Cold Weather Guidelines for JM Adhesives
As the colder months approach, it's crucial to pay attention to the temperature sensitivity of adhesives. Temperature impacts chemical viscosity and reaction time, both of which are critical for proper mixing, coverage, and overall product performance. For canister adhesives, canisters must be at 70°F (21°C) before application. Here are helpful guides for popular JM Adhesives:
- JM QuickFoam™ Adhesive Installation Guidelines
- JM Two-Part Urethane Insulation Adhesive Canister Operating Instructions
- JM Roofing System Urethane Adhesive (RSUA) Installation Guidelines

Warranty Backed, Advanced Triple-Layer Protection
When it comes to cladding materials, durability, long-term appearance, and low maintenance features are critical — and that’s where Ceraclad’s Triple Coated Panels really shine.
Triple‑Layer Coating Technology
Ceraclad panels use a three‑layer coating system, engineered for both protection and minimal maintenance:
- Color Layer: A factory-applied finish in proprietary colors, giving designers a broad palette to choose from.
- Ceramic Coating: Provides excellent UV‑blocking properties, shielding the color beneath from fading over time.
- Photocatalytic Coating: The outermost finish is truly advanced — it’s self-cleaning (working 365 days/year), air-purifying, and even anti‑viral/anti‑bacterial. Under exposure to UV light and rain, this layer helps break down dirt and grime, helping the panels stay clean.
Ceraclad stands behind its panels with a 20-year Fade Limited Warranty plus the base panel comes with a 30-year product warranty.
