Sullivan’s Adhesives Trust the Science...All the Champions Do!

By John Sullivan, Founder of Sullivan Supply & Stock Show U

“How did you create the industry leading Sullivan’s Prime Time and Tail Adhesive?” is a question quite often asked by customers and friends. It’s very important to formulate an adhesive to work in all weather conditions. Cattle create a lot of body heat and sweat even on a cold January day. The steamy, humid hide is the challenge and is exactly where Sullivan’s Prime Time and Tail Adhesive separate themselves from others. Here is a general explanation why.

1. Prime Time and Tail Adhesive are composed of adhesive concentrates derived from extremely fine liquid rubberized resin compounds. Resins can be synthetic or plant based and are similar to substances found in pine trees and other plants such as rubber trees/plants.

2. Exact balance of base adhesive resin in combination with specialized propellant formulations disperse the adhesive out of the can in ultra fine molecules each time it is sprayed.

3. The evaporation system when sprayed allows it to dry adequately fast. Keeps it from becoming wet or “gummy”, which is very important.

4. The solvency of the product when first sprayed allows it to remain workable, flexible, and easily formed.

5. Unique balance of dry time: slow enough that it allows you to comb to desired position, yet fast enough to dry firm and clip off crisp.

This all creates an adhesive that will not wilt or melt. This formulation is impossible to duplicate without our exact recipe.

Sullivan’s Prime Time is formulated lighter, is more flexible and clear in a pure form of adhesive. This is the BEST option for no paint shows. Sullivan’s Tail Adhesive was created to dry faster, very crisp, the perfect adhesive for experienced fitters to provide a firm humidity-tolerant hold.
