Product Description
R701 is a two-part urethane adhesive suitable for indoor and outdoor installation of flooring as well as installation over concrete slabs with very high moisture content. R701 has an extremely high shear strength making it the perfect choice for areas with high or heavy traffic, rolling loads, and building entrances where high moisture is to be expected. There is no flash time required so installation can commence immediately. R701 remains flexible throughout the seasons.
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 national standards. It must be solid and sound, level, free of indentations, and resistant to pressure and tension.
Sub Floor Preparation
Depending on the type and condition of the subfloor, a mechanical treatment (e.g. mechanical brushing, grinding, or sanding) may be required. The intensity of such work must be determined at the site by the installer. Dust, paint, residual adhesives, or other surface contaminants must be removed by suitable means. Cleaning the surface with an industrial vacuum cleaner is recommended. Cracks and gaps must be filled with concrete crack filler unless they are expansion joints. Level when necessary to 3/16 inches within 10 feet. Heated subfloors, gypcrete, wooden subfloors, levelers, patches, and lightweight concrete must be primed. Fast curing cementitious leveling or patching compounds might reduce the flash and work time of water-based products due to absorption.
Mixing of Components
Pour Part B completely into Part A. Thoroughly mix the two components with an electric mixer for at least 3 minutes until a uniform mixture and color are achieved.
Installation Procedure
Spread the adhesive with the appropriate notched trowel. Avoid excessive adhesive thickness by passing the trowel evenly through the adhesive at a 45- degree angle. Observe the appropriate flash time (if applicable). Lay the flooring into the adhesive, correctly position it and press down firmly. Be sure to check the back of the flooring to ensure a good adhesive transfer from subfloor to flooring is achieved. Roll flooring approx. 15-30 min. after installation with a 75-100# roller if recommended by the flooring manufacturer. Push down raised edges approx. 30-60 min. after installation.
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.
This adhesive will maintain its integrity and performance even when high levels of moisture or water are present. While adhesive can withstand any amount of moisture, it does not qualify as a moisture inhibitor. Please see below for recommended sealers if a moisture barrier is required.
In case of an accident, injury, spill, or exposure, see SDS for information. Consult the Technical Data Sheet at www.staufusa.com for updated information.
