NV-GLU Technical Data & Installation Technical Data & Installation General Information The Novalis NV-GLU is a specially formulated acrylic adhesive used for the permanent installation of Novalis glue down vinyl floor coverings. The NV-GLU is waterbased, easy to apply and incredibly strong. The NV-GLU Adhesive Features The NV-GLU is easy to clean up, wet or dry, and will not mar or etch the surface of floor covering. Technical Information Unit Sizes: Excellent Initial Grab Excellent Shear Strength is also resistant to high levels of moisture and alkalinity, whether topical or from the substrate.

Actual times and coverage rates may vary. For indoor use only - do not install in outdoor conditions. Do not install if ambient temperatures and humidity levels are outside of prescribed range or if conditions have reached dew point. Do not install adhesive over substrates which contain known or obvious contaminants, excessive moisture or hydrostatic pressure. Adhesives cannot resist extreme dimensional instability of flooring materials, which may cause gapping, cupping, buckling and/or edge lifting. Do not install over existing materials without consulting the substrate preparation guidelines. For information on the correct trowel to use, see the flooring installation instructions. Using an unspecified trowel may affect the adhesive coverage and adhesion to the flooring or substrate. Novalis International | P: (888) 509 - 3438 | novalis-intl.com |

Technical Data & Installation 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Receiving Material & Storage: Remove all plastic and strapping from the product after delivery. Confirm that the adhesive is approved for use with the flooring, especially in the event you’ve received more than one. Carefully check all materials for shipping damage and note all damage on the bill of lading before accepting the delivery. Material accepted with visible shipping damage that is not reported on the bill of lading will not be covered under warranty. The floor covering and adhesive must be stored in dry indoors conditions...

Technical Data & Installation retarder that is compliant with ASTM E1745 installed directly beneath the slab. Moisture and pH tests are not usually required. Concrete Moisture Mitigation Requirements: When appropriate, use a dimensionally stable, surface-applied moisture mitigation system that, when tested in accordance with ASTM E96 / E96M Standard Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission of Materials (Method B), has a permeability value of ≤ 0.1 grains/sq. ft./hr.. Confirm compliance with the manufacturer before use. Gypsum/Lightweight Substrate Requirements: Gypsum or Lightweight...

Technical Data & Installation Adhesive Acclimation: Check the temperature of the floor covering and adhesive using a non-contact, infrared thermometer - the temperature of both materials must be the same as the inservice temperature (± 2° F) before installation. Application: Only apply as much adhesive as can be covered within the working-time (4-hours), typically to only one side of your starting line at a time. Apply the adhesive slowly and evenly to the substrate at a ~45° angle using the specified trowel notch. Avoid skips, puddles or sharp trowel turns. Allow 15-30 minutes of open time...
