Description

One 4 Gallon Pail of Shaw Floors 5100 Flooring Adhesive Superior Grade Pressure Sensitive
Technical Specification
Shaw 5100 Carpet Tile Adhesive
DESCRIPTION Shaw 5100 is a premium, acrylic based pressure sensitive adhesive for the installation of Shaw Carpet tile or
non-vinyl backed carpet tile.
APPROVED SUBSTRATES  For interior use only.
 Wood Association approved wood underlayment and subflooring. See Wood Substrate Information
 Sound and properly prepared concrete (on, above or below grade), metal, wood, fiberglass and terrazzo.
 Existing products should be over 1 year old, secure and fully adhered with a full spread of adhesive.
Remove all waxes and polishes from the existing floor before installation.
SUBSTRATE
TESTING
 RH-95% (ASTM F-2170), provided the site is absent of hydrostatic pressure.
 CaCl / MVER 10 lbs (ASTM F-1869)
 pH-5-11 (ASTM F-710)
Shaw recognizes the RH test as the qualifying standard.
For older slabs or slabs with a prior history of moisture related issues, Shaw Technical Support recommends
moisture mitigation in the form of a 2-part epoxy system, such as MoistureTEK.
For newer slabs with an intact moisture retarder, initial moisture levels should recede over time. For recorded
levels above 95%, higher moisture resistant adhesives are recommended
SUBSTRATE
PREPARATION
 Substrate must be structurally sound, clean, level and dry.
 Substrate must be free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, paint, curing agents, concrete sealers, adhesives, loosely
bonded toppings, loose particles and any other substance or condition that may prevent or reduce
adhesion.
 Do not use over substrates containing asbestos or active cutback.
 Fill depressions or cracks with a cementitious patching / leveling compound that meet or exceed Shaw
Industries maximum moisture level and pH requirements. Use of gypsum-based patching and/or leveling
compounds which contain Portland or high alumina cement and meet or exceed the compressive strength
of 3,000 psi are acceptable.
 Installation site must be acclimated with HVAC in operation or the temperature must be controlled
between 65-95O
F (18-35O
C) and the ambient relative humidity controlled between 30-65% before, during
and permanently after the installation.
 Do not use over chemically abated substrates.
APPLICATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Read and follow the product specific installation guidelines for layout, design and any special instructions for
installation.
 Spread adhesive using the recommended trowel or roller.
 Spread adhesive evenly over substrate, keeping the trowel at a 45O
angle to the substrate.
Porous Non-Porous
Flash Time 15 minutes 30 minutes The waiting time required before installing floor
covering.
Working Time 8-hours 8-hours The window of time for the adhesive to accept floor
covering.
Note: Coverage rate, flash time and working time may vary based on temperature, humidity,
substrate porosity, jobsite conditions and application practices.
Areas with lower than normal relative humidity will result in a reduced working time.
After installation, roll floor covering with a 75 – 100 lb. roller.
Areas with lower than normal relative humidity will result in a reduced working time.
For releasable installations, allow the adhesive to become clear and tacky with no transfer.
For permanent bond installations, install carpet tile into semi-wet adhesive.
