RLA Polymers ODA-Outdoor Carpet Adhesive
20 Litre Drum
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
RLA Polymers ODA-Outdoor Carpet Adhesive is an all-weather solvent based (flammable) adhesive specifically formulated for the outdoor installation of non-stretch open weave polypropylene backed synthetic grass carpet.
General Details:
• Size: 20L
• Spread Rate: 60m2 per 20L (3m2/L)
• Solvent Based
• Will bond securely to cured concrete, asphalt, exterior grade wood and other clean paved surfaces
• Ideal for use around swimming pools, outdoor recreational areas and other applications which are subject to moisture after fixing
• Not recommended for urethane and E.V.A. backed carpets.
FOR BONDING:
RLA Polymers ODA-Outdoor Carpet Adhesive develops high strength quickly and when cured will withstand unfavorable weather conditions. It will bond securely to cured concrete, asphalt, exterior grade wood and other clean paved surfaces and is ideal for use around swimming pools, balconies, outdoor recreational areas and other applications which are subject to moisture after fixing.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
To be in accordance with the current Australian Standard
“Floor Coverings – 1884-2021 Resilient Sheet & Tiles – Laying & Maintenance Practices” or Australian Standard 2455.2.2019 “Textile Floor Coverings – Installation Practice”.
All surfaces to be bonded shall be absorbent, dry, smooth, sound and clean.
Subfloors must also be free of wax, grease, paint, previously used adhesive, polish, PVC based membranes, curing compounds, hydrostatic pressure and any other impurities that may affect adhesion.
The minimum subfloor temperature before commencing surface preparation and adhesive application is 100C.
Test all concrete substrate flooring for moisture content, according to the current Australian Standards prior to priming or the installation of any floorcoverings.
APPLICATION:
Spread adhesive with the recommended V notched trowel.
Apply adhesive using a ‘V’ notched trowel spreader.
Dimensions of notching should be such as to provide a minimum [90% coverage of adhesive to the back of the flooring.
As most synthetic grass and fibre bonded carpets have a highly textured backing, a deep 3.5mm x 3.5mm notching is recommended.
Allow adhesive to develop some initial tack – approximately 5-10minutes at 20°C before lowering floorcovering into the wet film of adhesive and rolled to ensure transfer of adhesive has occurred onto the backing of the floorcovering.
Tack-up time will depend upon atmospheric conditions and substrate absorbency.
Complete installation according to manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the installation is rolled in both directions with the recommended roller weight, prior to the adhesive setting.
Do not allow heavy traffic for 24 hours.
Do not apply adhesive in rain or if rain is expected during or shortly after laying.
Apply in a well ventilated area.
