Adesilex G19 2 Part Constructile Glue 5kg

Product Description

Adesilex G19 is a two-component adhesive made from an epoxy-polyurethane polymer, component A, and a special hardener, component B. When the two components are mixed together, they form an even coloured paste which is easy to apply with a suitable notched trowel. After setting (around 24 hours), which takes place by means of a chemical reaction without any shrinking, Adesilex G19 becomes though and resistant to moisture, water, heat and atmospheric agents, and adheres extremely well to almost all materials normally used in the building industry.

Features:

• Strong, tough, elastic adhesive for general purpose use
• Suitable for non-absorbent substrates or moisture-sensitive substrates (wood, metal, ceramic, stone, resin, PVC, rubber, etc.)
• Suits interior and exterior applications
• Specifically developed for the installation of rubber athletic tracks
• Universal adhesive for rubber, PVC and all common resilient and textile floor covering types

Ideal for:

• Rubber athletic tracks and multisport flooring on asphalt
• Recycled rubber shock-absorbent flooring on asphalt in playgrounds
• Resilient flooring for indoor sports flooring, also onto waterproofing fiberglass underlays such as Mapelay
• Homogeneous and heterogeneous PVC, sheets and tiles
• CV floor coverings
• LVT
• Semi-flexible quartz vinyl floor tiles (VTC)
• Textile floor coverings with all common backings (latex-primed, PVC and polyurethane foam, natural jute and Action-Bac® backed carpets etc.)
• Needlepunch woven flooring also in latex
• Flocked textile flooring
• Linoleum with all kind of backings
• Polyolefin-based and chlorine-free floor coverings
• PUR floor coverings

APPLICATION

Surface Preparation:

Substrates must be dry, level, sound, mechanically strong, free of dust, loose particles, cracks, paints, wax, oil, rust, traces of gypsum or other products that can interfere with bonding. The regulations of each country must be strictly followed. Commonly, the moisture content must be as follows: max. 2%-2.5% for cementitious substrates, max. 0.5% for gypsum or anhydrite-based substrates. It is essential to make sure there is no rising damp present. Un-bonded screeds laid over light-weight concrete or over insulation and screeds laid directly onto earth must be separated by a vapour barrier to prevent rising damp.

To repair cracks in the substrate, consolidate and waterproof screeds, form new fast-drying screeds and level uneven substrates, please refer to the relevant MAPEI documentation or contact the Technical Services.

External cement based surfaces may be levelled off with Planicrete mixed with cement and sand (with suitable particle size) or with Adesilex P4. Use Adesilex G19, Adesilex G19 Fast, Adesilex G20 or Adesilex G20 Fast (eventually mixed with suitable quartz or crumbled rubber) for repairing or smoothing asphalt surfaces. In these cases install the flooring with Adesilex G19 as soon as the smoothing layer is set enough to take light foot traffic.

Mixing:

Blend the two components together with a mechanical mixer until an even paste is obtained. Setting times and pot life depend on the ambient temperature. Setting times are much longer if the temperature is lower than +10°C. Note the ratio must be strictly adhered to - component A : component B = 94 : 6. Any variation in dosage will compromise the setting of the product.

Placement:

The choice of trowel depends on the type of flooring to be installed and on the substrate: for smooth backings and smooth substrates use MAPEI No. 1 or TKB A1, A2 trowels; for textured and impervious backings and substrates use MAPEI No. 2, 3, 4 or TKB B1, B2, C1 trowels. Only apply as much adhesive as can be covered within the open time (60 minutes) and with good transfer to the backing of the covering.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for laying technique. Lay in covering with short waiting time into the still wet adhesive bed: the adhesive ridge has to be impressed. Take care to avoid air pockets and carefully rub the floor covering down to ensure good adhesive transfer to the backing. Avoid excessive stress at the seams. After installing the floor covering, it is always necessary to carefully roll it down again or to firmly rub it down.

Refer to the Technical Data Sheet for further information.

Clean Up:

Adesilex G19 may be removed from flooring, tools, clothing etc. with alcohol before it hardens. Once hardened, it must be removed mechanically.

Storage:

Adesilex G19 remains stable for at least 24 months under normal environmental conditions in its original, sealed packaging.
