Maximum Grip. Minimum Overspray. The Professional Mist Adhesive.
When you need the strongest possible repositionable tack for a demanding production run, AlbaChem® 1787 Premium Mist Adhesive delivers. Its coarse mist pattern lays down a heavy, heat-stable, water-resistant adhesive layer with low overspray — maximum grip where it counts, minimal waste where it doesn’t. Versatile across screen printing, embroidery, and cutting room applications. Will not transfer residue to garments.
What’s Included
Key Performance Features
Super-Strong Coarse Mist Tack
The 1787’s coarse mist pattern deposits more adhesive per pass than fine mist sprays, creating a heavier, stronger grip layer. For demanding production runs where garments must hold through long print sequences without reapplication, the 1787 delivers.
Low Overspray
Despite the heavier mist deposit, the 1787 is formulated for low overspray — adhesive goes where you direct it with minimal ambient drift. Less buildup on surrounding press equipment and a cleaner working environment.
Heat Stable & Water Resistant
The 1787 holds its tack under normal production heat exposure and is water resistant — condensation, humidity, or damp shop conditions won’t compromise the adhesive bond during a run.
Will Not Transfer
Dries to a non-transferable tack. Garments come off the platen cleanly with no adhesive residue on the fabric.
Three-Department Use
Like the 1782 Eco Mist, the 1787 is listed for screen printing pallets, embroidery room applique positioning, and cutting room blotting paper hold. One product that serves multiple production departments.
Less Frequent Reapplication
The strong tack lasts longer than lighter adhesives, requiring fewer stops during a run. Higher throughput per shift and less adhesive used per garment.
Safety & Ventilation
PPE Required
Chemical-resistant gloves and safety glasses during application. Avoid prolonged skin contact.
Ventilation
Use in a well-ventilated area. Keep shop exhaust running during and after spraying sessions.
Flammability
Flammable aerosol propellant. Keep away from open flames and heat sources. Do not puncture or incinerate.
California Note
Not CARB-compliant. California customers must order 1787C. Call (512) 454-0505.
Step Zero: Apply Pallet Tape Before You Spray
Cover the clean platen with pallet tape before spraying the 1787. Spray onto the tape surface. End-of-job cleanup is just peeling off the tape — no solvents, no scrubbing, no downtime.
Workflow
1
Tape platen with pallet tape
2
Spray 1787 from 10–12 inches
3
Load & print — super-strong tack holds

Cleanup: Peel tape. Done.
Choosing the Right AlbaChem Adhesive
Choose 1787 Mist When…
You need maximum grip on standard T-shirts and garments for high-volume runs. The super-strong coarse mist tack holds through long production sequences without frequent reapplication.
Choose 1786 Flash When…
Running multi-color jobs with flash cure stations. The 1786’s heat-activated tack increases with each flash — purpose-built for that workflow.
Choose 1783 Web When…
Printing on fleece, hoodies, or textured pile fabrics. The web pattern interlocks with fabric pile where mist adhesives lose grip.
Application Guide
Step 1 — Tape the Platen
Apply pallet tape to the clean, dry platen. Smooth out all bubbles.
Step 2 — Shake & Spray
Shake well. Hold can 10–12 inches from the platen. The coarse mist requires a slightly longer spray distance than fine mist adhesives for optimal coverage.
Step 3 — Load & Print
Place garment and press lightly. Repositionable until pressed firmly. The super-strong tack holds throughout the run.
Step 4 — Cleanup
Peel pallet tape for zero-solvent cleanup. Invert can and spray until clear air flows to prevent nozzle clogging.
⚠️ California Note
Not CARB-compliant. CA customers order 1787C. Call (512) 454-0505.
💡 Spray Distance
Hold 10–12 inches from platen — further than most adhesives. The coarse mist needs the extra distance to spread evenly onto the pallet tape.
💡 Eco Alternative
Want a cleaner chemical profile? The 1782 Eco Mist has no hexane, no chlorinated solvents, and is also multi-department rated.
