Applications & Uses

Application Procedure

Surface Preparation:

Substrates must be prepared according to instructions for the preparation of synthetic playing surfaces according to the type of use foreseen, and according to current regulations and standards.

Mixing:

The two components which make up TURF FIX 550 are contained in pre-dosed plastic containers. Part A:B in 10:1 ratio by weight. Mixing must be carried out using a low speed mechanical mixer, until a smooth paste with a uniform color is obtained. The setting time and pot life of the product depend on the ambient temperature at the time of application.

Spreading:

Spread TURF FIX 550 on the jointing strips, spread the adhesive evenly over the entire surface of the jointing strips. The maximum open time of the product is approximately 45-60 minutes under normal temperature conditions.

Sheet Fixing:

The sheets must be fixed along the jointing strips within 45-60 minutes of application of TURF FIX 550 at +23°C, while it is still fresh, to guarantee full contact. It is recommended to place weights along the joints to avoid irregularities in flatness.

Product Applications

TURF FIX 550 is recommended for bonding of synthetic grass sheets/tiles and rubber sheets/tiles for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Note: It is not recommended to use TURF FIX 550 at temperature less than 0°C. When the application temperatures are greater than 35°C, the pot life of TURF FIX 550 may be greatly reduced.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

• 12 months from date of manufacturing in original unopened containers. 
• Store product (10°C to 30°C) for maximum storage life.
• Higher temperatures reduce normal storage life.
• Must be stored in closed airtight containers, as the product reacts with moisture, leading to an increase in viscosity and finally gelation.
• Rotate stock on a “first in-first out” basis.

Shelf Life

12 months
