FAQ
Which type of glue should be used for pre-finished (varnished) parquet ?
Definitions
ImperviousCharacterisitc of a subfloor which porosity is very low. Adhesion on such substrates is usually more difficult and requires more attention and preparation.
Open timeTime between the moment the adhesive was applied and the moment it has no more tack (end of possible laying the covering)
PrimerLiquid or paste applied onto a substrate to obtain optimum bonding. It helps regulate the porosity of the substrate (reduce absorption, therefore adhesive usage), increase adhesion to non porous surfaces, improves application properties of later on applied adhesive
TackAdhesive power to maintain together 2 materials. Tacky surface means sticky surface.
Tiling
Waiting timeTime between adhesive application and material bonding. It is required to wait to allow the adhesive to have enough adhesion power (tack) to receive the floor covering.
Working timeTime between end of waiting time and moment when the application is no longer possible

Uses

TARBICOL C5R is a ready to use vinyl adhesive for securing:

8 mm mosaic parquet,
10 mm unfinished wood flooring,
herringbone parquet flooring,
stone cut parquet flooring,
on-edge floorboards

For bonding onto cement screeds or cork underlay.

For securing difficult wood (beech, horn-beech, etc) use TARBOCOL PU 2-component polyurethane adhesive.

TARBICOL C5R is not suitable for bonding prefinished and impregnated parquet.

Suitable for bonding onto substrates such as concrete screeds, cement/sand screeds, flooring grade plywood and particle board, existing parquet flooring, ceramic tiles, anhydrite screeds.

For interior use only.

Safety:

IMPORTANT: before embarking on any work involving TARBICOL C5R the separate Product Safety Data Sheet must be studied carefully by those carrying out the work.

Observe good hygiene in use. Avoid skin and eye contact.

Shelf life:

Up to 12 months in the original unopened container stored between +10°C and +30°C. Frost-sensitive.

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.

When further preparation of the subfloor is required, select suitable Bostik primers and Bostik smoothing and levelling compounds.

Apply our solvent-based primer IMPREGLUE on anhydrite screeds and wood substrates. Several subsequent layers may be necessary (consumption: 120 g/m² per coat).

All surfaces must incorporate adequate damp proofing, if not, they should be primed with Eponal 336 Moisture Vapour Barrier coating.

Always allow primers and underlayment to dry thoroughly before applying the adhesive.

APPLICATION

Apply the adhesive evenly onto the substrate using a notched trowel N°4. No open time is necessary.

Generally, parquet should be bonded by 1 meter wide strips and beaten with a mallet or a hammer and a tapping block prior to bonding subsequent strips.

Place the wood flooring immediately in position and press firmly (or roll) over the whole surface to ensure good transfer.

Using wedges, allow a gap of 5 to 8 mm (expansion joint) between the parquet and vertical walls. Gap calculation: 0.15% of the largest dimensions of the area to be covered with flooring. These expansion joints will be later covered by skirting boards.

Close up the strips or floorboards every 10 to 15 m².

Working time is approx.15 minutes.

Bonding cork underlay

Apply the adhesive evenly onto the substrate. Slightly pre-wet the upper side of cork underlay before applying the bottom side onto the adhesive to guarantee the same water content to both sides. Allow a gap of 3 to 4 mm between cork tiles and between cork underlay and walls. Allow the adhesive to dry completely (approx. 1 to 4 days) before installing parquet flooring onto cork underlay.

Allow a waiting time of approx. 24 hours before opening to foot traffic.

Sanding and varnishing can be done after 7 days.

REMARKS

- Do not apply an impervious protection finish on freshly installed parquet flooring.

- Avoid adhesive contact with non-treated iron as it will cause stains on the wood surface.

- Installation of the parquet should be done in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instruction.

Cleaning

Tools and spillages are cleaned easily with water.
