SADER ADHESIF is an acrylic adhesive suitable for removable carpet tiles (bitumen or PVC-backed textile, vinyl with PVC backing) and fitted carpets with felt backing. Suitable for securing textiles and carpets with non-woven backings, such as: Ultratex, Comfort, Duo soft.
Recommended by main manufacturers. It is suitable for use onto subfloors of concrete, sand/cement screed, anhydrite screeds, smoothing underlayments, flooring grade plywood and timber, old PVC or tile flooring.
For interior use only.
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.
Be aware that changes in appearance of existing floor coverings may occur as the result of them being overlaid.
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, if not, they should be primed with EPONAL 336 Moisture Vapour Barrier coating.
Always allow primers and underlayment to dry thoroughly before applying the adhesive.
APPLICATION
Apply an even coat over the whole area to be covered using a foam roller or a notched trowel. Can be sprayed undiluted onto special technical floors. Avoid puddle formation.
In order to replace the tiles it is essential to observe an appropriate wating time: approx. 60 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity conditions; substrate absorbency and type of floor covering. On impervious substrates tack time must be at least 4 hours.
Sader Adhesif provides a permanent high tack film, tiles are easily replaceable, no additional product needed to uplift tiles.
Press the tiles or carpet firmly in place from the centre outwards, paying particular attention to the edges.
Floor covering removal
Uplift the covering starting from the a corner and peel off slowly. The adhesive residues can be easily removed by using 15% alkaline detergent solution diluted in hot water. Soak the remains of the adhesive for approx. 30 minutes until the adhesive re-emulsifies. Remove with a squeegee and floorcloth. Several rinses are needed to get original floor without any tacky surface.
REMARKS
- Do not place the floor coverings before the adhesive has dried completely as SADER ADHESIF would form a permanent bond
- Always observe an appropriate open time.
- Tightly close all containers after use.
Cleaning
Tools should be cleaned with warm water, preferably whilst the adhesive is still wet.
