Quickbond™ AB2250-FT – A High-Performance, Eco-Friendly Adhesive That Outperforms Industry Standards of the Fast-Tacking Water-Based Adhesive

AIT Chemical, Inc. proudly announces the launch of Quickbond™ AB2250-FT, an innovative water-based contact adhesive engineered for superior performance, fast tack, and quick bond strength build-up. This environmentally safe waterborne adhesive sets a new industry benchmark, offering handling strength in under 60 seconds and final bond strength exceeding 600 psi within an hour—surpassing the industry’s fastest tacking water-based adhesive and even the top solvent-based competitive products.

AIT’s Coral Industries Division Launches One of the Fastest Setting
Waterborne Contact Adhesives on the Market

Designed and manufactured by the Coral Industries Division of AIT Chemical, Quickbond™ AB2250-FT is non-flammable, free of polychloroprene, and contains zero VOCs (per EPA Method 24). Its rapid initial tack, heat resistance, and flexibility make it ideal for manufacturing and field installation.

Proven Performance Meets Production Efficiency

Rapid initial build-up of holding strength allows for efficient field installation and increased productivity. AIT Quickbond™ demonstrates not only the fastest strength build-up but also significantly stronger bond strength in comparison to the known industry’s best water-based adhesives. The rate of contact cementing of the assembly parts and the “cured” bond strength of Quickbond™ AB2250-FT match the best of the solvent-borne contact adhesives.

Quickbond™ AB2250-FT delivers a rare combination of speed and strength. Its advanced molecular structure enables:

Initial handling strength in <60 seconds
Bond strength over 600 psi within 60 minutes
One-surface application for faster processing

Unlike traditional water-based adhesives, it eliminates the need for prolonged clamping or dual-surface coating—drastically improving productivity in manufacturing and construction settings.

“Quickbond™ AB2250-FT outpaces conventional water-based and even solvent-based contact adhesives—without compromising safety or flexibility,” said a spokesperson for AIT Chemical.

The high bond strength of AIT Quickbond AB2250-FT and AB2250-HB provides the opportunity for the industry of wood and decorative laminates to particle boards to use water-based adhesive instead of the more traditional Urea-Formaldehyde resins or solvent-borne contact cement. While water-based, the rapid bond strength build-up of Quickbond AB2250-FT eliminates the need for clamping down with the use of the traditional PVA-type water-based adhesive.

Engineered Options for Specific Needs

AIT also offers two complementary formulations:

Quickbond™ AB2350-HB – Provides extended open time (30 seconds to 5 minutes) for complex assemblies, while maintaining the same high bond strength.
Quickbond™ AB2150-FLEX – Designed for extreme cold flexibility, ideal for freezing or low-temperature applications, with a lowered glass transition point similar to rubber cement.

Versatile Bonding Across a Wide Range of Materials

With nearly 50% solids, Quickbond™ AB2250-FT offers more than three times the coverage of traditional solvent-based adhesives.

AIT Quickbond AB2250-FT, AB2350-HB, and AB2150-FLEX provide installation and production versatility, and bond strength, coupling with low temperature flexibility for rigid wood panel laminates to flexible foam layering. The rapid bond strength buildup matches that of the solvent-borne contact adhesive for productivity and water-based healthy user friendliness, even in indoor installation. They are ideal for field installation beyond a factory floor production environment.

It reliably bonds to:

Flexible foams, felt, fabric, canvas
Wood, plywood, particleboard, veneer
Plastics, fiberglass, metal, and vinyl
Cork, fiberglass insulation, thermoplastic elastomers, and more

It is designed to meet the GREENGUARD® Product Emission Standard for Children and Schools, ensuring safe indoor air quality.

Flexible Application Methods

Quickbond™ AB2250-FT can be applied via spray, brush, or roller, and in most cases requires only a single coat. For porous materials, additional coats can be applied once the first layer is dry to the touch. A minimum of 80% surface coverage is sufficient for strong adhesion.

Ideal for Industrial and On-Site Applications

Common uses include:

Foam molding and layering
Architectural and decorative paneling
Laminate bonding to wood or particleboard
Acoustic insulation installation
Pipe insulation and heat-resistant applications

The fast-bonding strength makes it an ideal replacement for solvent adhesives and traditional PVA glues-without the need for clamping.
