GRIPiTe V10 20L
GRIPiTe V10 20L
GRIPiTe® V10 is a pressure-sensitive adhesive – permanently tacky water-based Acrylic Emulsion. For use with installing backed carpet tiles or similar dimensionally stable products only requiring a “tackifi er” onto cement-based floor substrates and access flooring panels.
The purpose of using pressure-sensitive adhesive is to stabilise the installation of the desired floor covering, to prevent lateral movement but enable the lifting of tiles to give access to the access panels or substrate underneath and then replace the tile later, still retaining adhesion properties. Pressure-sensitive adhesive also allows for easy tile rotation In office environments.
Additional Product Data
The preparation of the subfl oor is critical to ensure successful installation of any fl oor covering and must therefore be strictly adhered to, too 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-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. should the floor covering manufacturers’ moisture level specification differ from that in point 4 the lower of the two should be maintained.
- 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 floor flatness conformity. • Access flooring panels must be secure, and free of contaminants, as mentioned above.
- The floor temperature must be maintained constantly above 10°c before, during and after the application, flashoff and final drying of the adhesive. The floor temperature must not deviate more than 19°c from the Initial temperature reading during 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.
SUBFLOOR SURFACE FINISH
The subfloor surface must conform to the requirements set out by the floor covering manufacturer to ensure the floor covering maintains Integrity throughout its life span. should the surface not conform to that required, the subfloor can be rectified utilizing the appropriate LEVELiTe® self-levelling compound.
