Adhesivos de especialidad

Pro Tip: Choose a specialty adhesive over a multipurpose one when your specific flooring type or environment demands moisture control, and/or superior bond strength.

Specialty Adhesives are formulated for unique tasks, and to complete some of the most demanding installation projects. These specialty formulations include ceramic tile adhesive, adhesives for stair treads and/or remodeled risers, and web spray construction adhesives.

Here are some of the most frequent uses, and the specialty adhesives that match the specific challenges they present:

Stair retread, remodeling riser installations, and common repair projects
The key factors here are steady, controlled application – and precision. And these factors are what make ROBERTS SR90 STAIRS & REPAIRS a preferred choice of installers: This is a high-performance utility adhesive that provides great green grab and cures quickly to ensure superior bond strength – and it comes in a cartridge gun applicator that makes the jobs a lot easier.

Interior stair nose installation
Successful stair nose installation requires precise cuts, a perfectly flush fit to the flooring - and the right adhesive. That’s why ROBERTS 8600 NOSE BOND is a favorite of professional installers and DIY afficionados. It is specially formulated for interior installation of wood, laminate, and rigid PVC stair nosings with the additional benefit that because it is a water-resistant formulation, it can be used for wood moldings, wood trim installs and repairs.

Bonus tip: Work from the top down, installing the riser first, then slide the nosing securely into place so you do not disturb the uncured glue as you move down the stairs.

Ceramic Tile Installation. If you are set to install porous or semi-porous ceramic tile, porcelain wall tile, mosaic tile, natural stone, quarry and thick brick veneers – look no further than ROBERTS 5900 Ceramic Tile Adhesive. Ideal for direct bond installation, ROBERTS 5900 is a premixed, ready-to-use, high performance adhesive formulated to resist mold, mildew and intermittent water exposure, which means you can also use it to adhere backsplash, countertops and shower walls. And why is it a favorite? Because it spreads effortlessly, sets quickly, and is easy to clean up.

Carpet, carpet pad bonding, and carpet repair
If your project involves permanent or repositionable bonding of carpet or carpet pad, you need a fast tack, fast grab web spray with high bond strength like ROBERTS 8200 QUICKBOND All-Purpose Spray Adhesive. This is a water-resistant aerosol with excellent repositioning and the versatility to be used on a wide variety of substrates including concrete, APA-rated plywood, existing VTC (free of wax/finish), primed gypcrete and terrazzo.

Cork Underlayment Installation
Cork underlayment is a premium, eco-friendly layer used beneath hard flooring (like laminate or engineered hardwood) to absorb sound, improve thermal insulation, and add cushion. Fantastic for noise reduction and comfort, it requires a latex-based adhesive like ROBERTS 7250 Professional-Grade Cork Underlayment Adhesive that has a strong initial grab and good tack for faster, more efficient installation. It is formulated to bond with concrete, and APA-rated plywood, environmentally friendly, and odorless when dry.

Drywall, Paneling, and Foam Board Installation
Drywall, paneling, and foam board installation is a multi-step wall construction process. The foam board provides thermal insulation and a moisture barrier, the drywall acts as a required fire barrier and smooth paintable surface, and paneling serves as an aesthetic, decorative finish. What they all have in common is that they all need an adhesive like Capitol PY30 Polybond Drywall & Panel Construction Adhesive that provides immediate grab with good tack for accurate placement, and a permanent bond, reducing the need for nailing and preventing nail pops. Conveniently, you can use Capitol PY30 with any standard cartridge gun, with the additional advantage that it is easy to clean up with water.
