Detailed Product Description:

Casein 8580 by National Casein is a cold press adhesive specially formulated

for flush doors and panel-to-frame bonding.  Casein 8580 meets the demand

for an adhesive that combines the fast-set feature of ready-to-use adhesives,

with the gap-filling characteristics of caseins, along with the “bite-in” qualities

needed to bond hardboard and birch, and with water resistance approaching

that of plastic resin adhesives.   

This adhesive comes as a non-dusting powder that, when mixed with water,

provides a smooth, white, creamy adhesive that cleans up with water.

Key Features:

• Cold press cure in 20-40 minutes at 75°F

• Gap filling

• Working life = 4 hours

• Assembly (open) time 12-20 minutes at 65-80°F

• Low minimum temperature

• Environmentally friendly

• Safe to use

Application Notes:

Intended for interior use with good water resistance.  Dries to a translucent

appearance.
