1 Edition Urethane Wood Flooring Adhesive Description Features Installation is a multi-function urethane moisture barrier and wood-flooring adhesive. Designed to install material such as: laminated / engineered flooring and parquet flooring over concrete. Application of this product gives the moisture barrier and the wood flooring adhesive in one easy trowel on application. Significantly reduces installation time compared to most standard moisture barrier / adhesive systems. Vastly reduces installation costing. Low V.O.C and low odor. Trowel ridge holding and non-slump. Offers easy application with good wet / green grab. Final cured product yields a superior moisture barrier and wood flooring adhesive. Thoroughly read and understand this data sheet prior to use of the product. Before using LocBond 2000 on areas over 5000 square feet, we recommend you to contact a LocBond representative at so this important datasheet can be reiterated. Surface Preparation Surfaces such as concrete, cement-based backer boards, terrazzo and thoroughly abraded ceramic tile must be dry and free of dirt, loose particles, Paint overspray. oil, wax, grease or any other substance which may affect adhesion. Floor level must not vary beyond 1/8 per 10 feet. If some materials prove hard to remove during preparation, surface abrasion such as sand blasting or some similar method must be used. If the flooring is clearly wet or damp or appears to have moisture present, correct the problem before using LocBond A Calcium Chloride test must be performed. (Using an anhydrous calcium chloride test kit according to ASTM F-1869 test method). Floor Moisture Content Guidelines If the floor appears or feels damp or moist or may be susceptible to moisture, pre-test the floor for moisture using a ASTM F 1869 calcium chloride moisture content test method. If the moisture level tests higher than 10 lbs. per 1000 sqft. per 24 hours, do not use the product, as moisture at this level indicates significant moisture problems, which must be addressed prior to flooring 1

2 installation. If the moisture is at or below 10 lbs., proceed with the application. A Calcium Chloride test must be always performed or warranty is voided. (Using an anhydrous calcium chloride test kit according to ASTM F-1869 test method). Application and Method Product is applied using a continuous v-notch trowel, having teeth width of 1/4 and depth of 3/16. The trowel must be replaced every 500 square feet. The use of any other trowel to apply the product will void all warranties and claims made by Parkay Floors regarding the product. Trowel out the LocBond 2000 like a standard urethane wood flooring adhesive, ensuring 100% coverage of the area where the wood flooring is to be installed. Product will achieve coverage of approximately 40 square feet per gallon. Immediately following trowel application, wet lay the wood flooring, insuring 100% contact between the wood flooring and the LocBond 2000 and tape the flooring, ensuring all defective flooring is discarded prior to installation. Floor traffic should be light for 12 hours, as excessive traffic can damage the moisture retardation effect of the LocBond Full traffic can resume after 12 hours. Clean any spilled product with mineral spirits prior to curing. Follow the cautionary dialogue on the mineral spirits container, as mineral spirits is flammable. LocBond 2000 can be used to install the following wood flooring types: 3 ply, 5 ply and multi-ply engineered plank up to 7 1/4 wide and up to 3/4 thick. Finger block parquet 1/2 thick or less and up to 3 wide. For standard protection, wear safety glasses and disposable gloves. Packaging and Shelf Life Product is packaged in a metal pail which keeps it stable for one year in the unopened pail (store under ambient conditions in a dry area). Cured material is not considered hazardous. Partially used containers can have their original lid replaced and sealed. Upon the next use, remove the lid, cut away and discard any skin formation and proceed with application. Limitations Do not use over concrete treated with sealers or curatives. Do not use over gypsum based patches or underlayments. Do not use for below grade applications. Product will not negate excessive sub floor moisture problems such as hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure occurs when the sub floor restricts a body of water from flowing along its normal path. This pressure is unpredictable and can cause failure of the sub floor and any associated coating or barrier system. Do not use if the floor moisture is outside the floor moisture content guidelines. 2
