Mapei Ultrabond ECO S955 1K – Timber Flooring Adhesive
– 600ml Suasage

Mapei Ultrabond ECO S955 1K Adhesive is used for bonding solid wooden
floors or pre-finished multi-layered wooden floors of all types and formats. It is
a one-component, solvent-free, sililated polymer adhesive with a very low emission
level of volatile organic compounds, which can used for all types of timber
flooring including parquetry.

APPLICATIONS

Suitable for:

Bonding solid wooden floors or pre-finished multi-layered wooden floors
of all types and formats.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES

Ultrabond Eco S955 1K is used for bonding pre-finished wooden floors,
lamparquet, slats, floor-boards and all types of parquet on: concrete, engineered
screeds made using Mapecem, Mapecem Pronto, Topcem Pronto, as well as old wooden
floors, ceramic, marble, terrazzo etc., and metal. It is also suitable for heated
substrates.
Ultrabond Eco S955 can be used for bonding engineered timber to
acoustic matting. It can also be used for bonding the acoustic matting to the
substrate.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

Ultrabond Eco S955 1K is a one-component, silylated polymer-based adhesive without
water, solvents (according to TRGS 610), with a very low emission level of volatile
organic compounds (EMICODE EC1 Plus).
It is manufactured according to a technology developed by MAPEI’s own research
laboratories and has the following characteristics:

one-component, ready-to-use product; no catalyser is required,
therefore no mixing.
If stored correctly, remaining quantities of the product may be used
again at a later date;
GEV certified, as a product with a very low emission level of volatile
organic compounds (EMICODE EC1 Plus);
compatible with Ultracoat water-based varnishes and bases and the oils
from the Ultracoat range;
no hazard or risk statements or symbols;
easy to apply with excellent ridge holding;
20-30% more yield compared with conventional two-component adhesives,
thanks to its low viscosity and free-flowing properties when applied by trowel;
totally free of solvents (according to TRGS 610);
easy to remove from pre-finished element

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Before installation starts, doors and windows should be installed.
The humidity level in the substrate must be compliant with that
prescribed by the current standards for the installation of wood, and as indicated
in the technical data sheet for the parquet.
If the substrate is not thoroughly dry, or if the residual humidity is
higher than the level prescribed, use a moisture vapour barrier, such as Mapeproof
1K Turbo, Primer MF, or Planiseal MR.
If there is a risk of rising damp, a vapour barrier must be installed
before laying the screed.
Do not use Ultrabond Eco S955 1K if the temperature is lower than +10°C
or higher than +35°C.
When transported over long distances, thermally insulated containers
may be required

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

Preparing the substrate

The substrate must be checked carefully to assess its condition, and to prepare it
for laying parquet.

Concrete and engineered screeds:

must be well cured, dry, flat and mechanically strong.
The surface must be free of dust, loose parts, oil, paint, adhesive
residues etc.
Concrete slabs should be checked for level of residual humidity in
accordance with the in situ probe test (ASTM F2170).
To solve problems of residual humidity levels higher than those
prescribed for laying, wait until the concrete is dry, or apply a suitable
moisture vapour barrier, such as Mapeproof 1K Turbo, Primer MF, or Planiseal MR.
Cracks in the substrate must be repaired beforehand with a product such
as Eporip, Eporip Turbo, Epojet, etc.
Topcem Pronto or Mapecem Pronto pre-blended, ready-to-use mortar may be
used as an alternative, wood may be laid after 4 days and 24 hours, respectively.
In the presence of lightweight layers or insulation, or in the case of
screeds installed directly on the ground, a vapour barrier must be installed to
avoid rising damp.
Excessively rough or uneven surfaces should be levelled using a
smoothing compound with high mechanical properties, such as Ultraplan, Ultraplan
Eco, Ultraplan Renovation, Ultraplan Maxi, Nivorapid, etc., chosen according to the
thickness and substrate type to be installed.
Installation may be carried out once it has cured (see the relevant
product technical data sheet).
To install engineered screeds, use Topcem Pronto or Mapecem Pronto pre-
blended, ready-to-use mortar where wood may be laid after 4 days and 24 hours,
respectively.
In the presence of lightweight layers or insulation, or in the case of
screeds installed directly on the ground, a polyethylene vapour barrier must be
installed to avoid rising damp.

Old floors in ceramic, marble, etc.

must have their integrity carefully checked and then thoroughly cleaned
and degreased with Ultracare HD Cleaner before bonding.
The adhesive may only be applied once the surface is dry.

Wooden floors:

make sure wooden floorboards are rigidly fixed to the substrate.

Remove old paint or wax with sandpaper down to the bare wood, and
remove all dust.
The adhesive may then be applied.

Spreading the adhesive

Spread the adhesive on the substrate using a MAPEI notched trowel for
wood.
Wood has to be laid within approximately 50-60 minutes under normal
temperature conditions (at +23°C and 50% R.H.).
If left-over adhesive from previous applications is to be used, open
the bag, remove any formed skin on the surface of the adhesive and proceed as
above.
The layer of skin helps to preserve the left-over adhesive.

SET TO LIGHT FOOT TRAFFIC:

Floors may be walked on after approximately 12 hours.

POLISHING:

The floor may be polished after 3 days.
Residual adhesive on the surface of the floor may be easily removed by
using Cleaner L.

CLEANING:

Ultrabond Eco S955 1K may be removed using Cleaner L or other
special cleaning solutions while still fresh.
Once hardened, it must be removed mechanically or with Pulicol 2000.

CONSUMPTION:

Consumption varies with uniformity of substrate, the back of the
flooring and type of trowel used.
approx. 800-1200 g/m².

PACKAGING:

15kg aluminium bags contained in plastic drums.
Boxes containing 20 x 600 ml soft cartridges.

STORAGE:

12 months in its original, well-sealed container stored under normal
conditions.
