Application Instructions

Ensure the subfloor is dry, clean, and maintained at the correct temperature in accordance with BS 8203. Apply ARDEX AF 275 evenly using a suitable serrated trowel held at a 60° angle to avoid pooling. Allow the adhesive to air for 5–15 minutes before laying the rubber flooring. For optimal results, ensure full contact between the adhesive and the floorcovering, and roll the surface using a 68kg roller to secure adhesion. Avoid contamination during drying and maintain recommended ambient conditions throughout the installation process.

Priming

Priming is generally not required. On highly absorbent surfaces such as cement:sand screeds, use ARDEX P 51 (diluted 1:3 with clean water) to help maintain working time and ensure even coverage.

Cleaning

Remove any adhesive spills or squeeze-through immediately using a damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning products unless approved by the floorcovering manufacturer.

Storage & Safety

Store unopened tubs in a cool, dry place away from frost and direct heat sources. Shelf life is 12 months from the date on the packaging. ARDEX AF 275 is non-hazardous during normal use. Avoid skin and eye contact and follow standard hygiene procedures during handling and installation.
