Ruvitex A Contact adhesive (bonding FG & F Plus)

Ruvitex Contact Adhesive 

Ruvitex contact adhesive is a two way stick or contact adhesive suitable for bonding Ruvitex PVC membranes to a variety of substrates including tissue faced polyurethane insulation, plywood/OSB and timber. Ruvitex Adhesive Contact ’a’ is generally used to bonded membranes to vertical surfaces such as up-stand details etc.

Coverage

Approximately 3 sqm per litre depending on temperature

Application

Apply adhesive to both surfaces. Allow to dry for 5 minutes or until the adhesive film no longer transfers to the fingers. Join the two surfaces taking care not to trap air and use as much pressure as possible in consolidating the bond.

Assembly

Bring the two dry coated surfaces into contact and press together over the whole bond area. Hand pressure is normally sufficient , but when applicable a hand roller may be used. Sustained pressure is unnecessary.

In conditions of high humidity a ‘bloom’ may form on the surface. This reduces tack and inhibits coalescence. It is not advisable to apply and use the adhesive under these conditions.

The adhesive and roof temperature during application must not be below 6°C or in excess of 25°C as the performance of the adhesive will be dramatically reduced.
