Bona R848 is an, according to ISO 17178, elastic 1-component Silane based adhesive
for dimensional stable multilayered, engineered parquet. Tensions to the sub floor are
reduced. The use of a primer is in general not necessary. The adhesive hardens by a
chemical reaction with moisture.
Note: Bona R848 can also be used, under suitable conditions, for the installation of
solid timber products such as 22 mm industrial, 22 mm block parquet. The installation
of solid parquet must be done in accordance with local standards and suitable site
conditions. As there are no general recommendations for this application, please
contact Bona for further information.
Preparation
The substrate must in general be even, totally dry, clean, free from cracks and physically sound. The surface should also be slightly textured. If applicable, it must meet the requirements of local standards or codes of practice. If necessary it should be professionally prepared for laying. A primer is typically not needed. If the sub floor is problematic the use of a primer like Bona D501, R410, R540 or R580 can improve it. A broadcasting of sand into Bona R410 can be omitted, if the surface stays clean and the parquet is glued with R848 within 24 h. Uneven floors should be levelled with Bona H600, H610 (filling of holes), H660 or H670. Suitable substrates (also in association with under floor heating) are :
Application:
Before using the adhesive the following climatic conditions must be met (values for
Central Europe):
Air temperature: min. 18°C; Floor temperature: min. 15°C (with underfloor heating max.
20 °C); R.H: max. 70 %
The adhesive itself must, if necessary, be brought to the right temperature. After
opening the bucket remove the protective foil and hardened adhesive at the edges.
The adhesive should be applied evenly using a notched trowel appropriate to the
flooring being laid (see below). The parquet should be laid on the adhesive and pressed
down firmly during the open time, approx. 30 minutes. If on the sub floor applied
adhesive has a skin, remove adhesive and apply new. If some adhesive is pressed up
in joints (so that it might come into direct contact with the finish) it must be carefully
removed. Depending on the expected average conditions the parquet needs, for the
best adhesion, the correct moisture content of the wood to be selected. Solid wood
parquet should be slightly more humid whilst multi-layered or prefinished parquet
should be slightly drier. E.g. in Central Europe average room conditions of 20°C and 50
% relative air humidity can be expected. Prefinished parquet shall have in average 8
%. Typical deviations from the average are +/- 2 %. Where doubts exist, avoid too dry
material.
Please also refer to the instructions for use provided by the parquet manufacturer.
