628 EUROSTAR RAPID

Product Typification

Basis	:	Acrylic ester copolymers, polyacrylonitrile, copolymers of butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and styrene, mineral fillers, thickeners, wetting agents, defoaming agents, fibres, water.
Colour	:	Beige.
Consistency	:	Thick liquid.

Product advantages:

High quality, fiber-reinforced, strong, dispersion-based adhesive developing for wet-set bonding, immediate bonding power with very high initial strength.
Ideal for the installation of vinyl- (LVT), CV- floor coverings in sheets and tiles, for rubber floor coverings in sheets with sanded backing (e.g. Noraplan) as well as in tiles up to 1 m x 1 m up to 4 mm (e.g. Norament).
For installation on standard-compliant, fully filled, absorbent subfloors.
Immediate bonding power prevents installation related tiles getting out of place.
Fiber reinforcement improves dimension stability and reduces the risk of indentation of the ready installed floor covering (hospital bed wheels resistance).
The product can be used on underfloor heating.
Suitable for use with chair castors according to DIN EN 12529.
For indoor use.
Very low emission EMICODE EC 1 Plus.
Emission tested building product according to DIBt principles.

Remarks	:	Technical information and safety data sheets of any laying materials and floor coverings used must be observed! Allow floorings to air condition in the rooms before laying. The coverings must be relaxed and laid flat. During the setting phase, the direct influence of heat/solar radiation and point loads must be avoided. In order to minimise residual impressions as far as possible, PVC coverings should always be laid in a wet adhesive bed and immediately rub well to completely crush the adhesive letters. The work progress is to be set up in such a way that a flash-off time, at wetting of the reverse side of the flooring is guaranteed, is not exceeded. If the insertion time is exceeded, during which the adhesive grooves can still be completely crushed, standing grooves remain, which can be marked on the upper side of thin coverings, or can be crushed under point loads. This leads to visible deformations in the floor covering structure. With regard to such remarks, any claims arising therefrom are excluded. Welding/jointing of the flooring should be carried out the next day at the earliest. EMICODE, further information at www.emicode.com. Wear protective gloves / eye protection.

* The mentioned values have been established in our laboratory and must be considered as guidelines in view of possible variations in climatic circumstances, subfloor compositions and layer thickness.

Consumption:
approx 250 g/m², depending on the condition of the subfloor.

Substrate:

The substrate must be pressure- and tension-resistant, permanently dry, free of cracks and dust, even and free of layers that reduce adhesion.
Adhesion-reducing layers, old material residues must be removed by suitable mechanical measures in accordance with the specifications of DIN 18365.
For levelling the substrate use recommended Eurocol levelling compounds/primers.
The installation materials to be used must be suitable for the substrate and the intended use.

User manual:

Before use, temper the product according to the processing conditions.
Stir before use!
Depending on the type of flooring, apply the adhesive with a notched trowel to the subfloor over the entire surface and evenly without adhesive nests. The back of the flooring must be completely wetted with adhesive in scored format. Worn-out spatulas need to be replaced in time to guarantee the minimum adhesive consumption.
Coverings must be laid in the adhesive bed which is still wet.
The necessary flash-off time depends on the amount of adhesive (toothed strip), temperature, humidity and the absorbency of the subfloor.
When finger-testing, the adhesive must have a soft centre, must be tacky, pull threads, but must not smear.
Depending on the room climate and the absorbency of the substrate, the air-conditioned covering should be pushed into the adhesive bed immediately or after the flash-off time specified in the technical data, rubbed in and rolled on. Air pockets under the covering must be avoided or removed immediately.
Head ends and non-flat covering edges must always be rolled in.
If necessary, rub or roll the top ends, seams or other hollow areas again approx. 15 minutes after installation.

Working conditions:

At least 15 °C floor temperature,

at least 18°C material and room temperature,

35-75% relative humidity, recommended <65%.
