Adhesive Application

EnPress Adhesive Application

 Ecoflex ICT requires EnPress PSA adhesive

 Ecoflex NXT requires EnPress NXT adhesive

 Ecoflex AIR either EnPress PSA or NXT adhesive

 Other adhesives may not be compatible and will void product warranties.

 For Ecoflex ICT and Ecoflex NXT carpet tiles, apply the adhesive with a heavy -duty

frame paint roller with a 3/8” nap. A trowel can also be used (1/16”x1/32”x1/32” U

notch minimum) For Ecoflex AIR tiles, apply the adhesive with a 1/16 x 1/16 x 1/16

square notched trowel.

 The adhesive must be applied in a FULL SPREAD – NOT grid.

 Ensure the proper amount of adhesive is applied to the sub-floor. Prior to installation,

mark off a small area of the sub-floor and determine the adhesive spread rate. This

will allow you to determine the proper coverage level and amount of pressure to

apply to the roller during installation.

 On smooth surfaces, be careful not to apply too little adhesive. Just because a

surface is smooth and/or sealed, it still requires a proper coating of adhesive.

 Allow the adhesive to dry to a clear and tacky state. Tiles must be installed

immediately after adhesive has dried. To determined if the adhesive is dry, press

finger into adhesive. When dry, adhesive must not transfer to finger.

 For installations that involve both Ecoflex ICT and Ecoflex NXT tiles use EnPress PSA

adhesive. Roll the adhesive on under the PVC tile and trowel the adhesive under the

NXT tile. If that isn’t practical, toweling the adhesive for all tiles is acceptable. Use a

1/16”x1/32”x1/32” U notch trowel.

Set-up time is approximately 45 to 90 minutes depending on the climate and humidity.
