Polymax -Adesilex VZ Contact Adhesive

WHERE TO USE
Polymax Adesilex VZ is a double coatrubber based contact adhesive providing immediate adhesion.

Particularly suited for the fixing of rubber floor on vertical surfaces where immediate grip is required.

Where to use:

POLYMAX ADESILEX VZhas a low viscosity and can be used with most substrates and also on vertical walls for immediate grip.
Typical substrates include walls, floors, ceilings, wood, hardboard, metal and light alloys (in case of doubt always carry out a preliminary test on small test area)
After setting POLYMAX ADESILEX VZ has high adhesion and elasticity.Resistance to temperature and ageing is also excellent.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

Preparation of the substrate The substrate must be uniformly dry, flat, free of cracks, resistant to compression and tension; free of dust and loose particles, varnish, wax, oil, rust, traces of gypsum and products that may prevent bonding. Check the moisture content throughout the entire thickness of the substrate with a carbide or electric hygrometer, keeping in mind that the latter gives only approximate values. It is essential to ensure that there is no rising damp present. The humidity content must be as prescribed: for cement substrates max. 2.5-3%, for those with a gypsum or anhydrite base max. 0.5%.
Acclimatization Before starting the installation, make sure that the floor or wall coverings the adhesive and the substrate are acclimatized to the recommended temperature. Floor and wall coverings must be removed from the packaging several hours before installation; the sheets must be freely laid or at least loosened from the rolls to allow acclimatization and the reduction of tensions produced by the packaging.
Spreading the adhesive POLYMAX ADESILEX VZ is applied evenly with a fine toothed trowel both to the substrate and to the backing of the covering. Wait for the complete evaporation of the solvents: maximum 10-20 minutes at 23°C. Very absorbent substrates may require a priming coat.
POLYMAX ADESILEX VZ is inflammable: Make sure that there are no naked flames in proximity to the work area, particularly during the laying of the adhesive. Ensure adequate ventilation of the environment until the installation is completed.
Installing the covering Lay the covering after the complete evaporation of the solvent (do not wait too long): in practice, the correct time is easily determined, wait for the moment when the adhesive is still sticky to the touch without actually sticking to the finger Then proceed to apply the covering, being very careful as errors in laying can not be corrected due to the immediate bond of the adhesive. Apply pressure on the bonded surface by means of a suitable metal roller or wooden trowel (or similar). Adhesion is immediate, but complete setting is achieved after a few days.
