Peelbond Tackifier
JM200
A solvent free acrylic, co-polymer, emulsion adhesive that can be applied by either trowel or roller. It dries to a permenantly tacky finish. When laid to "dry" it provides a releasable bond, particularly for specific contract underlays developed for "double stick". When laid into "wet" it provides a permanent bond. It is non-staining, resistant to plasticiser migration, is suitable for use over normal underfloor heating systems and will withstand normal wet cleaning techniques.
Uses
JM200 can be used to install the following: Carpet Underlays: Specific contract grades developed for release bonding, eg. in double stick installations. Carpets: With smooth backings including vinyl, polyurethane, gelback and latex foam.
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 or BS8203 The Installation of Resilient Floorcoverings. Another useful source of reference is The C F A 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 the method described in BS8203). Direct to to earth bases must incorporate an effective damp proof membrane. Underfloor heating must be switched off 48 hours before and after the installation. Very absorbent surfaces should be primed with a suitable sealer
Application
For best results a minimum temperature of 18°C (65°F) should be maintained for the installation. FOR A RELEASABLE BOND THE ADHESIVE MUST BE COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE LAYING THE FLOORCOVERING: Apply the adhesive evenly by roller or trowel (for Underlay: as specified by the manufacturer). For metal access floors always apply the adhesive by roller from a tray to avoid getting adhesive between the joints. Any tools used should be cleaned with water immediately after use and whilst the adhesive is still wet. Drying time will depend on temperature, humidity, subfloor porosity and trowel or roller used. For releasable bond: allow the adhesive to dry completely before laying the floorcovering. After laying, apply a weighted roller or glider to ensure a good overall contact has been established and no air bubbles remain. (With some gel back and latex foam back floorcoverings, even dry laying can result in a permanent bond). For permanent bond: lay the floorcovering into the adhesive whilst it is still wet or partially dry. For non-absorbent backings on a well sealed subfloor use the "double drop" technique. After laying, apply a weighted roller or glider to ensure a good overall contact. It may be necessary on some floorcoverings to roll a second time approximately 30 minutes later to ensure a strong bond is established.
Health & Safety Precautions
- Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet and follow the advice given.
- Ensure area of use is well ventilated.
- Avoid prolonged contact with skin and if sensitive, use barrier cream or gloves.
- In case of contact with eyes, mouth or nose, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical help.
