SUITABILITY:
ROBERTS R656 Pressure Sensitive Adhesive is suitable for use with:
- PVC Backed Carpet tiles
- Cushion Back Carpet Tiles
- Double bond underlays to substrate
- Carpet tiles to Double bond Underlays
- Securing reinforced Vinyl Composition (VCT) Tiles
- Vinyl Planks with an embossed backing system

SETTING TIME:
- Roberts 656 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.
APPLICATION:
- For securing Double-Bond underlays to a substrate, applying the adhesive with a 1.6mm x1.6mm “V1” notched trowel is recommended.
- Bonding Carpet Tiles to 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 is also recommended.
- For securing reinforced Vinyl 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, the second application of
adhesive may be required, or a 2.4mm x 2.4mm “V2” notched trowel is recommended. - Roberts 656 Universal 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, therefore, 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 completely dries; this will cause some transfer onto the back of the material.
- Complete installation according to Floorcoverings manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring the installation is rolled in both directions with the recommended roller weight.
- Do not allow heavy traffic for 24 hours.
CLEAN UP:
- Clean tools immediately after use with warm soapy water. The dried adhesive may be cleaned off using ROBERTS R550 Latex/Acrylic Adhesive Remover applied to a damp cloth, then rubbed gently over the dried adhesive or with RLA Handy Wipes.
