LG 5100 Solvent Free Conductive Flooring Adhesive is designed for the installation of conductive commercial grade PVC flooring. LG 5100 is a non-flammable water based electrically conductive adhesive that is resistant to plasticizer migration and can be applied using common tools and techniques over a variety of subfloor surfaces. This adhesive is low odor and contains zero calculated VOC's (based on solvents used), which makes it ideal for use anywhere odor is a concern. This product further conforms to California clean air requirements as specified in SCAQMD Rule 1168.

SUBSTRATE REQUIREMENTS: HVAC must be in operation. It's important that all products to be used in the installation be preconditioned at a temperature between 65o and 85o F for at least 48 hours prior to beginning the installation and permanently thereafter. Follow the instructions shipped with the flooring product.

Any substrate onto which flooring is to be installed should be carefully inspected to assure that proper adhesive bonding will be achieved. Proper adhesion requires that the surface be clean, dry and free from dust, paint, old floor finishes, existing adhesives or any other flooring material. Do not use this adhesive on any substrate that has been chemically cleaned. Adhesive coverage and spread rates may vary according to the substrate type and application method.

Moisture testing is required prior to any installation of United SCP flooring products on concrete substrates. Testing should be done per ASTM F1869 Calcium Chloride Moisture Emission Test (with the maximum level being 5 lbs / 1000 s.f / 24 hour period. Test concrete surface for pH. Results must be between 6 and 10. Documented moisture and pH testing is required for validation of all United SCP floor covering Warranties. Do not install United SCP ESD Flooring over gypsum based patching or leveling compounds.

INSTALLATION: Follow all United SCP flooring installation recommendations and guidelines for proper flooring installation.

     

Do NOT spread an area that is too large to realistically work. When installing over non porous substrates allow the spread adhesive to slightly dry until the surface becomes tacky to the touch (slight transfer to the fingertip). Drying time will vary according to temperature, substrate porosity and other environmental variables.

When installing over porous substrates install the flooring into the adhesive while semi wet (slight to moderate transfer to the fingertip). Install flooring immediately after the required open time and roll floor in all directions using a 100 pound vinyl flooring roller. NOT following the recommended methods for installation will sacrifice important bonding properties.

Trowel size: 1/16" x 1x16" x 1/16" U or Square notched. Typical Coverage: 150 square feet per gallon.

Grounding: Ground this adhesive and flooring every 2,000 sf. Click Here for the recommended grounding method.

Clean up: This is a water soluble product when wet. Cleanup of tools and flooring may be accomplished with warm soapy water WHEN WET. Dried adhesive will require the use of a safety solvent or cleaners containing phosphates (some deck cleaners contain phosphates). Cleaners containing glycol ethers (such as 409) have been shown to be effective as has Soft Scrub. Do your best to not get this adhesive on the finished surface of the tiles. It can be messy and hard to remove.

Storage and Handling: Containers should be kept tightly closed. This product is sensitive to freezing. Protect from freezing. Unopened containers stored at temperatures of 60 to 75 degrees F have a shelf life expectancy of 6 months.
