More about the product STIX A800 PREMIUM is an acrylic adhesive with very low VOC emissions classified EC1 Plus, LEED, BREEAM, A , FDES, EMICODE and IMO certified. Especially designed for LVT, linoleum and rubber. it has a high grab effect in a very short time and its mechanical features allow to balance all severe ambient conditions met on sites. It’s a universal multi-use adhesive able to bond most soft floor covering met daily, as well at the more specialised or difficult coverings. It can also be used on sport facilities, shower PVC system, PVC onto compact existing PVC. For floor and wall applications. Uses For all types of resilient flooring in most applications. It’s a universal multi-use adhesive able to install most of the soft flooring daily met as well as the very difficult ones. Associated floor coverings: – LVT in strips and tiles – Homogeneous PVC – Heterogeneous compact PVC o Heterogeneous acoustic PVC – PVC on old compact PVC – Rubber tiles and sheets up to 4 mm thick – Linoleum tiles and sheets – Carpets with all kind of backing – Natural fibres on latex backing (coir, sisal, sea rush) – Shower concepts PVC floor and wall – Wall protection panels Surface preparation A reading of 85% RH or less confirms that the subfloor is satisfactorily dry. Where this has not been attained, it is necessary to apply a Bostik Ultraseal Vapour Barrier or Bostik Moisture Seal to suppress residual moisture. For further information, contact Technical Services. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of voids, curing compounds, loose materials, oil, grease or similar that can affect adhesion. All surfaces must be structurally sound before application. The subfloor should be flat to 3mm over 3m. That is, no gap more than 3mm beneath the straight edge when placed on the slab. If exceeding this, prime the substrate with Ultra Prime A510 and level the area with Ultra Level C500 with (Refer to relevant product Technical Data Sheet for detailed application instructions). Where previous adhesives (PVA or bituminous adhesives) or contamination (waxes, coatings, etc.) is suspected or in evidence, thorough removal of all such contamination must be carried out. Concrete slabs should be built in accordance with Residential Footings and Slabs Code AS2870. Application Select appropriate trowel size and application method for the floor covering and apply the adhesive evenly onto the subfloor, holding the trowel at an angle of 60°. Leave the adhesive for the appropriate open time. To minimise the effect of adhesive serrations showing through thin floor coverings, pre-wet a roller with adhesive and flatten what has been applied to the subfloor. Drying time The waiting time must be respected to minimize the risk of puddle formation (15-20min for PVC and 5-10min for rubber and linoleum). Lay the floor covering while the adhesive remains tacky and receptive. Bond the floor covering by applying a rubbing block and/or roller to expel trapped air and ensure good transfer of the adhesive. Repeat after 30 minutes to expel trapped air and ensure good contact. Do not weld the joints before the adhesive has had sufficient time to develop a good bond (approx. 24 hours after installation). Important notes – Do not apply STIX A800 PREMIUM on a dense furnished concrete surface without prior abrading or sanding back the surface to obtain mechanical key and levelled surface using smoothing compound. Refer to a Bostik Technical Representative. – If STIX A300 MULTI FLOOR is used over plasterboard for wall application, our primer Ultra PrimeGrip A520 will have to be apply prior to STIX A300 MULTI FLOOR application. Ensure Ultra PrimeGrip A520 is perfectly dry before spread STIX A300 MULTI FLOOR over. A longer waiting time of the adhesive might need to be appropriated (20-30min) to ensure a good bonding of wall covering. – Requires atmospheric moisture to cure properly. In low humidity conditions below 70% refer to a Bostik Technical Representative. It should not be used in totally confined or air free spaces. – STIX A800 PREMIUM is not a waterproofing membrane and should not be used for waterproofing a subfloor. – STIX A800 PREMIUM should not be installed on wet, contaminated or friable surfaces. Storage & shelf life Store in original sealed container, under cover and in dry conditions. STIX A800 PREMIUM has a shelf life of 15 months in the original unopened containers, if stored between 5°C and 25°C.
