Notes Personal protective equipment shall be worn when handling this material. Do not use on glass fiber insulation, glass cloth, or on aluminum. If insulation system is allowed to become damp, this material will effervesce and damage aluminum and water emulsion finishes. See

SES N01-F10 for metal substrate protection required.

Personal protective equipment shall be worn when mixing or handling this material. Remove all organic coatings from surfaces to which this adhesive is to be

applied. If insulation system is allowed to become damp, this material will effervesce and damage aluminum and water emulsion finishes. See

Remove all organic coatings from surfaces to which fibrous adhesive is to be applied. If

insulation system is allowed to become damp, this material will effervesce and damage aluminum and water emulsion finishes. Avoid skin contact when handling this material. Use trowel grade to adhere woven cloths to calcium silicate insulation. Use trowel or brush grade to adhere calcium silicate to itself. Use trowel grade only to adhere perlite silicate to itself. See SES N01-F10 for metal substrate protection required. Not recommended for use on fiberglass cloth, fiberglass insulation, or
