Description

Roberts R6037 Synthetic Grass Carpet Adhesive
– 20 Litres

 

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

ROBERTS R6037 Synthetic Grass 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 carpets.
It is not recommended for urethane and E.V.A.-backed carpets.
ROBERTS R6037 Synthetic Grass Carpet Adhesive develops high strength quickly and, when cured, will withstand unfavourable weather conditions.

 

SUITABILITY:

• ROBERTS R6037 Synthetic Grass Carpet Adhesive 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:

• Follow all current Australian Standards, Including, Australian Standard 2455.2.2019 “Textile Floor Coverings Installation Practice” & “Floor Coverings 1884-2021 Resilient Sheet & Tiles – Laying & Maintenance Practices”.
• 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 10°C.
• Test all concrete substrate flooring for moisture content according to the current Australian Standards before priming or installing any floor coverings.
• Where temperatures are less than 5°C or higher than 35°C, please contact RLA Technical department for further details.

 

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 75% coverage of adhesive to the back of the flooring.
• As most synthetic grass and fibre bonded carpets have a highly textured backing, a deep 3.2mm x 3.2mm notching is recommended.
• Allow adhesive to develop some initial tack-approximately 5-10 minutes at 20°C before lowering floor covering into the wet film of adhesive and rolling to ensure adhesive transfer has occurred onto the backing of the floor covering.
• 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 before the adhesive setting.
• Do not allow heavy traffic for 24 hours.
• Do not apply adhesive in the rain or if rain is expected during or shortly after laying.
• Apply in a well-ventilated area.
