FORMULA UPDATE FOR F. BALL


The UK’s leading manufacturer of flooring adhesives and subfloor preparation products has reformulated its Styccobond F66 solvent-free, contact adhesive. With improved performance in securing both horizontal and vertical floor and wallcoverings,


the product also now boasts a quicker drying time, thanks to a brand new application technique.


The innovative sponge applicator, for use on non- absorbent surfaces, makes the solvent-free adhesive easy to apply and creates an ‘instant bond,’ which is key


to the installation of vertical coverings. Styccobond F66 is also ideal for securing most textile-backed wall and floorcoverings, including PVC, rubber and cork, as well as staircase nosings and skirting edgings. For absorbent surfaces, such as concrete subfloors, the adhesive should be applied with a notched spreader.


Commenting on the reformulated adhesive, F. Ball’s Marketing Manager, Richard Harris, said: “F. Ball remains dedicated to updating and developing its existing range of products to the highest possible quality and standard, utilising the latest technology, and considering


Design Week, which is traditionally seen as one of the year’s most important events.”


100% Design London was also the first time Amtico exhibited as a Mannington Company and featured the company’s new logo and branding.

the most effective tools and application techniques.”


With a long open time, making it an optimum product for larger installations, F66 now dries in around 30 – 40 minutes, which can be accelerated further by directing warm air across the adhesive, improving drying times to between five and 10 minutes. Furthermore, its low odour, solvent-free formulation provides a safe, high performance alternative for projects in clinical or sensitive settings, such as hospitals or schools, where cleanliness and hygiene is of the utmost priority.

WAGNER METERS OFFERS NEW SPECIES TABLES FOR BAMBOO


With the increased popularity of bamboo as an economical and ecological flooring choice, moisture meter manufacturers for wood flooring applications have also been addressing this new and exciting material. However bamboo

is a grass, not a true wood, and numerous factors can greatly impact the density of the finished end product. As such, it has been a challenge for moisture meter manufacturers to set specific gravity density tables that accurately


reflect the moisture content (MC) in any bamboo flooring product. Wagner Meters, world leader in moisture management products, has been working in partnership with two major flooring manufacturers for the past 18 months to correctly determine accurate moisture meter specific


gravity tables for their bamboo flooring products. Samples were lab-tested using the ASTM D4442-92 oven-dry method, and specific gravity settings for each flooring product were established. These settings are now available online at www.wagnermeters.com
