Packaging:

• 13Kg metal pails (10.1 litre);
• 600ml sausages (20 sausages per box)

Application method and tools:

• Full surface bonding - SikaBond T52 FC is applied to the properly prepared substrate directly from the pail and uniformly distributed by notched trowel. Press the wood floor elements firmly into the adhesive so that the underside is fully wetted. The elements can the be joined together using a hammer and a impact block. Many types of wood floors have to be tapped from the top. A distance of 10-15mm from the wall to the wood floor must be observed.
• Cordon application: After the preparation of sausage and gun, extrude a triangular shaped cordon of adhesive approximately 10mm high and 8mm wide at 100-250mm centres (depend on wood floor type) on the properly prepared subfloor. Press the wood floor elements firmly into the adhesive (at right angles with adhesive cordons). The elements can then be joined together using a hammer and a impact block. The require distance from the wall to the wood floor in the laying instruction from the wood floor manufacturer must be observed.
• Fresh, uncured adhesive remaining on the wood floor surface must be removed immediately with a clean cloth and, if necessary, cleaned with Sika Remover-208 or Sika Handclean cloth. Hardened - cured material can only be mechanically removed.
