Substrate Preparation:

The subfloor must be sound, load bearing, level, dry, freefrom cracks, clean and free from material which wouldimpair adhesion (e.g. dirt, oil, grease). The surface must bevacuumed, primed and levelled thoroughly. Suitable primersand levelling compounds can be found in the UZIN productguide. The substrate must be tested in accordance withapplicable standards and bulletins and any deficiencies mustbe reported. Always allow primer and levelling compoundto dry well all the way through.

Refer to the Product Data Sheets for other products used.

Thicknesses of levelling compound:

3 non absorbent or moisture sensitive substrates � 2 mm(with rubber 3 mm)

3 new calcium sulphate screed � 1 – 2 mm (with rubber2 mm)

3 on existing substrates �mind. 2 mm (with rubber 3 mm)

Application:

1. Apply adhesive uniformly with suitable notched trowelonto the substrate and allow to dry partially accordingto the application amount, the indoor climate, theabsorbency of the substrate and the type of floor cov-ering. Do not apply more adhesive than can be laidwith good wetting of the back of the covering withinthe working time.

2. Install the floor covering with short open time; theadhesive groove should be pressed out. Rug in or rollout or apply weight against extreme flooring deforma-tion or mill first. Ensure that air is not trapped underthe covering. Allow the area to rest for 20 minutes andthen roll out again or rub in at edge and seam area.

UZIN KE 2000 S

Wet Set Adhesive Method: Install the floor covering, rollout and rework. If the adhesive is still cream-white ormerely dried on the surface the tack is not yet present or isonly minor.Double-Drop-Method: Install the floor covering wet andrub in. Fold back immediately and allow backing of floorcovering and substrate to partially dry until tacking can befelt (finger test see picture below). The adhesive ridge shouldnot be totally transparent. Install the floor covering again,roll out and rework.Wall applications: Apply the adhesive with a lamb’s woolroller onto the prepared wall, work immediately with theappropriate notch trowel and allow to partially dry. Installand rub in the covering.Contact applications: Depending on the type of coveringapply the adhesive with a trowel or a roller on the backsideof the covering and the substrate. After drying of the adhe-sive, install floor covering and roll out.

3. Remove adhesive residues while fresh with water.

Partial drying and installation time of variouspressure-sensitive adhesives:

PVC sheet installation on UZIN NC 170 LevelStar, notch size A 2, at 20 °C and 65%relative humidity.

The open time required for pressure-sensitive adhesives could beminimised with the raw material choice of the UZIN KE 2000 Swithout shortening the installation. This provides greater certaintyto the installer and fewer restrictions with the different construc-tion site conditions. The floor covering can therefore be installedearlier with many applications. The installer becomes significantlyfaster through the earlier installation option; the adhesive isthereby better pressed out. This has a positive effect on the overalllook of the installed floor covering area; the floor covering liesflatter and quieter.

The above information is based on our experience and careful investigations. The variety of associated materials and different construction and working conditions cannot be indi-vidually checked or influenced by us. The quality of your work depends, therefore, on your own professional judgement and product usage. If in doubt, conduct a small test or obtaintechnical advice. Observe the installation recommendations of the covering manufacturer.

Important Notes:

3 Shelf life minimum 12 months in original packaging whenstored in relatively cool conditions. Frost-resistant up to–14 °C. Carefully and tightly reseal opened buckets and usethe content as quickly as possible. Allow adhesive to reachroom temperature before use.

3 Optimum work conditions are 18 – 25 °C, floor temperatureabove 15 °C / 59 °F and relative air humidity below 65 %. Lowtemperatures and high air humidity lengthen, whilst hightemperatures and high air humidity shorten the drying time.

3 Humid substrates may cause secondary emissions and odours.Therefore a good drying of the levelling compound must beobserved on levelled substrates.

3 Direct bonding on old adhesive residues can cause inter -actions and lead to unpleasant odour. Therefore old layersshould ideally be removed. In all cases adhesive residues mustbe reworked with a barrier primer and levelled generouslywith a self-levelling compound at sufficient thickness (usually3 mm)

3 Before bonding floor coverings must be adequately acclima-tised and free from tension and must be adapted to the com-mon indoor climate for future use.

3 In case of extreme temperatures from exposure to light, heavymechanical strain from pallet trucks, fork lifts, etc. or whenexposed to wetness from the top, a synthetic resin adhesivesuch as UZIN KR 430 must be used. Obtain application advicein case of doubt.

3 The following standards, regulations and publications are appli-cable and especially recommended:– DIN 18 365 “Working with floor coverings”– TKB specification sheet “Assessment and preparation of sur-faces for floor covering and wood floor covering”

– BEB specification sheet “Assessment and preparation of sur-faces”

– TKB specification sheet “Adhesion of PVC floor coverings”– TKB specification sheet “Adhesion of elastomeric floor cov-erings”

– TKB specification sheet “Adhesion of linoleum floor cover-ing”

– TKB specification sheet “Adhesion of textile floor covering”
