A P x le si e d A Synthetic resin-based adhesive in alcohol for wooden flooring WHERE TO USE Use Adesilex PA for bonding: • parquet in strips or mosaic; • any type of wood flooring in small sizes; • prefinished parquet in small sizes on • anhydrite and asphalt screeds; • cementitious screeds; • wood underlayments; • chipboard and masonite panels; • Do not use in areas that are extremely cold: the area should be heated in winter. • Do not use over screeds if rising damp is present (install a vapour barrier between the ground and the screed). • Do not use in open areas without doors or closings. • Do not use if the wood has a moisture content incompatible with the environmental humidity. • Do not use if the screed is not dry or if the moisture content is higher than that recommended by the flooring manufacturer (check the moisture content throughout the entire thickness). • underfloor heating systems; • Mapecem, Topcem and Topcem Pronto screeds. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Adesilex PA is a rapid-setting synthetic resin-based adhesive in alcohol formulated in a thixotropic, easy to trowel paste of a light wood colour. Adesilex PA does not contain water and by the solvent evaporation it forms a film with high bonding strength and flexibility and absorbs the normal thermal and hygrometric movement of wood over the substrate. RECOMMENDATIONS • Do not use Adesilex PA for wooden planking and large size pre-finished wood sections (use Lignobond). • Do not use if the walls and ceilings in the area are not completely dry. APPLICATION PROCEDURE Preparing the substrate The substrates must be dry, flat, sound, free of dust, loose particles, cement laitance, varnish, wax, oils, rust, and gypsum residues. The moisture content must be as recommended by the flooring manufacturer. Check the moisture content throughout the entire thickness of the substrate with an electric or carbide hygrometer, keeping in mind that the latter gives only approximate values.

Before use refer to the “Safety Instructions for the preparation and application” paragraph and the information on the packing and safety data sheet Customs class: APPLICATION DATA Recommended application temperature range: Set to light foot traffic at +23°C - 50% R.H.: after at least 48 to 72 hours FINAL PERFORMANCE DATA Underfloor heating systems: Tensile adhesion (oak on concrete) after 28 days at +23°C:

For forming fast-drying cement screeds with controlled shrinkage use Mapei’s special hydraulic binders: Mapecem, which enables flooring to be installed after 24 hours and Topcem after 7 days. Floating screeds over insulation or light-weight layers (eg. light-weight concrete) and concrete slabs on grade must be provided with a vapour barrier to prevent rising damp. Weak concrete on screed surfaces must be removed or, where possible, consolidate with Prosfas or Primer EP (see the Technical Data Sheet). Cracks or crazing should be repaired with Eporip (see the Technical Data Sheet). If levelling...
