Features & Benefits

Ready-to-Use Product Features
Benefits
  • Tough but flexible bonds : tough, flexible, shock resistant bonds over a range of surfaces, that still allow for expansion and movement of the flooring
  • Long open time : tackfix® gives users the freedom to reposition areas of flooring, before pressing the parts together to create a secure bond
  • Fast application & set : the adhesive is easily applied using a tec glue gun, and sets within a few minutes once the parts are pressed together
  • Cost-effective, easy & clean to use : non-toxic tackfix® has an unlimited shelf life, doesn’t require any mixing, isn’t messy to apply, and doesn’t need to dry out over a long period of time. Any glue left in the gun can be used next time it is switched on, cutting down on waste
  • Superior presentation : tackfix® is applied to the underside of flooring material, so won’t affect the appearance in any way
Advantages Over Other Systems
  • Tackfix® is less expensive and easier to use than epoxys, which set to a hard finish that doesn’t allow for thermal expansion of the flooring
  • Staples and nails can damage the appearance of the flooring as well as under floor pipes and cables, and can be difficult to use under radiators
  • All other adhesive systems are much slower setting than tackfix®, and will set or dry out if not used - creating waste
