Notes
1. For non-porous subfloors (such as an existing vinyl floorcovering) you can use Mega-Bond providing the
“Double-Drop System” is employed. Data sheet available on request.
2. 8000 Polyurethane 2-Part Adhesive is only required where permanent puddling is expected. Domestic bathrooms,
kitchens, laundries and commercial patient care areas of healthcare buildings are not considered “permanent” wet
areas and Mega-Bond is satisfactory.
3. “Permanent” bonding system in this context means areas subjected to extreme heavy traffic or places where high
point loading occurs such as heavy trolley traffic and some instances of castor chair wheels. Otherwise use the
“Pressure Sensitive” (PS) Hi-Tack peelable bonding system.
4. Coral Brush Activ is only recommended for outdoor use where adequate canopy protection is provided. 8000
Polyurethane 2-Part adhesive will prevent wet seepage to the edges and seams of the Coral Brush Activ when no
diminishing strip or cover strip is employed. Because Coral Brush Activ is impervious the larger general areas may be
adhered with Mega-Bond.
5. When using the recommended Airstep Suporta Pad underlay; Bond #1 (Hi-Tack) is the Suporta Pad to the subfloor.
Bond #2 (Mega-Bond) is the Flotex Sheet or Flotex Tiles to the underlay. Because Suporta Pad is only partially
absorbent, it is essential to allow the Mega-Bond to slightly tack-up first to avoid the surface floor covering from
‘bubbling’.
6. When using the recommended Regupol 4515 Acoustic Underlay, both bonds (Regupol to subfloor and tile/planks to
Regupol) Regupol RV adhesive must be used, not Mega-Bond Adhesive.
Additional information is printed on the relevant adhesive use label and important specific product
installation information is contained on the instruction leaflet found in every roll or box.
