Mapei adhesives: An evolution

Mapei adhesives: An evolution

Mapei’s comprehensive range of Ultrabond Eco adhesives is once again evolving. New adhesives are being blended in with the existing quality adhesives already present in a comprehensive range that continues to adapt to fit an ever- changing product range and style to keep up with modern trends and ensure the correct adhesive suits whatever flooring product it is required for.

If ever a floor failure has occurred, in general, and if it is associated with the adhesive, the adhesive type that was chosen is usually the reason. Using a non-permanent adhesive in areas with temperature fluctuations can result in vinyl ‘tenting’ or ‘gapping’ when the room gets hot or cold. It is imperative that using the right type of adhesive is applied to ensure a successful installation.

Mapei have a comprehensive adhesive range for every situation, and if you are in any doubt our Technical team will be happy to assist you. Mapei have introduced three new adhesives into the market, all of which complement the existing range.

Ultrabond Eco V4 Evolution

Newly launched in the UK, universal adhesive Ultrabond Eco V4 Evolution has already established itself as a quality adhesive throughout Europe. Part of the changing face of LVT, where traditional methods would test both the ability of the fitter, as well as the strength and versatility of the adhesive, Ultrabond Eco V4 Evolution benefits from being a single-part adhesive with an extended working time, allowing extra time for the floor layer to install even small mosaic tiles while minimising the possibility of ‘late placement’.

Ultrabond Eco V4 Evolution can be used as either a wet lay permanent bond adhesive, or a transitional Pressure Sensitive adhesive for fitting dimensionally stable floor coverings to both impervious and non-absorbent substrates. This adhesive can be used for fitting all types of vinyl and rubber sheet on floors and walls, and is also suitable for use with textile floor coverings.

Ultrabond Eco TX3

Ultrabond Eco TX3, Mapei’s newest carpet adhesive, can be used to adhere all types of carpet with all types of carpet backings, including jute, polypropylene, Action Bac, woven, foam and needle punch. This adhesive is also suitable for fitting linoleum. The main benefits of this adhesive include its high initial tack, its ease of application and its strong bond once cured. It is a single-part adhesive, so no mixing is necessary, although a quick stir is advisable if the product has been standing for a while. Coverage for a 15kg unit is approximately 40m².

Ultrabond Eco Tack TX+

The new Mapei tackifier is an acrylic based adhesive, designed to offer a permanently tacky film when dry, ensuring carpet tiles are held in place, and for ease of replacement when required. The adhesive is also suitable for loose lay LVTs to help minimise slipping or movement.

Like all other adhesives in the range, Mapei’s Ultrabond Eco Tack TX+ is certified EC1 Plus for its ultra-low odour. It has an impressive coverage of between 50/100gm² and comes in 15kg units. The buckets are rectangular for ease of application when using a roller.

These three new offerings fully complement the existing extensive range of Mapei adhesives. The range, as well as Mapei’s comprehensive levelling and smoothing compounds, surface membranes and primers, ensure all scenarios within the flooring range can be met with full confidence that the quality of products recommended are of the highest standard.
