Product Description
R731 adhesive spreads easily and has a non-slump formula that will help insure contact and adhesive transfer because the ridges will bridge normal gaps between the flooring and substrate. It allows fast installation even with complicated patterns due to its strong green grab. There is no flash time required, so installation can commence immediately. Rolling is recommended. It offers superior flexibility and is designed to adapt to seasonal changes. R731 offers high shear strength which makes it suitable for outdoor and indoor use.
Pre-Installation Checklist
A successful installation requires proper preparation of the subfloor. Read and understand all applicable guidelines and technical data sheets before beginning installation. Follow industry standards and flooring manufacturers' recommendations for subfloor preparation, design, layout, and application of flooring materials. The backing of all flooring material must be solid and sound, and free of anti-adherents.
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
Prepare subfloor according to synthetic turf manufacturer's instructions.
Installation Procedure
Spread the adhesive with the appropriate notched trowel or use a glue box to spread the adhesive onto the seaming tape. Lay the turf into the adhesive and press down firmly.
Storage
Place plastic on top of unused adhesive. Remove air pockets between adhesive and plastic. Place silica bags in the pail. Place lid on pail and seal tightly. Store pail in a cool dry place.
