Specification

with flooring. Refer to ASTM 710 Standard Practice for Preparing
Concrete Floors.
Wood – Subflooring, such as APA grade plywood, hardwood or
other materials, must be underlayment grade and installed to the
manufacturer’s specifications with adequate ventilation and moisture
protection. Ensure wood substrates have a minimum 18 in. crawl
space with adequate ventilation and moisture barrier protection.
Cracks, chips and joints must be properly patched or repaired. Refer
to ASTM F1482 Standard Practice for Installation and Preparation of
Panel Type Underlayments to Receive Resilient Flooring.
General: Ensure substrate, flooring material and adhesive are fully
acclimated prior to installation at the same temperature and humidity
level expected during normal use (between 65–95°F) with a relative
humidity (RH) of no greater than 65%. Refer to flooring manufacturer’s
specific recommendations and industry standards.
Materials and area temperature must be between 65–95°F with a
maximum RH of 65% for 48 hours before and during installation as well
as for 72 hours afterward. Large temperature or humidity increases or
decreases can affect the flooring and performance of the installation.
Ensure adequate ventilation during flooring installation.

Roberts 2310 is a solvent free adhesive and meets the strict
requirements of the South Coast Air Quality Management District and
may contribute one LEED point for “Low-Emitting Material–Adhesive
and Sealant” (IEQ Credit 4.1). This product may also contribute one
to two LEED points for MR Credit 5 if product is manufactured within
500 miles of the project site. Visit usgbc.org for additional details.
Roberts 2310 is protected by GoldGuard
®
, an antimicrobial protection
system that inhibits the growth of mold, mildew and odor causing
bacteria in both wet and dry adhesive.
Uses: For adhering fiberglass-backed sheet vinyl and dimensionally
stable luxury vinyl tile (12 in. x 12 in.).
For interior installations only.
Substrates: Concrete, APA rated plywood
and terrazzo.
Surface Preparation: Subfloors must be
structurally sound, dry, smooth, flat, level
and free of excess moisture/alkali and all
substances (oil, wax, grease, paint, oil based
sealers, etc.) that might interfere with the
performance of the flooring or its installation.
Ensure the appropriate flatness/ smoothness
to prevent “show through” (telegraphing).
All substrate cracks, holes, high spots and
irregularities must be adequately repaired
to ensure a smooth, finished appearance
to prevent show through and accelerated
wear. Patching compounds must be suitable
for the use application, polymer-fortified and
applied according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Expansion or other moving
joints must not be filled or covered

Permanent Installation Open Time: Up to 25 minutes
Working Time: Up to 45 minutes
Releasable Installation Tack Time: Approximately 50 minutes
Moisture Vapor Emissions: 5 lbs. or less (ASTM F1869)
80% or less (ASTM F2170)
Shelf Life: One year in unopened container
Product Type: Acrylic PSA
pH must not exceed 9.0
Protect from freezing
Application and Installation: Spread adhesive uniformly. Adhesive
ridges should be of sufficient height to achieve full coverage of the
substrate and the back of the flooring material.
For a permanent installation, place flooring into the adhesive while the
adhesive is still fresh. The amount of time in which you have time to
place the flooring will vary with temperature and humidity. The higher
the temperature and the lower the humidity the faster the adhesive
will set.
For a releasable installation, place the flooring into the adhesive after it
has become tacky and does not transfer to your fingertip when touched.
Lift a corner periodically to see if the adhesive is transferring 100%
to the back of the flooring. If the adhesive is not transferring to the
backing; remove adhesive and reapply.
After Installation – Restrict foot traffic and moving of heavy objects for
24 to 48 hours to allow adhesive to cure properly. Premature traffic can
cause installation failure.
Clean Up: Fresh adhesive – warm
soapy water. Dried adhesive – use
mineral spirits sparingly with a clean,
white cotton cloth. DO NOT POUR
CLEANER DIRECTLY ONTO FLOORING.
Refer to material safety data sheet,

The trowel notches referenced are those typically recommended for the type of flooring being installed. They
are normally the minimum size recommended. Surface conditions (roughness and porosity of substrate),
type of flooring and backing will ultimately determine the required trowel notch size and coverage.
Flooring manufacturer’s products differ in characteristics and textures. Always check with the specific
flooring manufacturer’s recommendations for their specific trowel requirements. Less porous substrates
typically require a smaller notched trowel and longer open time than porous substrates. Ensure 100%
transfer of adhesive to the substrate and the flooring backing.
