Non-Flammable Long Tack HVAC Adhesive: Mean Green Long Tack Cylinders MGLT- SC, LC, 200
More Flexibility. Better Margins. Improved Safety.
In the fast-paced world of HVAC fabrication, “speed” is usually king. But when you are wrapping massive duct work, laminating 10-foot sheets of acoustic liner, or training a new apprentice, speed can be your enemy. If your glue dries before the insulation is straight, you are looking at costly rework.
Mean Green Long Tack (MGLT) is the “Forgiving” Solution. We engineered this formula for the jobs that require patience. By modifying the solvent blend to evaporate slower, MGLT creates a “Long Tack” profile with a 4–8 minute open window. This allows your team to spray large surface areas and take their time positioning the liner for a perfect, wrinkle-free fit.
The “Value” Choice for Commercial Shops Not every job needs the lightning-fast speed of our standard Mean Green (MG-LC). MGLT is formulated to be our most affordable non-flammable option. It allows high-volume shops to maintain their “Non-Flammable” safety standards and insurance compliance while significantly lowering their cost-per-pound on materials.
Ideal Applications:
- Large Duct Runs: Spray entire 10+ foot sections without worrying about the leading edge drying out.
- Complex Fittings: Great for radius bends and transitions that require repositioning.
- Training Bench: Perfect for new installers learning the trade who need extra time to get the fit right.
- PRO TIP: Watch Your Tip! Because MGLT is a high-viscosity (thicker) formula designed for affordability and hold, it requires a larger orifice to spray correctly. You MUST use Tip 730116 with your spray gun. Standard tips may cause the adhesive to stream rather than web.

Directions for Non-Flammable Long Tack HVAC Adhesive (MGLT):
Pre-Application Checklist (Safety & Setup)
This section ensures job-site safety and optimal bond strength for the high-viscosity Long Tack formula.
- Ventilation is Mandatory: This product contains chlorinated solvents (Perchloroethylene). Use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area with forced air movement. Consult the SDS for required PPE.
- Surface Preparation: Ensure both surfaces are clean, dry, and completely free of dirt, oil, or mold release agents.
- Temperature Check: Maintain the adhesive and substrate temperature between 60°F-90F for optimal spray pressure and tack development.
- Non-Flammable Safety: Although the mixture is non-flammable, keep the work area clear of ignition sources, heat, and sparks.
Application Procedure (Cylinder Use)
This procedure ensures maximum yield and correct web pattern.
- Hose, Gun & Tip: Attach the hose and spray gun. CRITICAL: You MUST use Tip 730116. Other tips will not handle the thicker flow of the Long Tack formula.
- Maintain Distance: Hold the spray gun nozzle 6–10 inches from the surface.
- Spray Technique: Apply a uniform web coat of Mean Green to both surfaces (contact bond style), ensuring 80-100% coverage. Use a side-to-side sweeping motion to avoid uneven pooling.
- Allow to Tack (Extended Open Time): Wait 4–8 minutes. Do not rush this step. The adhesive needs this extra time to flash off the solvent carrier. It should feel tacky to the touch but should not transfer to your finger when lightly pressed.
- Bond: Once the adhesive is tacky, align your materials. You have a wider window to position large sheets. Press firmly across the entire surface.
- Cure (Full Bonding Time): Don’t hang this vertical immediately; give it time to set. Do not disturb the bond until it’s complete. The Bonding Time can be up to 40 minutes, depending on temperature, humidity and volume of glue sprayed.
- ⚠️ Important Temperature Note: In higher temperatures, the dry time will be significantly accelerated, potentially reducing it to as little as 5–10 minutes. Always check tackiness before bonding in hot environments.
Post-Bonding and Cleanup
- Handling Strength: Do not disturb the bond for 10–30 minutes. This is the initial “grab” phase where the adhesive achieves handling strength.
- Full Cure Time: Allow 24 hours for the bond to achieve maximum structural integrity and peak thermal resistance.
- Cleanup: If the cylinder will sit for more than 72 hours without use, close the valve, purge the hose/gun, and connect to UAR-SC to clean the components and increase the longevity of your setup.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions: Mean Green Long Tack (MGLT)
Application & Performance
Q: Why do I need to use the specific Spray Tip 730116?
A: MGLT is a High-Viscosity Formula designed to hold heavy insulation. Because it is thicker than standard adhesives, it requires the larger orifice of Tip 730116 to atomize correctly. Using a standard tip will result in “streaming” or “spitting” rather than a proper web pattern.
Q: What is the “Open Time” or working window?
A: Mean Green Long Tack offers an extended open time of 4–8 minutes. This gives you significantly more time to position large sheets of fiberglass duct liner or wrap complex fittings compared to standard “instant tack” adhesives.
Q: What happens if I bond it too soon (before 4 minutes)?
A: Patience is key. If you bond before the solvent has flashed off (while it is still wet), the solvent can get trapped, leading to a weak bond or “bubbles” under the liner. Wait until the adhesive is tacky and does not transfer to your finger.
Q: Can I use MGLT on Styrofoam or Polystyrene?
A: NO. MGLT contains chlorinated solvents that will dissolve low-density polystyrene foam (EPS/XPS). It is designed specifically for fiberglass, rubber, and acoustic liners applied to metal.
Trouble Shooting
Q: Why is the spray pattern inconsistent or “spitting”?
A: This usually indicates one of a few things:
1. Wrong Tip: You are likely using a standard tip instead of the required Tip 730116.
2. Cold Cylinder: The adhesive is too cold. MGLT must be maintained between 60°F – 90°F. If the cylinder is cold, the pressure drops and the thick glue cannot spray properly. Warm the cylinder to room temperature before use, get it up off cold floors or away from exterior walls if possible.
3. Clogged Equipment: Clogged Equipment: if the hose or tip sit too long with product not being used the glue can start to setup and cause flow issues, use universal adhesive remover UAR-SC to purge the hose and tip of dry adhesive.
Safety & Compliance
Q: How does the VOC content compare to standard Mean Green?
A: Mean Green Long Tack is our most eco-friendly non-flammable solvent option, featuring an extremely low VOC content of < 5% (approx 0.67 g/L), making it an excellent choice for shops prioritizing air quality while maintaining a non-flammable safety profile.
Q: Is this product Non-Flammable?
A: Yes. Mean Green Long Tack is certified Non-Flammable in both Wet and Dry states, satisfying strict insurance requirements for commercial fabrication shops.
Q: How long can I buy this product? (EPA Regulations)
A: MGLT is fully compliant for professional use today. Under current EPA TSCA guidelines, distribution to retailers ends Dec 8, 2026, and commercial use ends March 8, 2027. Vapco is actively developing the next generation of permanent non-flammable solutions to replace it before these dates.
Q: What cylinder sizes are available?
A: MGLT is available in three sizes to suit your workflow:
• 12 lbs (MGLT-SC): Portable/Disposable for field service.
• 40 lbs (MGLT-LC): Standard size for shop fabrication.
• 200 lbs (MGLT-200): Large volume for production lines.
