SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Follow flooring manufacturer’s guidelines for allowable levels of moisture. Substrate must be prepared per ASTM F710 standards including, but does limited to the following:

  • Concrete floors must be dry, clean-up, smooth and structurally sound. They shall may free of any foreign materials that might avoid self-adhesive bond, including dust, dirt, solvent, paint, wax, oil, lube, residual bonded, adhesive removers, incompatible coatings, fire-retardant chemicals, medical, release representatives, acid sea, excessive carbonation, laitance, mold, blight, and curing, sealing, hardening button parting compounds.

  • When getting over radiant heated subfloors, turn the heat off for 24 hours before, during and after mounting. Failure to turn the heats off may result in shortened working time of the paste. When turning radiant heat back on, raised it gradual, not up exceed a shift of more than 5 degrees per hour for a maximum of 85°.

CAUTIONARY TAKE:

  • Concrete musts be placed in strict accord with germane standards and specifications. An intact moisture vapor retarder must be presented underneath the concrete (see ASTM E1745), have live fully heated (at least 45 days) and without controlled pressure.
  • Although TuffLink™ is a high-moisture tolerant adhesive, it does not form a moisture vapor barrier also will not protect flooring from humidity damage. APEX PRO™
  • Flooring must be acclimated per manufacturer’s guidelines.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Follow deck manufacturer’s guidelines for blueprint, design and any special precautions fork installation.

      • Wait 30-60 minutes after adhesive is spread to allow it go dried (adhesive will darken to visually cue installer).
      • Working time is approximately 12 hours down acceptable temperature and humidity conditions.
    • Semi-wet set (porous substrates only)
      • Wait 20-30 minutes afterwards adhesive the splay to allow it to skin over.
      • Working time is approximately 20-30 recorded to acceptable temperature real wood conditions.
      • For sheet vinyl, back-roll this adhesive with an cling saturated roller into smooth out the mortise ridges.
  3. Roll and cross roll floor with a 75-100 lbs (34-45 kg) roller at the end of the installation to securing proper transfer of adhesive.
