Wherever you’re working or whatever you’re bonding, it’s highly likely you’ve experienced the world-famous tenacity of TensorGrip Joinery Adhesives. Thousands of joiners and fabricators throughout the world turn to us for our raw sticking power - but how do we do it? In the latest blog from TensorGrip Joinery, we lift the lid on our adhesives, sharing some of the sticky secret’s inside. Shhh… the secret’s in the spray!

Here at TensorGrip, we’ve been creating lifetime bonds for years. In all that time, we’ve developed an industry-leading reputation for reliability, efficiency and superior adhesion in the world of adhesives. We’ve got there by pioneering an evolution in bonding, helping our customers ditch their ancient roller brush & buckets for something more powerful.

The Secrets Behind the Spray Adhesive Revolution

TensorGrip Joinery Adhesives bring spray results to dizzy new heights. The secret behind the success of our solutions is inside the system itself: from the unique features inside the canister to the innovative gun and the variety of spray patterns it produces. Let’s take a look at the magic inside…

Say Hello to Joinery’s Top Gun

Let’s start by taking a look at the spray gun - a crucial element of the TensorGrip system, which all customers can get as part of the FREE Quin Global Kick-Off Kit on their first purchase of a 22L Canister. Built for convenience and designed for accuracy, this tool is composed of four elements and is well and truly joinery’s top gun…

• The Adjustment Wheel: The adjustment wheel puts YOU in control of adhesive flow. You can control the flow by turning anti-clockwise to open and clockwise to close. 

 

• The Hose Connection: Durable, flexible and sure to stand the test of time, the hose connection connects the gun to the canister itself. Nifty!

 

• The Nozzle: Our nozzle is a game changer. It is fully changeable, letting you optimise spray performance via a variety of patterns - we’ll get onto that later!

 

• The Trigger: You’re one squeeze of the trigger away from experiencing the power of our spray adhesives. All you have to do it and out it comes; smoothly, efficiently and effortlessly. 

Inside the ‘Can-Do’ Canister

It might look like a simple canister, but there’s a lot going on inside this 22L container. Including a valve, dip tube and unique adhesive & gas mixture, this ‘can-do’ canister is leagues ahead of its rivals.

• Unique Adhesive & Gas Mixture: We’ve combined decades of experience in adhesive innovation to bring joiners ultimate precision and performance. Our unique adhesive & gas mixture is pressurised and designed to be propelled out of the system as speed. 

 

• The Dip Tube: Here at TensorGrip, we’re passionate about eliminating waste. We’re leading the way in reducing waste with our innovative dip tube, which reaches the bottom of the canister to ensure that EVERY DROP of adhesive is used. 

 

• The Valve: An integral element of the TensorGrip canister, the valve works with the adjustment wheel in the gun to control the flow of adhesive.

Spray Patterns for Superior Performance 

When you spray TensorGrip Joinery Adhesives, what you see is more than just a blast of gas. It’s an acutely designed spray pattern that is fully changeable and designed to yield optimum results across a variety of substrates. Let’s take a look at the spray patterns and how they can transform bonding results:

 

• Web Spray: Designed to mimic the effects of a spider’s web, our innovative web spray pattern is designed to provide ultimate grab with minimal application. The web spray pattern sprays evenly and is ideally suited for difficult-to-reach, deep crevice applications. 

 

• Mist Spray: TensorGrip’s super fine mist spray pattern provides the immediate and strong tack you need to hold light and heavy weight reinforcing fibres in place in the most demanding areas. This pattern deliverts a light, consistent droplet pattern for the smoothest bonding results. 

 

• Pebble Spray: Similarly to our Super Fine Mist Spray pattern, the Pebble Spray pattern is delivered via micro strands which significantly increase the contact area. Applied via larger strand droplets, this pattern guarantees a smooth and consistent pattern on the surface of your substrate. Try it!

 

• Snowflake Spray: Immediately identifiable by the snowflake icon on your canister system, the snowflake pattern is engineered to yield a high-build, large flake pattern which looks like snowflakes across the surface of your substrate. This one is ideal for single-sided bonding.
