ARDEX Pressure Sensitive Vinyl Adhesive
ARDEX Pressure Sensitive Vinyl Adhesive is a solvent-free, high-tack, pressure-sensitive and wet-set adhesive designed specifically for the installation of Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT), sheet vinyl, and other resilient floorcoverings. Offering outstanding initial grab and excellent bond strength, it’s ideal for commercial and domestic flooring projects requiring fast-track installation and long-lasting performance.
Key Benefits:
- Dual application method: Suitable for both pressure sensitive and wet set installation techniques
- Long open time: Up to 100 minutes in pressure sensitive mode
- Fast grab: High tack provides strong initial bond and reduces movement during installation
- Low VOC and solvent-free formula for a safer indoor environment
- Excellent coverage and spreadability
- Low embodied carbon: Just 1.32 kg CO₂ eq/kg (A1-A3 production stage, per BS EN 15804)
Application Modes & Timing:
Pressure Sensitive Application:
- Airing Time: 20–40 minutes*
- Working Time: Up to 30 minutes (LVT), 80 minutes (sheet vinyl)*
- Open Time: Up to 100 minutes*
This method allows the adhesive film to become tacky before flooring is placed, ideal for sensitive vinyl flooring where repositioning is minimal.
Wet Set Application:
- Airing Time: 5–20 minutes*
- Working Time: Up to 45 minutes*
- Open Time: Up to 50 minutes*
Wet set is recommended for secure bonding where early traffic or stress on the floor is expected.
*Times depend on ambient temperature, humidity, and subfloor absorbency.
