QUELYD SOL is an acrylic adhesive especially designed for bonding PVC floor coverings in rolls or tiles, felt-, Hessian- or polyester-backed carpets, ActionBac®, needlepunch, PVC- or latex-backed carpets.
For use onto subfloors of concrete, sand/cement screed, anhydrite screeds, levelling compounds, flooring grade plywood and timber.
For interior use only.
Physical:
- Adhesive type: acrylic adhesive
- Colour: beige
- Waiting time: approx 5 to 15 minutes subject to ambient conditions, substrate absorbency and the quantity of adhesive applied
- Working time: approx 30 minutes at +20°C
- Working temperature: preferably between +10°C and +35°C. Material and substrate temperature not below +10°C.
- Full cure: after 48-72 hours subject to ambient conditions

Consumption:
approx. 250-350 g/m²
Safety:
IMPORTANT: before embarking on any work involving QUELYD SOL the separate Product Safety Data Sheet must be studied carefully by those carrying out the work.
Shelf life:
Up to 24 months in the original unopened container stored between +5°C and +30°C. Frost stable down to -5°C. In case of product freezing, put the bucket into the heated room (+25°C) for at least 24-48 hours. Mix well before application.
PREPARATION
Preparation should be in accordance with building standards. Subfloors must be sound, even, smooth, permanently dry and free from old adhesive residues, dust, grease or other contaminants.
When overlaying existing floor coverings ensure that they are firmly bonded and clean.
Remove dirt, polish, oil and similar contaminating substances.
Substrate residual moisture content should be between 7% and 11% for wooden substrates, 3% for concrete and cement substrates, 0.5% for anhydrite screeds.
APPLICATION
Apply an even coat over the whole area to be covered using a suitable notched trowel (depending on the porosity and roughness of the substrate).
For floor coverings with a smooth backing use notched trowel A1, apply approx. 250 g/m².
For floor coverings with a rough backing use notched trowel B1, apply approx. 350 g/m².
1. Unroll the sheet down the length of the room.
2. Pull the sheets back half their length. Apply the adhesive onto the subfloor. Wait for 5-15 minutes before applying the floor covering onto the adhesive. Floor covering should be bonded within 30-40 minutes after adhesive application.
3. Repeat procedure for second half of sheet as soon as first half has been bonded. Use a plastic spatula for pressing the floor covering in order to ensure that it fully adheres to the ground and to expel trapped air.
4. Cut the edges with an edge trimmer.
Remarks
- Tightly close all containers after use.
- Wait for 24 hours before placing furniture.
Cleaning
- Tools and fresh spillages should be cleaned with warm water, preferably whilst the adhesive is still wet.
- Dry adhesive can be cleaned with chlorinated solvents.
