Festool EVA NAT 48x-KA 65 Natural Hot-Melt Adhesive Cartridges
At a Glance: 48 natural-coloured 50g EVA hot-melt adhesive cartridges for clean, precisely dosed and virtually invisible edge bonding with the Festool CONTURO KA 65.
The Festool EVA NAT 48x-KA 65 is a professional industrial-quality hot-melt adhesive developed specifically for the Festool CONTURO KA 65 edge bander. Its dimensions, melting characteristics and bonding properties are precisely matched to the CONTURO glue application system, helping users achieve clean, reliable and consistently bonded edging in furniture manufacturing, cabinetmaking, shopfitting and interior installation applications.
The unfilled natural-coloured EVA adhesive is suitable for virtually all decorative finishes and is especially useful where a discreet, unobtrusive glue line is required. Its neutral colour blends well with natural timber, woodgrain edging and a broad selection of light or medium-coloured decorative panels, helping create smooth, visually seamless transitions between the edging and workpiece.
The unique cartridge system enables needs-based refilling and accurately controlled adhesive dosing, reducing unnecessary consumption and simplifying handling. A long open time allows the CONTURO to be guided at different working speeds, while the adhesive&s high hot tack makes it suitable for straight edges, curves and free-form components.
The Festool EVA cartridge system combines clean processing, dependable bond strength and efficient adhesive use. The natural colour is suitable for a wide variety of decorative finishes, while the adhesive melts cleanly without excessive stringing or smearing for professional-quality edge-banding results.
