F. Ball and Co. Ltd.’s market-leading, rapid curing, flexible adhesive, Stycco Flex, is known for its ability to bond almost any absorbent or non-absorbent material found in the flooring and construction industries.
The high strength build-up and fast curing time means it can secure stair nosings and trims, without the need for mechanical fixings, in as little as 60 minutes. It can also be used to bond two impervious surfaces together.
The knowledge that plasticiser resistance and high dimensional stability is key to making adhesives suitable for installing PVC flooring accessories has enabled F. Ball to make Stycco Flex 100% compatible with PVC skirting, capping and coving. These properties restrict the movement of PVC accessories that occurs as a result of plasticiser migration, as well as temperature changes, eliminating the problem of gapping at joints.
Technological advancements mean that the product provides advantages over contact adhesives, tapes and aerosols in these situations. It can be applied to vertical substrates without any slipping or sliding when using it to bond accessories in these types of situations and excellent gap-filling qualities make it ideal for installing vertical flooring accessories on rough surfaces.
