PLASTIGLUE is a neoprene adhesive suitable for PVC floor coverings, cork, rubber tiles or sheet (for light traffic), hessian backed linoleum tiles, natural fibre floor coverings (coir, sisal, sea grass) with or without latex backing, skirting boards, corners and stair nosings.
For use onto subfloors of concrete, sand/cement screed, anhydrite and asphalt screeds, smoothing underlayments, floor tiles, sheet metal, sanded painted surfaces, flooring grade plywood, parquet and timber.
Recommended by main manufacturers.
Suitable for wall and floor coverings.
For interior use only.

Safety:
IMPORTANT: before embarking on any work involving PLASTIGLUE the separate Product Safety Data Sheet must be studied carefully by those carrying out the work.
Observe good hygiene in use. Avoid skin and eye contact.
Contains flammable solvents: ventilate well during and after use. Do not smoke. Keep away from all sources of ignition, flames and sparks. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Inform the workers and other trades of these precautions. Tightly close all containers after use and keep them in a well ventilated place.
Shelf life:
Up to 12 months in the original unopened container stored between +10°C and +25°C. Frost-resistant.
PREPARATION
Preparation should be in accordance with building standards. Subfloors must be sound, even, smooth, permanently dry and free from old adhesive residues, dust, grease or other contaminants.
When overlaying existing floor coverings ensure that they are firmly bonded and clean.
Remove dirt, polish, oil and similar contaminating substances.
When further preparation of the subfloor is required, select suitable Bostik primers and Bostik smoothing and levelling compounds. Very absorbent surfaces must be primed to prevent over absorption. Anhydrite screeds as well as particleboards and plywood should be primed with solvent-based primer IMPREGLUE, several subsequent coats may be necessary (100-120 g/m²/coat).
All surfaces must incorporate adequate damp proofing and very absorbent surfaces should be primed with EPONAL 336 Moisture Vapour Barrier coating.
Always allow primers and underlayment to dry thoroughly before applying the adhesive.
APPLICATION
Apply the adhesive to both the substrate and the material using a suitable notched trowel.
For most application use a notched trowel N°000, apply approx. 120 to 160 g/m² onto each surface. Do not over apply.
For absorbent substrates (e.g. wood, particle boards, plywood or plaster boards) apply two coats of adhesive at interval of 10-15 minutes. On other surfaces a single coat of adhesive is enough.
For hessian-backed linoleum in tiles: apply two coats onto the backing of the covering and a single coat onto the substrate.
Allow an appropriate open time (approx. 8 to 12 minutes), depending on temperature and humidity conditions ; substrate absorbency and type of floor covering. Lay the floor covering whilst the adhesive remains tacky and receptive. Use a rubbing block and/or roller to expel trapped air and ensure good transfer of the adhesive. After 30-40 minutes, repeat. Use a brush on moulded stairs.
REMARKS
- WARNING: In cold damp weather solvent evaporation may lead to a formation of a damp film onto the surface (condensation): bonding cannot be done. Wait until the adhesive film is touch-dry before installing the covering. Avoid working in these conditions.
Cleaning
Tools and spillages should be cleaned with a solvent (such as MEK-Methyl Ethyl Ketone).
