At MAPEI, concern for the environmental impact of our products is more than a trend, it is a fundamental part of our philosophy, corporate commitment and industrial responsibility. When you use Ultrabond ECO products, you can trust that our adhesives are environmentally sound because they are water-based, solvent-free, non-flammable, extremely low TVOC, and low odor. Specifiers are urged to consult the manufacturer's technical literature for product selection charts for assistance in selection of products.

          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** MAPEI has additional surface preparation requirements for concrete, wood and metal substrates. Consult their Architectural Catalog for details.
 
          A.Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions. If preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of deviations from manufacturer's recommended installation tolerances and conditions.
 
          B.Do not proceed with installation until substrates have been properly prepared and deviations from manufacturer's recommended tolerances are corrected. Commencement of installation constitutes acceptance of conditions.
          1.Supporting surfaces shall be structurally sound, dry, solid, stable, level, plumb and true to a tolerance in plane of 1/8 inch in 10 feet (3 mm in 3.1 m). Level substrates using materials recommended by adhesive manufacturer based on depth of surface defects requiring patching and toppings.
          2.Supporting surfaces shall be clean and free of dust, oil, grease, paint, tar, wax, curing compounds, sealers, form release agents, primers, free alkali, loosely bonded toppings, loose particles, old adhesive residues and substances that may prevent or reduce adhesion.
          3.Mechanically sand scarify the substrate to completely remove all paint, loosely bonded toppings, loose particles, old adhesive residues and substances that may reduce or prevent adhesion, except do not sand or remove any existing resilient floors or cutback adhesive that may contain asbestos fibers or crystalline silica.
          4.Turn off forced ventilation and floor heating systems prior to installation and protect work against drafts during installation and for a period of at least 48 hours after completion to prevent damage to substrates, installation products and flooring materials. Use indirect auxiliary heaters to maintain the temperature in the area at the recommended workable level. Vent temporary heaters to exterior to prevent carbonation.
          5.Comply with adhesive manufacturer's additional requirements for each type of substrate.
 
          3.2INSTALLATION
 
          A.Install adhesive in accordance with adhesive manufacturer's printed instructions, and flooring manufacturer's additional requirements including the following:
          1.Do not cover expansion joints with adhesive.
          2.Check periodically by lifting material to ensure proper adhesive transfer to the backing.
          3.Roll flooring surface backward across width and length with manufacturer's recommended roller, to break down adhesive ridges and to ensure removal of entrapped air.
          4.After installation, promptly remove adhesive smudges residue with water while adhesive is still fresh and with mineral spirits when dried. Test mineral spirits on flooring to ensure no damage or deterioration of luster will occur.
          5.Restrict traffic for a minimum of 24 hours to allow proper adhesive set-up.
 
          3.3PROTECTION
 
          A.Protect from freezing, immersion in water, adverse temperature conditions and construction traffic in accordance with adhesive manufacturer's and flooring manufacturer's instructions.
