- Clean Up
Remove wet adhesive immediately with a clean cloth dampened with mineral spirits, isopropanol or acetone. Cured adhesive is very difficult to remove. Do not apply solvents directly to flooring. Use caution when handling flammable solvents.
- Packaging
HELMICOL 3035 is available in 1-gallon and 2-gallon units
- Shelf LIfe
- 18 months in unopened properly stored containers
- Acclimation
The area to receive flooring shall be fully enclosed, weather tight, with an installed operating HVAC system. The installation area, flooring materials and adhesive must be acclimated at a temperature between 65°– 85°F for 48 hours prior to, during and after installation. The relative humidity of the installation area shall be maintained between 35 – 55% per ASTM F710 (Standard Practice for Preparing Concrete Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring).
- Application
Pour the entire contents of the Part B container into the Part A container. Using a low speed mixer, thoroughly mix the contents until a smooth, even colored consistency is achieved. Immediately pour the entire contents onto the substrate. Do not allow mixed adhesive to set in container. Spread adhesive evenly using the recommended trowel. Refer to above chart for trowel notch recommendations. Hold trowel at a 60° angle. Replace trowels with worn notches. Do not re-notch worn notches. Note: The 3/64" x 3/64" x 3/64" U-notch trowel can be used as an alternative to the 1/16" x 1/16" x 1/16" V-notch trowel. Contact Helmitin for more information. Once applied, the working time of the adhesive is 20 - 30 minutes (higher room temperatures will result in shorter open times). Allowing a 10-minute open time before positioning flooring will help reduce tile shifting and adhesive bleed through at tile joints. Kneeling boards are recommended when working on tile. When installing sheet flooring, the use of a push board will help remove excess air under the flooring. To insure transfer of adhesive to back of flooring, flooring material must be positioned while adhesive is wet. Immediately roll flooring in both directions with a 100 lb three-section roller. Post Installation Prevent all traffic for a minimum of 8-hours. Prevent heavy traffic and rolling loads for a minimum of 24 - 48 hours after installation. Do not wash or begin maintenance procedures on the floor for a minimum of 5-days after installation. Lower temperatures will result in longer cure times.
