Shaw 5900

offers

a new

formulation

for

even greater performance. Faster

dry times and

enhanced,

more aggressive

tack make Shaw 5900 the perfect

choice

for fast-track carpet tile

installations.

Shaw modular products can be installed

into wet

adhesive

for

permanent

bonding or

allowed

to dry to its tacky phase for

releasable installations.

Shaw 5900

can be applied by

roller

or trowel

depending

installation

requirements.

INSTALLATON INSTRUCTIONS FOR

ADHESIVE

For more

detailed instructions, refer

to Shaw’s Modular

Installation Guidelines

and the

CRI Installation Standard.

The

substrate

must be

structurally

sound, solid,

stable, level, even,

flat, smooth and dry.

CHECK THE MOISTURE LEVEL

AND pH.

Do not begin the

installation

over concrete

substrates

that do not meet the

following MVER

moisture

vapor

emission

rate requirements.

Moisture: Conduct

Relative Humidity

testing and

results

must be below 95%

(ASTM F-2170).

In addition, concrete

substrate moisture must be tested by the current version of ASTM F1869 anhydrous calcium chloride test. Substrate

moisture vapor emissions cannot exceed 10.0 lbs. per 1000 square feet per 24 hours (4.54 kg/92.9m

/24

hours).



Alkalinity:

pH testing should be

performed

with

results ranging

between 8.0 and 10.0

(ASTM F-710).

Take

corrective measures

if the

results exceed

these limits.

This

product is for

interior installation

only.

PREPARE THE FLOOR



The substrate

must be

structurally

sound, dry, solid and stable.



All substrates must be completely free of dust and dirt, paint, oil, curing or release agents, unapproved sealers or

 existing adhesives, or anything that would interfere with the adhesive making a good bond directly to the substrate.

 Refer to substrate preparation guidelines per current CRI 104.

Use only mechanical means to remove existing adhesives, then finish removal by sanding, grinding, or blasting

 until the bare concrete surface is exposed. Do not utilize solvents or chemical cleaners on the substrate.

Suitable substrates

are:



Exterior-grade

plywood, Group 1, CC type

 Other approved wood

underlayments (per manufacturer

recommendations)



Concrete

and

properly prepared

cement terrazzo



Cement-based self-leveling underlayments

and patching compounds



Embossing levelers applied

over

existing, properly

prepared and

fully

bonded ceramic tile, and sheet vinyl

 A

single layer

properly prepared, fully

bonded

vinyl

composition tile (VCT)



Properly prepared

and primed gypsum

underlayments

that meet the

ASTM

F2419

requirements

for compressive



strength



Wood Association

approved wood underlayments

required

before

installing flooring. Working

APPLY ADHESIVE.

Spread

adhesive evenly

over the subfloor,

keeping

the trowel at a 45

angle

to the subfloor. For

releasable

applications,

wait until the

applied adhesive

has become

clear

and tacky with no

transfer.

Tack time will

vary

due to temperature,

humidity

and floor porosity. For

permanent-set applications, install

the product into semi-wet

adhesive.

Apply pressure

to the

entire surface

of the tile to

ensure

adhesion.

ROLL THE FLOOR.

Roll

the width and length of the floor with a 75- to 100-pound roller.

PROTECT FLOOR.

Protect floor with plywood if

heavy

objects are moved on top of

surface

within 24 hours.

CLEAN UP.

Clean

tools with water while the

adhesive

is still fresh/wet.

Clean

with

mineral

spirits once dried. Use caution with

mineral

spirits, which may be

harmful

to some materials.

LIMITATION

 Do not

install

over any

substrates containing

asbestos.



Install

interior installations

only.

 Do not apply over any

active

cutback adhesive.

 Do not

install

over concrete

substrates

where the

moisture

vapor

emission

rate

(MVER) exceeds

10 lbs/1,000

sf (4.54 kg/92.9 m

)

per 24 hours, when using the

anhydrous

calcium

chloride

test

(ASTM

F1869).

 Do not

install

when

relative humidity

of concrete

slabs exceeds

95%

(ASTM

F2170) or pH readings exceeds 10.

 Use only when the

substrate temperature

is between 50°F and 90°F

(10°C

and 32°C).
