Product Description
STAUF AQP-200 is an acrylic-based primer created for a dust-free installation and better adhesion of all STAUF adhesives. AQP-200 penetrates deep and leaves a rough texture to assist in adhesion between adhesive and surface to be applied. Spreads easily and creates an evenly absorbent surface ready for installation of flooring. It has superior coverage and dries very quickly.
Pre-Installation Checklist
A successful installation requires proper preparation of the subfloor. Read and understand all applicable guidelines and technical data sheets before installation. Follow industry standards and flooring manufacturers' recommendations for subfloor moisture content, design, layout, and application of flooring materials. All flooring material's backing must be solid, sound, and free of anti-adherents. All slab constructions must meet the specific requirements of the floor covering to be installed.
Sub Floor Examination
Prior to installation, the subfloor must be checked according to applicable installation guidelines. It must be solid and sound, permanently dry, clean, free of chaps and anti-adherents, and resistant to pressure and tension. The moisture content of all floors must be measured before installation.
Moisture content in concrete subfloors must be below 3#/24hr/1,000SF using the Calcium Chloride Test or below 75% RH using an in-situ probe per ASTM F1869 and F2170.
Sub Floor Preparation
The condition of the subfloor will determine which type of mechanical treatment is required (e.g. wire brushing, sanding, grinding, or shot blasting). Dust, paint, curing compounds, sealers, residual adhesives, or other surface contaminants MUST be removed and a porous surface achieved by suitable means. The extent of subfloor preparation can only be determined at the site by the installer. Clean the surface with an industrial vacuum cleaner and tack the floor with a damp microfiber mop before application. Do not use sweeping compounds unless they are water-based as most others will contain oil or wax which will act as an anti-adherent and prevent primers, sealers, leveling compounds, coatings, and/or adhesives from bonding to the concrete. Cracks and gaps must be treated prior to application of primers, sealers, leveling compounds, coatings, and/or adhesives (for details see Technical Information #19 @ www.staufusa.com).
Installation Procedure
Shake can before use and apply primer undiluted with a brush or foam roller. Avoid puddles as they prolong the drying period. Apply primer once and not too thick. On poorly absorbent subfloors the primer must be applied sparingly; Do not leave a visible layer of primer on the floor. Once dried, the primer is transparent. Higher temperatures speed up the drying process.
Storage
Store and transport protected from freezing. Recommended minimum temperatures are 35°F for transport and 40°F for storage. Do not stir the product if frozen, allow it to thaw completely.
Limitations
When using other than STAUF products in conjunction with STAUF primers, sealers, leveling compounds, or adhesives, STAUF denies any and all responsibility for any ensuing problems and/or damages without prior written authorization from STAUF.
Do not dilute primer/sealer or mix with other products.
Do not use on damp subfloors.
