There are a few great reasons why applying a flooring adhesive with a paint roller is a good thing. The first, and probably the most obvious, is that you get to apply the flooring adhesive from a standing position. It's no longer necessary to crawl across the floor on your hands and knees when you can stand up and apply using a roller. Another advantage is that your coverage will increase on a per-gallon basis. Roller-applied adhesives typically are applied rather thinly, which extends the coverage by as much as 50% – a real savings on a per-square-foot basis. Yet another advantage to applying adhesive with a roller is that the drying time is much faster than with traditional trowel applications. Being that it is applied in a thin coat, the adhesive flashes off quickly, allowing for flooring installation much faster than with traditional methods.
Mapecoat TNS products are manufactured by a family-owned company under ISO management standards to ensure product and service quality. Our Mapecoat TNS color coatings are QUV-tested to 2,000 hours and are tested for abrasion, tensile strength and elongation. Our Comfort and Comfort Elite systems are independently tested for force reduction. Additionally, Mapecoat TNS coatings are formulated with low VOCs.
In addition to a wide range of standard color offerings, our Mapecoat TNS color coatings, Mapecoat TNS Binder, Mapecoat TNS Finish 3 and Mapecoat TNS Line Tex can be tinted to match customer-supplied color samples and digital standards using our ColorMap color-matching system.
No. Epoxy bonding agents are not recommended with rapid-set concrete repair mortars due to incompatibility with setting times. Rapid-set mortars begin to stiffen and harden quickly, often within minutes. Epoxy bonding agents take longer to cure and may still be tacky when the repair mortar starts setting, leading to poor adhesion.
MAPEI is committed to offering a wide range of products designed to provide solutions for every problem. While one-component synthetic turf adhesives are easier to use, they are not always the best option as they cure/set much slower when the air is cold or dry. In contrast, MAPEI’s two-component synthetic turf adhesives use a catalyst system to ensure that they cure quickly and predictably even in harsh conditions.
Mapecoat TNS systems can be installed on new or existing asphalt or concrete slabs. On fresh concrete, a layer of Mapecoat TNS Primer EPW is applied first to provide excellent adhesion under the selected hard or cushioned system. For existing slabs with cracking, either the Mapecoat TNS Reinforced or Mapecoat TNS Comfort Elite system can be used to prevent non-structural cracks from coming through the new surface.
MAPEI offers solutions for both sports and landscape installations. For sports installations we offer Ultrabond Turf PU 2K Accelerator, which can be used with Ultrabond Turf PU 2K to speed up the reaction of the product in cooler weather.
MAPEI’s landscape turf products were designed exclusively for the installer for easier, more budget-friendly applications. MAPEI’s sports turf products are designed to create the strongest and best-performing installations in the industry and are engineered to provide world-class performance.
You can use Topcem Premix or Mapecem 102 to level your concrete slab. If you have freeze/thaw cycles in your area, substitute the mixing water with Planicrete AC for Topcem Premix, or use Mapecem 202.
MAPEI is committed to using innovative, sustainable and low-VOC materials to ensure that our products have the lowest impact on the environment possible. Because of this, MAPEI does not offer a solvent-based synthetic turf product.
