GRIPiTe® V20 is a general-purpose carpeting adhesive, designed for needle punch broadloom and tiles. GRIPiTe® V20 is water based and contains no VOC’s which fully complies with the GBCSA’s requirements for a “Green” adhesive.
GRIPiTe® V20 is available 20 Litre plastic containers.
In the application of GRIPiTe® V20, the substrate must be sound, free of any loose particles or dust. The surface must be thoroughly swept or vacuumed prior to the application.
Any contamination of the substrate, such as Old Adhesives, Oil, Grease, Paint, Bitumen, skim plaster or any other substance which can inhibit the adhesion must be removed.
Ensure the screed moisture content is within the allowable limit to accept the covering being installed. Should this fall outside the allowable limits VAPORiTe®+Plus must be applied as per method statement.
GRIPiTe® V20 has an approximate spread rate of 4m²/litre when applied using the prescribed notched trowel, on a LEVELiTe® surface.
iTe Products recommends the use of the notched trowel blade supplied when using GRIPiTe® V20.
GRIPiTe® V20 is poured onto the floor and evenly spread with the notched trowel. The adhesive must be allowed to flash off and develop its tack which happens approximately 10min after application. This is highly dependent on atmospheric conditions thus this time may vary. At this point the floor covering is laid into the adhesive allowing sufficient transfer onto the back of the floor covering (If the floor covering is laid in too late insufficient transfer occurs and the adhesion is compromised and weak).
The floor covering must be rolled immediately using a minimum of a 68Kg heavy roller to promote transfer and adhesion. A final roll must be performed over the entire area once the covering has been laid.
12 Months – When stored in a cool dry place
Tools and equipment must be washed with water and a mild detergent immediately after use. The floor covering can be cleaned with water and a mild detergent before GRIPiTe® V20 has set. Once GRIPiTe® V20 has cured, CLEANiTe® will remove it effectively.
