Fast Setting Gripper Adhesive
A17
This gunnable adhesive has an extremely fast setting time, allowing jobs to be finished in a fraction of the time when compared to traditional methods.
USES
It is most commonly used for the fixing of carpet grippers, trims and stairnosings. It can also be used to fix plastic and wooded skirtings, batons and panels.
SUBFLOORS
Suitable subfloors include concrete, sand/cement screed, smoothing underlayment, plyboard, flooring grade chipboard, hardboard, wood and existing well bonded resilient flooring. Note: There are certain grades of flooring grade chipboard that have been treated with paraffin wax to provide a waterproof quality. These types of chipboards are not suitable for use with this adhesive With existing well bonded resilient flooring care must be taken to ensure the subfloor under the resilient flooring is sound and the surface of the resilient flooring is thoroughly cleaned of any polish etc. If this cannot be done, the existing resilient flooring must be removed and the subfloor made good before proceeding.
PREPARATION
All parts of the installation should comply with the latest edition of the following British Standard Code of Practice: BS5325 The Installation of Textile Floorcoverings of BS8203 The Installation of Resilient Floorcoverings. Another useful source of reference is The CFA Guide to Contract Flooring. Subfloors must be sound, smooth, clean, dry and free from any contamination which will affect adhesion. Relative humidity of cementitious subfloors should be 75% or less (when tested by method described in BS 8203). Direct to earth bases must incorporate an effective damp proof membrane. Underfloor heating must be switched off for 48 hours before and after the installation. Very absorbent surfaces should be primed with JM1000 Universal Primer.
APPLICATION
Cut off the top of the cartridge and attach the nozzle. Load cartridge into a skeleton gun and apply a thin bead of adhesive. Do not cut the nozzle. Press the product into the adhesive immediately and allow to set. Curing time will be anything up to 1 hour on absorbent surfaces at 15°C. Cooler temperatures will prolong the curing time. Non absorbent surfaces will prolong the curing time.
