Technical Data Sheet (TDS)
| Product Description |
| Spot-Tack is a Universal adhesive used to connect multiple products to multiple surfaces instantly. It is designed specifically for affixing products in either vertical or overhead configurations. It has an immediate grab which makes it ideal for tile, pavers, tumbled marble, and many other types of flooring and decorative products. As long as one of the two products is porous, the types of products to adhere to are limitless. |
| 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, flat, permanently dry, clean, free of chaps, indentations, and anti-adherents, as well as 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). |
| 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. |
| This adhesive is mold and mildew-resistant and water resistant when fully cured. However, it will not prevent moisture-related damages to wood flooring unless it is used as a moisture barrier (if applicable) within the limitations set forth in the Technical Data Sheet. |
| 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. |
