25KG Floorbond CTT Solvent-free Acrylic Emulsion Carpet Tile Tackifier Per Box UK
Description:
A solvent free modified acrylic emulsion formulated to provide a permanently tacky film for the removable fixing
of "loose lay" carpet tiles. This enables the tiles to be easily lifted and replaced when required. The adhesive is
non staining, resistant to plasticiser migration and may be applied by either roller or brush
Uses
Bond It CTT is a recommend for installing carpet tiles with the
following backing: PVC, PVC/Glass Fibre, Bitumen/Felt or non
woven fabric, APP and other polymer backings including
polyurethane, Hessian.
It may be applied to most common substrates, including concrete,
cementitious screeds, chipboard** hardboard, plywood and
smoothing compounds and metal access floor panels. It may be
used over existing well bonded resilient floor coverings provided
they are thoroughly cleaned of any wax, polish or other
contaminants.
It is suitable for use where there are underfloor heating systems.
However, heating should be switched off at least 48 hours before
and after the installation of the floor covering.
** Please note that some chipboard products have been treated
preservatives and for fire proofing or moisture proofing and may
be unsuitable for adhesion. Please check boards and contact
technical services.
Preparation
All phases of the installation should comply with the latest
editions of the following standards:
‐ BS 8102 Code of Practice - for protection of building against
water from the ground.
‐ BS 5325 Code of Practice - for the installation of textile floor
coverings.
‐ BS 8203 Code of Practice - for installation of resilient floor
coverings.
Sub‐Floor:
Ensure the sub-floor is clean, sound, dry and free from
contaminants that may hinder adhesion, including surface
hardeners and additives. It should have an effective damp-proof
membrane and be tested in accordance with British Standards,
using a properly calibrated and insulated hygrometer. A reading of
75% RH or less indicates the sub-floor is suitably dry.
Mechanically remove any surface treatments or "friable" areas to expose a sound concrete base. Repair any deep
indentations in the sub-floor with a suitable patch repair product.
Where floors require smoothing apply a suitable smoothing
compound at a minimum of 3mm thickness. Surfaces should be
thoroughly cleaned (preferable vacuumed).
Existing resilient floor coverings must firmly bonded to a sound
sub-floor and all contaminants (wax, polish etc) must be removed.
Priming
Prime boards and other porous surfaces with a
Bond It PVA BOND (diluted 1:4 with clean water) or
other recommended primers, and allowed to dry.
This is imperative with hardboard, chipboard and
plywood. Ensure the floor covering manufacturer
recommends the floor covering for use with the
particular substrate.
Application
Apply an even coating of CTT with either a roller or brush and
allow to dry to a clear tacky film (approx 30 - 40 minutes) before
placing the tiles. The time will vary due to room and floor
temperatures, porosity of sub-floor and thickness of adhesive
layer. Good airflow through the rooms will shorten waiting time.
When laying on metal access floor panels care must be taken to
ensure that the adhesive does not flow between panel joints.
Please Note: Placing tiles before the adhesive has dried to a clear
film may result in permanent bonding.
Finishing
Whilst an immediate bond will be formed once the tiles are placed
it is advisable (and if recommended by floor covering
manufacture) that either a weighted roller or glider is used to
ensure good contact and to eliminate any air bubbles.
Cleaning
Clean tools immediately after use with water whilst the adhesive
is still wet. Uncured adhesive can be removed from the floor
covering with a damp cloth but do not allow the adhesive to dry
