- Economical in use due to precise application. Can be applied at temperatures between +40°F and +95°F.
- Limited post expansion for fast and precise installation of subfloors.
- Substantial space and weight savings compared to conventional PU adhesives, bonding mortars, etc.
- Fast curing.
- Solvent-free.
- Resistant to a variety of solvents, paints and chemicals.
- Does not age or rot, mold and mildew resistant, but not
- UV resistant.
- Water resistant (not watertight).
- Sticks to wet or frozen lumber.
- Can prevent floors from squeaking.
- Tested according to ASTM E 84
- Tested according to ASTM D3498
- Substrates
- All usual substrates such as plywood, lumber (frozen, wet or treated), OSB, particle board, concrete, metals, masonry, stone and plaster.
- Adhesive surfaces must be stable, clean, without bubbles and free of separating agents such as talcum, grease, oils, etc.
- Suitable for use on moist, but not wet (water film, standing water) building substrates.
- Any cement slurries and sinter layers on mineral substrates must be removed mechanically.
- Does not adhere to PE, PP, PTFE and silicone.
- All substrates should be tested for suitability with regard to adhesion and compatibility.

- Instructions for use
Prior to using the product, cover all adjacent areas for protection against soiling. In windy conditions, precautions must be taken to ensure that Soudabond Subfloor cannot contaminate components, objects or persons in the vicinity. Good ventilation must be ensured for indoor use. The product is flammable during dispensing. Wear protective goggles and gloves. Tightly screw the can to the thread in the gun and shake the gun about 30 seconds with the valve pointing downwards so that the contents are mixed well to ensure an optimum adhesive quality and high yield. After extended periods of nonuse, the can must be shaken again to obtain the required adhesive quality! With the control knob on the gun, adjust the adhesive bead to the required diameter of about ½”. (The emptier the can, the more the control knob needs to be opened). The can must be held vertical during application.
1. Apply the adhesive in uniform beads of ½” centrally onto the mounting studs. A distance of 0.4 to 0.8 inch must be maintained between the gun nozzle and substrate while spraying.
2. Place the subfloor decking onto the gel adhesive within 10 minutes after dispensing. Do not remove and reapply panels as this will damage the adhesive structure and reduce the adhesive strength substantially. At high temperatures and low humidity in particular, curing can be accelerated by lightly spraying the adhesive bead with water.
3. Once the panels are set, and while keeping pressure, secure the boards additionally with mechanical fasteners.
General note: Do not load/subject the subfloor decking to traffic within the curing time! SOUDABOND SUBFLOOR can be painted or plastered after curing.
Application temperature:
Surface: +23 ºF to +95 ºF Can Temperature: +40 °F to +77 °F (optimal +59°F to +77°F)
If required, slowly bring the can to the optimal temperature by placing in cool or leek water.Cleaning: With GUN & FOAM CLEANER or SWIPEX prior to curing, subsequently with PU REMOVER or remove mechanically.
Repair option: With Soudabond Subfloor
