User Information
BLOCK BOND® was developed with professional users in mind. Its innovative formula contains no suspected carcinogens and complies with the relevant requirements and restrictions of the REACH Regulation.
Another advantage: The mandatory user training required under EU Regulation 2020/1149—often referred to as the “isocyanate license”
—is no longer necessary. As a result, BLOCK BOND® reduces the effort involved in application,
training, and documentation—without compromising on performance.
Pre-treatment
The healthy claw to be bonded is trimmed so that the bonding surface is as flat as possible. Notching or roughening the surface increases the adhesive’s bond to the claw. Any gaps can be filled with the adhesive up to a gap width of 6–10 mm. The surface should be clean and dust-free; ideally, it should be dry, with only minimal residual moisture, but under no circumstances should it be wet. All steps, from applying the adhesive to pressing the block onto the hoof, must be completed within the working time. For BLOCK BOND®, the working time is 15–20 seconds; for BLOCK BOND® SEMI-FAST, 10–14 seconds; and for BLOCK BOND® FAST, 6–10 seconds.

Using the 200-ml dual cartridge
- Open the transparent twist-off cap by turning it a quarter turn to the left, then remove it from the cartridge. Do not discard the twist-off cap.
- Pull the green cap off the cartridge.
- Attach the mixing tube. Make sure the guide tabs are properly aligned.
- Then replace the transparent twist-off cap over the mixing tube and close it by turning it a quarter turn clockwise until the cap audibly clicks into place.
- Quickly squeeze out the adhesive using a suitable 1:1 dispensing gun to fill the mixing tube. Discard approximately one mixing tube’s worth of adhesive until a homogeneous mixture is achieved.
