1. An approved primer such as Roberts 370 or Polymer 6000 must be used on all porous surfaces Before application of Intertac the subfloor should be vacuumed and washed to remove all dust from the subfloor 06 APPLICATION OF ADHESIVE Inter Tac is a pressure sensitive compound Application is by long nap paint roller Rate of application is 10m to 14m per litre depending on the porosity of the subfloor On non porous floors the rate of application will change and a spread rate greater than 14m per litre may be obtained in some cases It is mandatory that Inter Tac must tack up before use Colour must change from green to clear and it must not transfer Users assume all risk and liability resulting from the use of Inter Tac It is recommended that users carry out project specific trials to confirm the suitability and application of Inter Tac Note Tack off time will also be longer and relevant to humidity in the work area and general site conditions Note A new long nap roller should be used at the start of each installation Note In certain conditions a stronger bond to the subfloor may be required For a stronger bond the tile can be installed into semi tacked up Intertac adhesive allowing for some adhesive transfer to occur 07 TACTILES Glasbac amp GlasbacRE TacTiles can be used in the installation of both GlasBac and GlasBacRE carpet tile To lift existing carpet tiles simply peel the carpet tile from the TacTile an2.
