Description

Mapei Ultrabond ECO V4SP Conductive Flooring Adhesive
– 16kg Drum

Use Ultrabond Eco V4SP Conductive for bonding conductive vinyl or static-dissipative flooring in all areas where discharges of static electricity could cause explosions or disturb electrical and electronic equipment. This includes surgical rooms, chemical laboratories and factories, areas containing
electronic instruments, data processing centres, etc.

APPLICATIONS

Suitable for:

Bonding of conductive and static-dissipative vinyl, rubber and textile floor coverings in interiors.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES

Use Ultrabond Eco V4SP Conductive for bonding:

conductive vinyl or static-dissipative flooring in all areas where discharges of static electricity could cause explosions or disturb electrical and electronic equipment, e.g. surgical rooms, chemical laboratories and factories, areas containing electronic instruments, data processing centres, etc.;
conductive or static-dissipative rubber floors;
conductive needle-punch and carpet flooring

ON all absorbent and moisture-stable substrates normally used in building.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

Ultrabond Eco V4SP Conductive is a synthetic resin-based adhesive in water dispersion with special fibres that ensure electrical conductivity, formulated in an easily trowelable light grey paste.
Ultrabond Eco V4SP Conductive is not inflammable with very low emission of volatile organic compounds (EMICODE EC1 Plus).
It can therefore be stored with no special precautions.
Ultrabond Eco V4SP Conductive has high early grab and after a waiting time that varies from 0 to 10 minutes (at +23°C) is ready for installing any type of rubber or PVC flooring, as long as the substrate is absorbent.
The maximum open time is approximately 15 minutes at +23°C.
When dry, after about 24 to 48 hours, the Ultrabond Eco V4SP Conductive film is flexible and bonds strongly with good cohesion.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

To install conductive flooring which does not allow vapour transmission on non-absorbent surfaces use Adesilex G19 Conductive.
Do not use at temperatures below +15°C or above +35°C (follow the floor covering manufacturer’s installation instructions).
Do not use on substrates subject to rising damp.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

Preparing the substrate

Substrates must be uniformly dry, absorbent, level, sound, mechanically strong, free of dust, loose particles, paints, wax, oil, rust, traces of gypsum or other products that can interfere with bonding, and be free of cracks.
Check moisture content throughout the entire thickness of the substrate with a carbide or electric hygrometer, keeping in mind that the latter gives only approximate values.
The moisture content must be the one foreseen by the regulations of each country.
It is essential to make sure there is no rising damp present. Unbonded screeds laid over lightweight concrete or over insulation and screeds laid directly onto earth must be separated by a vapour barrier to prevent rising damp.
To repair cracks in the substrate, consolidate and waterproof screeds, form new fast-drying screeds and level uneven substrates, please refer to the relevant technical documentation or contact the MAPEI Technical Services Department.

Acclimatising

Before installing, make sure that the flooring, the adhesive and the substrate are acclimatised to the recommended temperature.
Several hours before installation the floor covering should be removed from its wrapping and unrolled, or at least loosened, to acclimatise it and reduce the tensions caused by the packaging.

Equipotential Earth Contact

Equipotential earth contact (earthing) should be done in compliance with regulations (CEI, DIN, AMSO, NFPA, ANSI, etc.).
Spread Ultrabond Eco V4SP Conductive to bond the copper strips (0.08 to 0.10 mm thick and 10 to 25 mm wide) of the conductive grid to the substrate.
Test the conductivity of the grid before installing the flooring.

Spreading the adhesive

Stir Ultrabond Eco V4SP Conductive in the bucket thoroughly, in order to achieve a homogeneus distribution of the conductive fibres.
Then apply it on the substrate evenly with a suitable notched trowel (MAPEI n° 2 type or see the picture of the trowel pictogram) in sufficient quantity as to wet the back of the flooring completely.
Waiting time varies from 0 to 10 minutes at approx. +23°C, depending on the absorbency of the substrate and environmental temperature and humidity.

Installing the Floor Covering

Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
After the waiting time has elapsed, the flooring must be installed within the open time of the adhesive, i.e. maximum 15 minutes, depending on the type of substrate and ambient temperature and humidity.
Press the surface of flooring immediately with a wooden trowel (or similar) or roller from the centre toward the edges in order to ensure total transfer of the adhesive and eliminate air bubbles.
Deformed flooring may need further pressing.

READY FOR USE:

Floors may be walked on after approximately 12 hours.

POLISHING:

The floor is set to light foot traffic in several hours, depending on the temperature, the absorbency of the substrate, and the porosity of the flooring.
Complete setting occurs after approx. 24 to 48 hours.

CONSUMPTION:

Consumption varies with uniformity of substrate, the back of the
flooring.
approx. 0.3 to 0.4 kg/m².

PACKAGING:

Ultrabond Eco V4SP Conductive is available in 16 kg buckets.

STORAGE:

Protect from frost during transit and storage.
Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures below 0°C.
Under normal conditions Ultrabond Eco V4SP Conductive is stable for at least 12 months in its original sealed packaging.
