Epoxite AquaSet M90

Phenol-Formaldehyde Powder Adhesive for Marine & Water-Resistant Bonding

Product Overview

Epoxite AquaSet M90 is a phenyl-formaldehyde-based powder adhesive developed for marine-grade plywood bonding, waterproof joinery, and submerged applications. It activates with hot water (~90°C) to form a viscous adhesive paste that sets into a highly durable, moisture-resistant bond capable of withstanding prolonged exposure to humid, wet, or underwater environments.

Formulated from premium thermosetting resin chemistry, AquaSet M90 delivers superior bond strength, boil-proof durability, and dimensional stability, making it ideal for manufacturers of marine plywood, structural wooden components, and moisture-exposed installations.

Color: Reddish-brown paste after mixing with hot water.

Key Features

• Hot water-activated – mix only when needed

• Excellent waterproofing and boiling water resistance

• High bond strength for structural wood bonding

• Powder form – long shelf life and easy transport

• Ideal for industrial and marine plywood production

Typical Applications

• Marine-grade plywood manufacturing (WBP grade)

• Boat interiors, decks, and submerged wood bonding

• Water-resistant door and window joinery

• Adhesive for curved or laminated wood structures

Mixing Ratio

100:60 to 100:70 by weight (Powder: Hot Water)

Mixed viscosity: 8,000–10,000 cP

Processing & Application Guidelines

Surface Preparation: Ensure all bonding surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants like dust, oil, or grease.

Mixing Instructions:

• Heat clean water to approximately 90°C.

• Gradually add 60–70 parts hot water to 100 parts adhesive powder while stirring.

• Mix thoroughly until a uniform, lump-free paste is achieved.

• Use immediately after mixing.

Application: Apply the adhesive using a roller, brush, or trowel. Clamp or press the bonded components firmly.

Curing: Heat press or ambient curing depending on production process. Full cure is typically achieved during the plywood pressing cycle.
