Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Usage/Purpose
SF109 has been specially developed for LVT, vinyl and highly plasticised floor coverings. Suitable for use in areas of high solar gain and above under floor heating systems.
- Preparation
Site conditions must comply with British Standards CP 102, BS 8203, BS 5325 and supplementary specifications.
- The surfaces must be sound, clean, dry and free from oil, grease, paint, excessive dust and other contaminants liable to impair adhesion.
- Concrete and sand/cement screeds must be completely free from laitance.
- Direct to earth subfloors must incorporate an efficient damp-proof membrane.
- Underfloor heating must have been fully commissioned as per manufacturer’s instructions and must be switched off 48 hours before and during installation. The heating should be switched on 48 hours after completion but then only gradually as per the commissioning schedule. Consult Tremco CPG UK Limited’s Technical Department for a full specification.
- Priming
Dusty or very porous substrates should be sealed with CS150 Acrylic Primer.
- Application
- Stir the adhesive thoroughly before use.
- Spread evenly using a correctly notched trowel (A2 or 1.5 mm x 5 mm) for vinyl floor coverings. Only spread sufficient quantity of adhesive which can be covered within the products open time (5 to 20 minutes dependent on conditions).
- Lay the floor covering into the wet adhesive (absorbent surfaces only).
- Press firmly from the center to exclude air and ensure overall contact.
- Roll immediately in both directions using a 68 kg flooring roller. A second rolling is recommended.
- Cleaning
Before adhesive hardens, use warm water to remove surplus adhesive and clean tools. Do not allow the floor to be wet cleaned immediately after installation. Allow sufficient time for the adhesive bond to develop before wet cleaning commences, typically 48 hours at 20°C.
- Please Note
Keep free from heavy traffic for 24 hours after laying the floor covering.
- Open Time/Workability
5 to 20 minutes depending on prevailing conditions and type of subfloor (at +20°C).
- Coverage
Up to 56 m2 per 14 kg unit using an A2 or 1.5 x 5 mm notched trowel
