Being VOC-free, accreditations for Polyped 1 pedestal adhesive include ‘Indoor Air Comfort Gold’, ‘EMICODE at EC1 Plus’ and ‘BREEAM International’.
Requiring no mixing, this moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive has been developed for pedestal installation and repair/refurbishment applications. The adhesive exhibits a thixotropic nature which helps to gap fill voids between substrates, whilst maintaining the integrity of the bond.
"We have been working on the development of a new pedestal adhesive that was safer for the user, whilst still focusing on quality,” commented Stuart Francis, managing director of Chemique Adhesives. “This new updated formula is VOC-free, meaning that the adhesive fulfils the requirement of lower emissions and contributes to a safer working indoor environment.”
Polyped 1 offers superior adhesion to galvanised and non-galvanised pedestals as well as concrete and other materials commonly used in the raised access flooring industry.
To add to its performance, Polyped 1 complies with the T15 “pedestal strength” test and the T42 “swinging bag” test. Furthermore, a standard 9kg pack of Polyped 1 will bond between 200 - 300 pedestals (depending on pedestal design and quality of the subfloor).
