For the right Adhesive S
At F. Ball and Co Ltd we pride ourselves on producing the most accurate, up to date and well researched technical information and we strive to provide the best in technical support in the fl ooring industry. The 45th edition of the Recommended Adhesives Guide, or RAG as it is commonly known, is no exception.
The RAG is the world’s most authoritative and complete guide to fl oor covering adhesive selection.
The RAG, now in its 45th year has become a necessity for all professional fl ooring contractors, wholesalers, distributors and specifi ers alike as it guarantees almost 6000 adhesive recommendations. It’s trusted by everyone in the industry as it takes away any uncertainty and helps to ensure the job is done correctly .. every time.
Maximising Print and Digital Technology
We provide the RAG in a number of forms - as an A5 180 page printed catalogue, via our website at
www.f-ball.co.uk and as a mobile app with a new version available now - so wherever you are and whatever time of day you can access the most up to date information.
Inside the printed version of the RAG there are 180 pages packed with the very latest information enabling you to identify the up- to-the-minute recommendations for the most appropriate adhesives to use with almost 6,000 brand name fl oor coverings from most leading international fl oorcovering manufacturers.
The sheer amount of data, technical know how and hard work that goes into every version of the RAG is signifi cant by any standard. We place
so much emphasis on the importance and value of the RAG that we have a dedicated team of scientists, technicians, liaison and administration teams continually working on the project throughout the year.
Making Correct Decisions is vital
Selecting the right adhesive for the job is key to the success of any fl ooring installation project. With almost 600 brand name fl oor coverings
available, combined with 1000’s of potential adhesive options, there are almost infi nite permutations, so simply guessing and hoping you’ve selected the most suitable adhesive isn’t an option.
Even if you’ve laid a particular type of fl oor covering in the past, you can’t be certain that the makeup of the material will be the same. Manufacturers often change their production techniques and specifi cations and that may affect the performance of a particular adhesive. Using the RAG takes away all of the uncertainty and guarantees the correct adhesive… every time.
The F. Ball RAG continues to be the tried, tested and trusted industry benchmark that the UK’s fl ooring installers have come to rely on. F. Ball is the only company with 130 years’ experience of developing superior adhesive products that can guarantee perfect results every time.
F. Ball’s Technical Team have been testing fl ooring products for over 50 years and we have developed a level of expertise unmatched in the industry. We regularly challenge application theory, push industry boundaries and work hard to understand installer expectations to ensure our products perform and can be relied on every time they are used.
Pioneers in adhesive technology
At F Ball we are pioneers in adhesive technology and many of the latest and most signifi cant advances have been developed in our own labs - from the iconic Styccobond F3 (the UK’s most popular fl ooring adhesive) to F49 - ground breaking temperature tolerant pressure sensitive adhesive that performs in extremes - from -20 degrees to 60 degrees.
It’s no secret that our scientists are continually pushing the boundaries of adhesive technology and have a remit to develop the best, most advanced products on the market and this ethos runs throughout our business, at every level.
