Storage temperature between +5 °C and +25 °C. Store cool and dry. Protect against direct sunlight and frost.

The substrate must be ready for laying, i.e. level, firm, clean, dry and dust-free. The requirements according to local standards apply.

Concrete, cement screed

Grind surface, e.g. with a single disc grinding machine, until the surface is firm and non-slip and clean thoroughly with an industrial vacuum cleaner.

Calcium sulphate screed, calcium sulphate self-levelling screed

Grind surface, e.g. with a single disc grinding machine, until the surface is firm and non-slip and clean thoroughly with an industrial vacuum cleaner shortly before applying adhesive.

Glazed ceramic tiles

Degrease with Sika® Aktivator-205 or grind surface and clean with an industrial vacuum cleaner.

Dry floor constructions, e.g. wood or plasterboard (chipboard, veneer)

For gluing solid parquet flooring, you need two floating layers of chipboard or OSB boards, offset, glued and screwed together (minimum layer thickness 25 mm). Floating dry floor constructions must have a minimum coating thickness of 22 mm. Otherwise screw or glue these constructions to the substrate so that they are firmly and securely seated.

Other substrates

Please contact Sika Technical Service.

Sika® AcouBond® System can be used without primer on (ready to install) cement screeds, calcium sulphate creeds, sanded mastic asphalt, chipboard V100, concrete and ceramic tiles.

Pre-treat cement screeds with high moisture content and substrates bearing traces of old adhesive with Sika® Primer MB, Sika® Primer MB Rapid or Sika® Primer MR Fast.

Cement-based substrates with excessive residual moisture and substrates with old adhesive residues should be pre-treated with Sika® Primer MB, Sika® Primer MB Rapid or Sika® Primer MR Fast.

For further information, consult corresponding product data sheet or contact the local Sika technical service.

Lay Sika® Layer-03 and/or Sika® Layer Silent parallel to the parquet laying direction on the prepared surface. Ensure that the individual strips are pushed tight together but never overlapping.

Respectively an applicator gun for tubular bags or for cartridges is needed for use of the adhesive. Apply adhesive with manual, rechargeable or compressed-air gun into all designated mesh slots. Keep the application nozzle vertical to the substrate.

Important: Bead dimension must be 10 * 8 mm. Never apply adhesive to the mat between the slits.

Adjust parquet elements and then push into the adhesive until they are resting fully on the respective Sika® Layer Mat. The parquet elements can then be tapped with a hammer and block until they are laid tightly together.

The distance to the wall must be at least 1 - 2 cm depending on type of parquet and room size.

The laying instructions of the wood manufacturer must be taken into consideration.

Limits

Sika® AcouBond® System is ideal for gluing 3-ply parquet and selected, non-swelling solid parquet, e.g. Oak, Douglas fir, Merbau, Jatoba, Iroko, Elm or Wenge, in the following dimensions:
 

Solid boards

Clean application equipment immediately after use with Sika® Remover-208. Once cured, material can only be removed mechanically.

For cleaning skin, use Sika® Cleaning Wipes-100.

If the parquet surface is soiled before the application, check its compatibility.
