When should you use moisture-curing adhesives?
Difficult-to-bond substrates, like metals, and most plastics, except for those containing either polyethylene or polypropylene Materials that are exposed to temperatures greater than 140°, like insulation panels or exterior roofing applications Certain thin, sensitive materials, like sheet metal fascia for stores and some plastic panels (since moisture-curing adhesives won't shrink or distort these surfaces when curing).
Moisture-curing adhesives can be used on anything EXCEPT materials made of polyethylene, polypropylene or a blend of these two materials. To determine if the plastic with which you are working contains either polyethylene or polypropylene, look for the letters PE (polyethylene) or PP (polypropylene) in the recycling symbol on the product.

The label on a moisture-curing adhesive will contain the words "polyurethane," "polyether," "polymer-based technology" or "silicone." (NOTE: This does NOT include siliconized acrylic latex caulking compounds, which are not moisture-curing products.) The label may also contain warning statements such as "May cause skin and respiratory sensitization" or "May cause allergic reaction."
If humidity is extremely low, you can help get the curing process started by wiping a damp cloth or paper towel over the surface of the substrate before you apply the moisture-curing adhesive.
