Technical Data Sheet (TDS)
| Product Description |
| STAUF AQP-200 is an acrylic-based primer created for a dust-free installation and better adhesion of all STAUF adhesives. AQP-200 penetrates deep and leaves a rough texture to assist in adhesion between adhesive and surface to be applied. Spreads easily and creates an evenly absorbent surface ready for installation of flooring. It has superior coverage and dries very quickly. |
| Pre-Installation Checklist |
| A successful installation requires proper preparation of the subfloor. Read and understand all applicable guidelines and technical data sheets before installation. Follow industry standards and flooring manufacturers' recommendations for subfloor moisture content, design, layout, and application of flooring materials. The backing of all flooring material must be solid, sound, and free of anti-adherents. All slab constructions must meet the specific requirements of the floor covering to be installed. |
| Sub Floor Examination |
| Prior to installation, the subfloor must be checked according to applicable installation guidelines. It must be solid and sound, permanently dry, clean, free of chaps and anti-adherents, and resistant to pressure and tension. The moisture content of all floors must be measured before installation. |
| Moisture content in concrete subfloors must be below 3#/24hr/1000SF using the Calcium Chloride Test or below 75% RH using an in-situ probe per ASTM F1869 and F2170. |
| Sub Floor Preparation |
| The subfloor's condition will determine which type of mechanical treatment is required (e.g., wire brushing, sanding, grinding, or shot blasting). Dust, paint, curing compounds, sealers, residual adhesives, or other surface contaminants MUST be removed, and a porous surface must be achieved by suitable means. The installer can only determine the extent of subfloor preparation at the site. Clean the surface with an industrial vacuum cleaner and tack the floor with a damp microfiber mop before application. Do not use sweeping compounds unless water-based, as most others contain oil or wax, which will act as an anti-adherent and prevent primers, sealers, leveling compounds, coatings, and/or adhesives from bonding to the concrete. Cracks and gaps must be treated before application of primers, sealers, leveling compounds, coatings, and/or adhesives (see Technical Information #19 @ www.staufusa.com). |
| Installation Procedure |
| Shake can before use and apply primer undiluted with a brush or foam roller. Avoid puddles as they prolong the drying period. Apply primer once and not too thick. On poorly absorbent subfloors the primer must be applied sparingly; Do not leave a visible layer of primer on the floor. Once dried, the primer is transparent. Higher temperatures speed up the drying process. |
| Storage |
| Store and transport protected from freezing. Recommended minimum temperatures are 35°F for transport and 40°F for storage. Do not stir the product if frozen, allow it to thaw completely. |
| Limitations |
| When using other than STAUF products in conjunction with STAUF primers, sealers, leveling compounds, or adhesives, STAUF denies any and all responsibility for any ensuing problems and/or damages without prior written authorization from STAUF. |
| Do not dilute primer/sealer or mix with other products. |
| Do not use on damp subfloors. |
| In case of an accident, injury, spill, or exposure, see SDS for information. Consult the Technical Data Sheet at www.staufusa.com for updated information. |
