SUITABILITY:

ROBERTS R656 Pressure Sensitive Adhesive is suitable for use with:

• PVC Backed Carpet tiles
• Fibre Backed Carpet Tiles
• Cushion Back Carpet Tiles
• Reinforced Vinyl Composition (VCT) Tiles

 

COVERAGE:

• Applying the adhesive with a Long Nap Roller Pile height of no less than
  10mm can achieve an approximate spread rate of 8-10 square metres per litre.
• “V1” 1.6mm x 1.6mm notched trowel will achieve approximately 5 square
  metres per litre.
• “V2” 2.4mm x 2.4mm notched trowel will achieve up to 3 square metres per
  litre.

 

SURFACE PREPARATION:

• To be by the current Australian Standard “Floor Coverings
  1884-2021 Resilient Sheet & Tiles – Laying & Maintenance Practices.”
• All surfaces should be dry, smooth, sound, clean and free of wax,
  grease, oil, previously applied adhesive, and other contaminants.
• The relative humidity of the concrete must be measured as per the
  AS1884-2021 Australian Standard.
• RLA 999 may be applied onto concrete substrates with moisture content up
  to 85% relative humidity tested based on the In-Situ Probe method ASTM F2170
• The alkalinity of the concrete (pH) must not be higher than 10.
• Subfloors must also be free of hydrostatic pressure And laitance on
  concrete substrates should be removed before using this adhesive.
• Curing time is related to temperature; this product should not be
  applied at temperatures below 10°C.
• Test all concrete substrates for moisture content according to the
  current Australian Standards before priming or installing any floorcoverings.
• Priming is only generally required when installing on overly porous
  subfloors.
• If priming is required, use RLA PU95.
• Indentations and uneven concrete subfloors should be treated with the
  Roberts and RLA TruLevel Product range of levelling compounds and by the
  manufacturer’s recommendations.

 

APPLICATION:

• Spread adhesive with the recommended notched trowel.
• Applying the adhesive with a 1.6mm x1.6mm “V1” notched trowel is
  recommended to secure Double-Bond underlays to a substrate.
• Bonding Carpet Tiles to the subfloor when laid in a releasable mode, we
  recommend using a long nap roller with a pile height of no less than 10mm.
• Alternatively, a 1.6mm x 1.6mm “V1” notched trowel may be used.
• For securing reinforced Viny Composition (VCT) Tiles, Vinyl Planks with
  an embossed backing system, Loose Lay Vinyl Planks and Cushion Back Carpet Tiles to
  a subfloor, a 1.6mm x 1.6mm “V1” notched trowel is recommended.
• Alternatively, if a stronger bond is required a 2.4mm x 2.4mm “V2”
  notched trowel is also recommended.
• A 1.6mm x 1.6mm “V1” notched trowel is recommended to install Carpet
  Tiles on double bond underlays.
• Depending upon the porosity of the underlay, a second application of
  adhesive may be required, or a 2.4mm x 2.4mm “V2” notched trowel is recommended.
• RLA 999 Pressure Sensitive Adhesive is used in dry mode, allowing the
  adhesive to dry and become clear; this will limit the transfer of the adhesive to
  the back of the carpet tiles, enabling them to be relayed or repositioned with a
  clean backing.
• A stronger bond can be achieved by laying the material into the adhesive
  film just before it dries completely; this will cause some transfer onto the back of
  the material.
• Complete installation according to the Floorcoverings manufacturer’s
  instructions, ensuring the installation is rolled in both directions with the
  recommended roller weight.

 

SETTING TIMES:

• RLA 999 Pressure Sensitive Adhesive will tack up and turn clear after
  approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour at 20°C.
• Times may vary depending on substrate absorbency, temperature, and
  humidity.

 

CLEAN UP:

• Clean tools immediately after use with warm soapy water.
• The dried adhesive may be cleaned off using a suitable solvent cleaner
  applied to a damp cloth and rubbed gently over the dried adhesive.

• Drying times can be extended when applied in cold ambient
  temperatures
• Don’t apply adhesive in direct sunlight
• INTERNAL USE ONLY
