STYCCOBOND F3 Textile Flooring Adhesive
FEATURES • High strength • Good wet grab
INTRODUCTION STYCCOBOND F3 is a water based textile flooring adhesive that has excellent wet grab with an early build up of strength and should be used for securing fibre bonded carpets, hessian, felt, secondary latex and rubber foam backed carpets, contract underlay and cork tiles up to 3.2mm thick. See the F. Ball Recommended Adhesives Guide for details of specific floorcoverings. STYCCOBOND F3 can be applied to STOPGAP smoothing compounds, structurally sound, smooth, dry subfloors of concrete and sand/cement screed, calcium sulphate screeds, plywood, flooring grade chipboard and hardboard. STOPGAP waterproof surface membranes, sound flooring grade asphalt and some non-absorbent surfaces must be skimmed with a minimum of 3mm of the appropriate STOPGAP smoothing compound. STYCCOBOND F3 is suitable for use over normal underfloor heating installations. For details on other subfloors, contact our Technical Service Department.
• Suitable with underfloor heating • Suitable for the installation of most carpets • Approved for marine use STANDARDS All aspects of the installation of floorcoverings should be in accordance with the requirements of the relevant British Standard Code of Practice i.e. BS 5325 (Installation of textile floorcoverings) and supplementary specifications. Tested in accordance with IMO FTP Code procedures, STYCCOBOND F3 is in compliance with the Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations 2016, S.I. 2016/1025, and the Marine Equipment Directive 2014/90/EU, and approved for use as an adhesive for flooring applications only.

SURFACE PREPARATION Proper subfloor preparation is essential for the correct installation of any floorcovering. Subfloors must be structurally sound, smooth, dry (<75% RH) and free from laitance and any contaminants which will affect adhesion. Use STYCCOCLEAN C140 for removing grease, oil, polish, soap etc. from non-absorbent substrates. Concrete and sand/cement screeds must be fully cured and any laitance or surface treatments must be removed. The temperature of the floor must be maintained above 10°C throughout the application and drying of the adhesive. Underfloor heating must be off for at least 48 hours before, during and after application. For detailed information, request the F. Ball Subfloor Preparation Guide . DAMP SUBFLOORS The relative humidity (RH) of the subfloor can be measured using the F. Ball Digital Hygrometer. Where the RH value is greater than 75% the appropriate STOPGAP Waterproof Surface Membrane should be applied. SMOOTHING To ensure a level surface on which to adhere to, uneven and irregular surfaces should be suitably prepared using the appropriate STOPGAP smoothing compounds. PRIMING Highly absorbent subfloors such as sand/ cement screeds and plywood etc. may cause rapid drying of the adhesive, thus reducing the open time. Use STOPGAP P131 diluted 4 parts of water and stir until thoroughly dispersed. This should be allowed to dry thoroughly before proceeding with the installation. Dry and suitably prepared calcium sulphate screeds e.g. anhydrite must be primed with neat STOPGAP P121.
Absorbent surfaces - lay the floorcovering immediately, except cork tiles. When installing cork tiles, or onto surfaces with little or no absorbency, allow the adhesive to dry partially to a paste-like consistency
TOOLS • STYCCOBOND 2mm x 6mm OR 3mm x 6mm ‘V’ notched trowel • F. Ball STYCCOBOND GLYDA for foam backed carpets • Trimming Knife • Tools should be cleaned with warm soapy water while the adhesive is still wet STORAGE Store between 5°C and 30°C. Protect from frost.
before laying the floorcovering. Deeply profiled or rough backed
floorcoverings - it may be necessary to apply extra adhesive to ensure good contact. In such cases use a 3mm x 6mm ‘V’ notched trowel, this will reduce the coverage quoted. PRECAUTIONS Do not traffic the installation until the adhesive has secured the floorcovering. Do not apply loads or move furniture on the floorcovering until the adhesive has fully set. Do not allow the floorcovering to be wet cleaned until three weeks after laying.
