Applications & Uses

Application Method
Installation Guide
  • Remove surface contaminants such as dirt, oil, rust or another previous adhesive, to ensure a clean surface for excellent adhesion.
  • Mineral wool batt may be required in joint systems.
  • Install min 64 kg/m3 (4 pcf) mineral wool batt insulation in the joint opening as a permanent form.
  • Install edge-first into the joint opening, parallel with joint direction, such that batt sections are compressed min 60 percent in thickness and flush with the bottom surfaces of the floor.
  • Using an airless sprayer or brush, apply the required wet thickness of INSSS1186 to completely cover the top surface of mineral wool and lap an additional 2 mm (5/64 in.) thick by min 25 mm (1 in.) onto each edge of the substrate.
  • Product can be applied to vertical or horizontal surfaces.
  • To avoid sag when applied to vertical surfaces, install 2 - 3 thinner applications until the required depth is achieved, allowing it to cure slightly between coats.
  • Trowel by using a mason’s trowel or putty knife as needed.
  • Full curing may take 3 - 7 days, depending on the applied thickness and ambient condition.
  • Avoid contact with moisture before full curing.
