
to be used in indoor or outdoor environments where temperatures can vary from -20°F to 180°F (-29°C to 82°C). The
acrylic-based adhesive develops its maximum strength over a longer period of time compared to the rubber-based adhesive. It is
recommended that the mounts dwell eight (8) hours after installation and prior to loading.
Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive
Two-part Epoxy Adhesive is for use in applications where excessive loading is required or where the mounting surface is porous rather
than smooth. This adhesive is formulated specifically for use on
PANDUIT
®
EMS and ASMS mounts in either indoor or outdoor
applications. It is packaged in convenient pre-measured cups to insure the proper ratio of resin and hardener, as well as eliminate waste.

Guideline for Adhesive
The following chart should be used as a guideline for choosing
the best adhesive for common surfaces and chemical resistance.
Since each application has specific requirements,
PANDUIT
recommends that further testing be conducted to determine the
suitability of the adhesive in a specific environment or application.
1. Not recommended for use on copper or brass.
2. Mounts manufactured from outdoor material only. For specific applications, individual testing prior to extensive use is suggested.
3. Depends on concentration, exposure time and chemical composition.
