8 PRODUCT INFORMATION FLOOR PREPARATION OVERVIEW A stable bond between the substrate and the ARDEX topping is the key to success when installing the ARDEX products. Concrete floors must be solid as well as clean and free of all foreign contaminants through mechanically preparation. Unprepared and contaminated slabs are the main cause of expensive and avoidable failures. All substrates must be assessed and tested for moisture. In situations where moisture exceeds 5.5% or 70%, RH moisture barrier must be first applied. Moisture vulnerable slabs which are below grade, cracked or with incomplete, missing and unknown condition vapour barriers, a moisture membrane should be replaced. The installation is carried out regardless of the actual moisture content. Each compound is thoroughly mixed with a mechanical drill and poured onto the prepared and primed concrete. The compound is then spread across the floor to thickness with a height adjustable ARDEX Spreader and smoothed with an ARDEX smoothing trowel. When new or unusual circumstances are encountered on a specific project, recommendation should be sought from ARDEX Technical Services. ARDEX AND OUR ENVIRONMENT As part of our ongoing commitment to the environment, ARDEX is constantly improving the existing range and developing new products to reduce the ecological foot print. ARDEX K55, ultra rapid self levelling and smoothing compound has been engineered to self level at 2mm, thus reducing material consumption by 33%. The indoor air quality of buildings are also enhanced by the use of ARDEX products. As shown in the table below, the performance leading and commonly used ARDEX flooring products have been independently tested to the Green Building Council Green Star Specification for Office Design (IEQ-11) and Office Interior (IEQ-13). ARDEX LOW VOC PRODUCTS ARDEX new and existing products are currently being independently tested for VOC content.

25 FLOOR COVERING PARQUET ADHESIVE FLOOR COVERING PARQUET ADHESIVE

26 Introduction to ARDEX adhesives ARDEX is known and trusted worldwide in providing unique products and services that take time and risk out of the flooring installation process. ARDEX adhesives are designed to meet installer preferences with higher performance to lower the total cost of installation while providing long term reliability for the owner of the floor. ARDEX adhesives are manufactured worldwide using best practice and advanced technology from ARDEX research and development research scientists from North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Solvent free and low VOC. ARDEX adhesives for internal floor coverings including carpe, vinyl sheet, vinyl plank, vinyl tile and linoleum have been formulated without hazardous organic solvents and have been independently tested to the Green Building Council specifications IEQ11 and IEQ13 for VOC content. Recommendations for best adhesive practice Surface preparation All substrates must comply with relevant standards. In particular, it must be level, permanently dry or protected from moisture, firm, load-bearing, free from curing compounds, cracks and also have a high tensile and compressive strength. Priming Substrate porosity varies widely which will significantly alter adhesive performance including set-up, working time and coverage. Priming substrates reduces the effect of substrates variation on adhesive performance ensuring greater reliability of installation. Trowels Always use nominated trowels replacing frequently. Never use worn trowels. Where floor covering manufacturer trowel size varies from that specified by ARDEX, contact ARDEX for further advice. Rolling Always use manufacturers nominated roller to ensure the floor covering is pressed to the substrate enabling successful adhesive transference and contact for long term performance. Test Area Where new or unusual conditions are encountered, a test area should be installed to verify adequate and successful installation practice. Substrate Moisture Content When substrate exceeds a 5.5% moisture content, 70% RH or is vulnerable to moisture, such as basements, subgrade and older buildings, an ARDEX moisture barrier system should be installed. Temperature Condition adhesive and floor coverings to working area temperature 24 hours prior to and 48 hours after installation. Installation temperature of working area, floor covering, adhesive and substrate to be a minimum of 10 c and a maximum of 30 c. If in doubt ask ARDEX provides nationwide training, project specification and job site support for ARDEX customer to eliminate installation risk and provide customers with the lowest total cost of installation. For technical enquiries, contact ARDEX on or your sales professional. IMPORTANT NOTE Variations in site conditions including porosity, air movement and temperature, humidity, substrates temperature and moisture, priming, substrate smoothness will alter coverage, set up time and working time. 26
