Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
CAV-GRIP III is the go-to choice when speed matters on large single-ply roofs; the spray application and fast flash-off cut labor substantially versus bucket adhesive. Verify membrane type and warranty length (up to 20 years for horizontal Sure-Weld TPO and Sure-Seal EPDM applications per Carlisle) before specifying. Ensure adequate ventilation and flash-off time before mating membrane to substrate per Carlisle instructions.
Pressurized flammable adhesive: use in well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources, wear recommended PPE, and follow the SDS and cylinder handling instructions.
Order the Carlisle SynTec CAV-GRIP III 40 lb cylinder for fast spray-applied membrane bonding and priming.
