Safecoat 3 in 1 Adhesive is a low odor, not toxic, water-based adhesive designed for hard composition wall and floor tiles and carpeting. Use on: Safecoat 3 in 1 Adhesive is recommended for adhering floor tiles made of ceramic, vinyl, parquet, formica and slate; for lightweight wall tiles; and for any carpet application where a typical carpet adhesive would be used. Coverage: 50-60 square feet per GALLON with 1/8. notched trowel. 100-120 square feet per gallon with 1/16. notched trowel. Advantages / Significant Benefits: - Effective, easy to use adhesive. - Low odor, non-offensive to installer and occupant. - Safely used by and for the chemically sensitive. - Very low VOC content meets or exceeds all federal and state air quality regulations, including California. Surface Preparation: All substrates to receive adhesive and overlays must be sound and intact. Any loose areas should be repaired or anchored to produce a firm footing for adhesion. All surfaces must be cleaned of any grease, oils, dust, dirt, wax, unsound prior adhesive and other foreign materials. Washing with a low odor, not toxic cleaner like SafeChoice Super Clean is recommended. Surface must be completely dry and stable prior to application. For maximum adhesion, apply a thin coating of Safecoat Safe Seal to the substrate and if possible the back of the tile before spreading adhesive and laying the tiles. Application: Always have adequate ventilation. For mexican pavers and ceramic tile, application should be made with 1/8. or larger notched trowel (commonly v-notched for walls and square notched for floors, but consult your installer), except that a 3/16. notched trowel should be used for wall tiles. All other applications require 1/16.. Due to rapid cure do not spread the adhesive over areas larger than 16-20 square feet. Allow adhesive to set up or .tack-up. for a few minutes (typically not more than 10-15 depending upon temperature and humidity), and then insert tiles into mastic. All tile must be at room temperature and above 55 degrees. Maintain a wet, tacky surface during installation of the tile. Do not allow adhesive to skim over. If a film forms or adhesive skims over, or sets up so that it is no longer sticky, scrape all adhesive off the surface and reapply. Allow 24 hours for 3 in 1 Adhesive to cure out before opening to traffic or for any further surface filling. A trial application is recommended to assure proper adhesion can be obtained. Testing is particularly important for parquet and wooden floor material, which varies considerably in consistency and may have a tendency to warp. Again, seal the bottom of the material with Safecoat Safe Seal to help provide a moisture barrier. |
