CARE HOMES
-20C and up to +60C). The incredibly strong bond formed by the adhesive is also water-resistant, making it ideal for use in areas subject to repeated wet cleaning.
˝Adhesive that isn’t water resistant may break down and soften if it comes into contact with water, potentially causing resilient floorcoverings to bubble or de-bond.˝
Plasticiser resistance makes adhesives suitable for installing vertical PVC flooring accessories and has enabled F. Ball to make Styccobond F49 an alternative to contact adhesives for securing PVC skirting, coving and capping, a popular choice in care settings because they allow for easy cleaning of floors and prevent the build-up of dirt at the edges of the room. Unlike contact adhesives, Styccobond F49 only needs to be applied to one surface to achieve a good bond. It also allows skirting or

coving to be repositioned during the initial early stages of drying if alignment isn't correct.
Carpet installed over large areas can be prone to rucking – large ‘wrinkles’ caused by heavy objects, such as food trollies, being routinely wheeled across them – which can present a trip hazard. To prevent this, it is recommended to secure carpets with an adhesive that will develop a strong enough bond to hold floorcoverings firmly in place over the lifetime of the installation.
COMPATIBILITY CHECK
It is always recommended that flooring contractors check the compatibility of a particular adhesive with a chosen floorcovering. To do this, flooring contractors can consult floorcovering manufacturers’ guideline. Alternatively, F. Ball produces its industry-leading recommended adhesives guide (RAG), which contains over 6,000 adhesive recommendations for floorcoverings from over 200 international manufacturers, for this purpose. The latest guide is available as a printed booklet and features more recommendations than ever before, each the result of stringent testing and endorsed by the individual floorcovering manufacturer. A continuously updated version of the RAG is also available as a free app and on the F. Ball website.
