FOR BONDING:

Commercial Carpet Adhesive is designed to be used for bonding both dual bond underlay to the subfloor and the carpet to the slab underlay. It is suitable for adhering Hessian back, Tufted back, most backed woven carpets and woven polypropylene backed carpets.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

To be in accordance with the current Australian Standard
“Floor Coverings – 1884-2021 Resilient Sheet & Tiles – Laying & Maintenance Practices” or Australian Standard 2455.2.2019 “Textile Floor Coverings – Installation Practice”.

All surfaces to be bonded shall be absorbent, dry, smooth, sound and clean.
Subfloors must also be free of wax, grease, oil, polishes, old adhesive, curing compounds, high levels of moisture hydrostatic pressure and any other impurities that may affect adhesion.

If mechanical preparation is required prepare the floor using recommended preparation methods such as shot blasting, diamond grinding, to provide a roughened, clean, sound, and open porous surface.

Thoroughly vacuum loose material and dust.

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 prior to priming or the installation of any floorcoverings.

APPLICATION:

Apply adhesive with the recommended notched trowel.

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.
