The new MuleHide TempReady Gun from low-slope roofing manufacturer MuleHide helps take the guesswork out of adhesive application. Included with Helix® MAX Low-Rise Adhesive – Dual Tank, it tells the operator whether the adhesive is at the proper temperature for application, helping ensure optimal performance.
Helix MAX Low-Rise Adhesive is a construction-grade, two-component polyurethane adhesive designed to bond MuleHide insulations and fleece-back single-ply membranes (TPO, PVC or PVC KEE HP) to a variety of substrates. Temperature during application is an important consideration. Proper application temperature is when the material in the tanks is between 70 F and 90 F. The MuleHide TempReady Gun assembly has a built-in sensor that monitors the temperature of the material coming from the tanks. Three LED lights on the back of the gun provide clear visual indication of whether the adhesive is ready to be applied; blue means too cold (below 70F), green signifies an optimal temperature (70 F – 90 F) and red indicates too hot (above 90 F).

The 25-foot assembly is battery-powered. The self-engaging safety helps prevent accidental dispensing of the adhesive; the operator must disengage it to begin applying the product and it re-activates automatically when the trigger is released. The MuleHide TempReady Gun is found in the Part A Box of Helix MAX Low-Rise Adhesive – Dual Tank, along with 10 tank nozzle tips for use in splatter pattern application, 10 tip extension tubes to add for bead application, a wrench to use in attaching the hose assembly to the tanks, and a packet of lithium grease for keeping the O-ring and face of the gun clean during application.
