Chemique Adhesives, a leading UK manufacturer of high-performance industrial adhesives and adhesive application equipment, has recently introduced a new low-hazard, moisture-curing, one-component pedestal adhesive to its Polyped access flooring range.
Polyped 3370 is a phthalate-free, single part polyurethane adhesive designed for easy pedestal installation. Its unique formula allows for effortless application by simply dip[ping in the pedestal base into the adhesive before positioning it on a concrete floor.
This low-foaming, thixotropic polyurethane adhesive requires no mixing and easily fills voids between substrates, resulting in a strong, yet flexible bond.
Furthermore, the adhesive has surpassed VOC testing including BREEAM International at Exemplary level. Following a 48-hour curing period, it successfully passes both the T42 'swinging bag' and T15 'pedestal strength' tests.
Keith Barry, technical manager at Chemique Adhesives, commented: "Our new, low emission one-part pedestal adhesive has been developed with both safety and performance in mind. It has successfully passed rigorous VOC testing that meets stringent emission standards and ensures a safer work environment without compromising on bond strength."
