Timber Flooring Adhesives
BOSTIK, SMART ADHESIVES.Bostik is a leading, global adhesive specialist in multiple markets. With
the new brand, Bostik Smart Adhesives, we enhance our common
identity with global consistency.
“Smart Adhesives” reflects our positioning on developing intelligent
and innovative adhesive solutions that are more functional and
efficient.
THE GECKO – INSPIRATIONAL ADHESION.For centuries, scientists have been intrigued by geckos that have
evolved one of the most effective adhesives known to man. They can
cling to almost any surface, run up polished glass at a meter per
second and easily support their entire body weight with a single toe.
The Bostik gecko is flexible, adaptive, open-minded and bold. It
symbolizes Bostik’s smart adhesive solutions that meet market
challenges to create new business opportunities in future adhesives.
ContentsA COMPREHENSIVE SUITE OF HARD FLOORING ADHESIVESBostik worldwide has been synonymous with sealants and adhesives since the turn of the 20th century. Bostik has acess to new and innovative technologies which influence the development of products that are environ-mentally friendly and in line with changing regulations.
Bostik’s commitment to meet and go beyond market expectations means that we ensure our products comply to the toughest global standards for sustainability providing architects, builders and customers with optimum building solutions for a more environmentally friendly tomorrow.

Bostik’s Green Commitment
INNOVATIVE NEW PRODUCTS TO PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENTBostik is committed to offering innovative product solutions which contribute to sustainable development in construction. This is achieved through continuously developing greener products and packaging. Bostik anticipates and exceeds the needs of its customers while minimising environmental impacts.
PROMOTING PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP Right from the research stage, Bostik integrates health, safety and environmental criteria into each new product development. As a signatory to the National Packaging Covenant, Bostik is firmly committed to reducing the environmental impact of packaging. Further down the line, Bostik applies the same degree of rigour to labeling, preparation of safety documents (safety data sheets). This ensures optimum conditions for the storage, shipment and use of its products. Our relationship with our customers includes technical assistance aimed at optimising the use of our products for the greater protection of people and the environment.
REDUCED IMPACT OF COMPANY ACTIVITIES ON THE ENVIRONMENT All Bostik production sites monitor the characteristics of emissions and waste rigorously and systematically. Performance indicators provide a regular assessment of the environmental performance. Action plans are continuously updated and implemented to reduce the impact on the environment.
PROMOTING ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Systems are in place to manage Bostik’s ISO 9001 safety and quality performan systems are based on a continuous improvement process.
LOCAL AUTHORITYThe Green Building Council of Australia developed the Green Star environmental rating system for building and construction. A growing number of projects are adopting these green building processes to promote a healthier environment, minimise global impacts and improve the satisfaction and living environments of the population. Builders, re-modelers, engineers, product manufactures, architects and consumers alike are using these guidelines to create new approaches to construction and remodeling projects that will benefit today and the world tomorrow.

THICKNESS CONTROL With moisture vapour protection akn to premium moisture
membranes, it's the go-to chemistry for the ultimate in
installation protection and simplicity. When combined with
Bostik's patent-pending Thickness Control™ spacer technology,
AXIOS' performance is equivalent to the sound dampening
properties of rubber and cork underlay.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE TECHNOLOGYMost hardwood adhesive today contain linear polymer chains
that link to other molecules only at each end. AXIOS™ Tri-Linking™
Polymer Technology uses a revolutionary molecule that has
three branches similar to a tripod. This allows each molecule to
bond in three locatiions instead of only two, making the adhesive
bond stronger.
Tri-Linking™ polymers are also more "entangled" because of their
unique shape (think of how tangled a bowl full of miniature tripods
would be). this entanglement creates a tightly interwoven layer
that significantly inhibits water molecules from passing through,
dramatically improving moisture vapor protection, sound
reduction, and strength.

Solid, engineered or bamboo wood flooring >5/8" thick. Coverage: 20sq.ft. per gallon
Solid, engineered or bamboo wood flooring up to 5/8" thick. Coverage: 30 sq.ft. per gallon
Engineered wood flooring up to 3/8" thick. Coverage: 35 sq.ft. per gallon
Trowel size is suggested to maximise coverage of adhesive. Periodically lift board to ensure the following conditions are being met: 100% coverage of concrete substrate and 100% transfer to the back of the flooring product. Uneven subflooring may require the use of either a leveling/patching material, or a larger V-notched trowel for proper coverage of adhesives.

PREP WORKAll surfaces should be level, dry, smooth and clean from contaminates such as dust, dirt, grease, paint and old adhesives. Prior to installation, check any sub floors such as concrete or structural timber are constructed according to ATFA and BCA guidelines. As per ATFA recommendations, ensure the correct application of self levelling underlayments and vapour barriers when required. Visit www.bostik.com.au for our range of floor levellers and vapour barrier products.
ADHESIVEUsing the recommended trowel, spread out approximately one metre of adhesive from the starter row and immediately begin installing the flooring. Hot and humid conditions reduce the working time and cold and dry conditions extend the working time. All adhesives should be wet to the touch during installation. Ensure constant weight pressure is maintained on the freshly laid flooring until adhesive cures. Refer to ATFA guidelines.
CLEAN UPBecause adhesives may bond to the surface of pre-finished flooring and tools you should clean up the adhesive residue as you work using Bostik Handi-Clean towels. Try to avoid having to clean cured material from pre-finished flooring. Ultraset HP has been identified as the easiest adhesive to clean up for pre-finished timber flooring.
