DEVELOPED to promote a fast, safe installation, Mapei’s range of ‘high performance’ adhesives reportedly provide systems for all types of floorcoverings – from natural and engineered stone to wood and resilient materials.

Latest additions to the range include Ultrabond ECO TX3 – reportedly a solvent-free ready-to-use acrylic formulation developed for linoleum and textile floors. Manufactured in the UK, Mapei Ultrabond ECO TX3 is described as a premium, wet-grab adhesive.

Says the company: ‘The product’s very low VOC formulation has exceptional wetting and high-grab properties, giving early strength and build-up. The adhesive is suitable for textile floors with all types of backing – including jute, polypropylene, Action-Bac, woven, latex, foam and needle-punches on all kinds of internal, absorbent substrates that are dry. It’s also suitable for the installation of linoleum with natural jute backing.’

Ultrabond Eco TX3 is particularly suitable for heavy traffic settings – including hotels, offices, airports and restaurants – and for commercial floors subjected to castor wheel traffic (in accordance with EN 12529). It can also be used in double stick-installations and on heated screeds. During installation, the adhesive has an open time of 10-30 minutes. Floors can accept light foot traffic after between 3-5 hours and returned to full use after 24-48 hours.

Safety and environmental certifications include EMICODE EC1 Plus (very low emission) and Blauer Engel DE-UZ 113. The solvent-free adhesive is also non-flammable, has an M1 emission class for building materials and a low odour ISO 16000:28 rating.
