GRIPiTe® H80 is a one-part silicone modified polymer hybrid adhesive.
The preparation of the subfloor is critical to ensure successful installation of any floor covering and must therefore be strictly adhered to, to ensure longevity and performance of the floor and floor covering for the duration of Its lifespan.
- The substrate must be structurally sound.
- Free of loose granular particles.
- Free of excess dust.
- Dry – where wood or absorbent floor coverings are concerned screed moisture levels must be below 3% using a VI-D4 Moisture meter and or below 75%RH.
- Adhere to the floor covering manufacturer’s specification for moisture levels.
-
Free of any contamination, laitance, old adhesive, grease, oils, wax, sealers, and any substance that can inhibit adhesion.
- Adhere to the floor covering manufacturer’s specification for fl oor flatness conformity. • The floor temperature must be maintained constantly above 10°c and below 30°c during and after the application, flash-off, and final drying of the adhesive.
- the floor temperature must not fluctuate more than 19°c from the Initial temperature reading during Installation.
- dimensionally unstable products should be protected from direct sunlight, excessive fluctuations in temperature and humidity before during and after Installation.
-
Further subfloor preparation information can be made available on request.
SCREED MOISTURE
Should the screed moisture levels exceed that stipulated above, and that mandated by the fl oor covering manufacturer it is imperative that the substrate be prepared with VAPORiTe Plus, or Premium depending on the application and complexity thereof. Further information pertaining to the correct product for the application can be made available on request.
SUBFLOOR SURFACE FINISH
The subfl oor surface must conform to the requirements set out by the fl oor covering manufacturer to ensure the fl oor covering maintains Integrity throughout its life span. should the surface not conform to that required, the subfl oor can be rectifi ed utilizing the appropriate LEVELiTe self-levelling compound.
