Packaging and Colour

Colour: White Packaging: 4kg bucket

 
Shelf life

12 months in unopened packaging in a cool and dry storage place at temperatures between +5°C and +25°C.

 
Chemical resistance

Good resistance to water, aliphatic solvents, mineral oils, grease, diluted inorganic acids and alkalis. Poor resistance to aromatic solvents, concentrated acids and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

 
Substrates

Substrates: all usual building substrates, Both porous and non-porous surfaces

Nature: T Rex Floor and Wall Adhesive should be applied on a rigid, clean, permanently dry, dust and grease free surface which do not contain any loose parts, paint, wax, oil or other contaminants. Irregularities such as remaining concrete leveling, old adhesives may adversely affect adhesion. These need preferably to be removed mechanically for example by sanding or blasting.

We recommend a preliminary adhesion test on any substrate.

NOTICE: bonding plastics like PMMA (e.g. Plexi® glass), polycarbonate (e.g. Makrolon® or Lexan®) in stress loaded applications can give rise to stress cracking and crazing in these substrates. The use of T Rex Floor and Wall Adhesive is not recommended in these applications. T Rex Floor and Wall Adhesive is not suitable for use on natural stone because of risk for staining. There is no adhesion on PE, PP, PTFE (Teflon®) and bituminous substrates.

 
Application method

• For more detailed info, refer to the current Technical Data Sheet on our website prior to use
• Surface must be dry, clean, free from dust, grease / contaminants.
• Apply at temperatures between +5ºC to +35ºC.
• Apply the adhesive with the aid of an adhesive trowel under an angle of 60°C on to the substrate.
• Clean up: Uncured with Soudal Swipex, Cleaner & Degreaser, white spirits. When cured removed with Sealant Remover.
• Store in cool and dry place between +5ºC and +25ºC

 
Remarks

• T Rex Floor and Wall Adhesive can be used for bonding of natural stone, but it cannot be used as a joint sealant on this type of surface. T Rex Floor and Wall Adhesive can therefore only be used on the bottom of natural stone tiles.
• T Rex Floor and Wall Adhesive can not be used as a glazing sealant.
• Given the great diversity in available paints it is recommended to do a compatibility test prior to application.
• Given the great diversity of possible surfaces and Artificial turf backings it is recommended to do an adhesion test on both substrates prior to application.
• Do not use in applications where continuous water immersion is possible.
• When applying, make sure not to spill any sealant on the surface of materials.

 
Health- and Safety Recommendations
