Adhesives


Epoxy Resin
Epoxy resin is a two-part mix. Both components should be mixed together with a drill and paddle to a smooth consistency and the contents poured out within 5 minutes of mixing time. If left within the container the resin will harden inside 15 minutes; on the floor you have up to 2 hours working time. Recommended for areas subject to excessive moisture.
Any areas under question consult Karndean International.

High Temperature Adhesive (HT)
A modified Acrylic adhesive with an improved service temperature. For use in areas subject to excessive heat eg. conservatories, shop windows, patio doors (and other areas subject to direct sunlight), and underfloor heating. We always recommend that you work section by section, as product must be wet bonded when installed with this adhesive (the open time is approximately
15 minutes, depending on atmospheric conditions).

Special note about conservatories:
It is particularly necessary to keep the temperature in conservatories at a constant 18°-26° prior to, during, and for 24 hours after installation. It would also be advisable to shade windows to ensure that constant temperature conditions are maintained.

Acrylic
Ideal for use in most normal residential and commercial installations. We always recommend that you work section by section, as product must be wet bonded when installed with this adhesive (the open time is approximately

Pressure Sensitive adhesive (PS)
