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.
ROBERTS R95 High Tack Carpet Adhesive can be applied to concrete
substrates with up to 85% moisture content.
Relative Humidity is tested with the In-Situ Probe method as outlined in
ASTM F2170.
Test all concrete substrate flooring for moisture content according to
Australian Standards and Manufacturers Recommendations.
ROBERTS R95 High Tack Carpet Adhesive can be used on concrete substrates
with pH readings up to 10.0.
If mechanical preparation is required, prepare the floor using
recommended techniques such as shot blasting and diamond grinding to provide a
roughened, clean, sound, and open porous surface.
Thoroughly vacuum loose material and dust.
Before applying adhesive, it is recommended that highly absorbent
concrete subfloors be primed with ROBERTS R48 UNIVERSAL PRIMER floor and wall primer
before using adhesive.
Indentations and uneven concrete subfloors should be treated with the
ROBERTS RANGE OF LEVELLING COMPOUNDS per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Where temperatures are less than 5°C or higher than 35°C, please contact
RLA Technical department for further details.

APPLICATION:

Apply adhesive with the recommended notched trowel.
Recommended V Notching Sizes

V1 – 1.6mm x 1.6mm Notched Trowel for an underlay to the subfloor,
V2 – 2.4mm x 2.4mm Notched Trowel for Hessian-backed carpets
V3 – 3.2mm x 3.2mm Notched Trowel for Action Bac, woven or highly textured backings.

A strong tack develops, enabling carpet/underlay to be immediately
lowered at temperatures more than 15°C.
In colder conditions, allow the adhesive to remain open until tack and
grab develop, then lower in the carpet/underlay into the wet film of adhesive.
Check to ensure transfer of adhesive to the carpet/underlay has
occurred.
Roll the finished installation with a 25-35kg roller.
