How to Apply ADESIVER RE 400 SPX: Step-by-Step Guide

• Carefully prepare the substrate, ensuring it is dry, compact, clean, and free from dust or rising moisture.
• Stir the product before use until a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Apply the adhesive using a notched trowel n°1 or n°3, selecting the most suitable notch size according to the substrate and floor covering type.
• Allow the correct flash-off time, generally between 10 and 30 minutes, to enable the development of the surface tack.
• Install the flooring while applying uniform pressure across the entire surface to eliminate air pockets and ensure optimal adhesion.
• In particularly demanding conditions, such as heavy mechanical traffic or significant thermal fluctuations, consider using adhesives specifically designed for high-stress applications.
