From the Manufacturer Pam Fastening Technology has introduced a new hot melt adhesive, UX8012 that when used in PAM's HB220 hot melt glue gun can easily create a high strength bond between carpet tack strips or metal clips and finished concrete, fiber cement backer board, or wood prior to the carpet being stetched over a floor. The major advantages in using UX8012 glue with the HB220 gun are strength of the bond and the quick 5- minute set up time of the adhesive. This allows the carpet installer greater productivity by not having to come back the next day or wait hours for the adhesive to fully cure before stretching carpet. The UX8012 must be applied at the pre-set temperature of 390 degrees on the HB220 glue gun in order to achieve maximum bond strength and an open time of 40 seconds.
