K 182 Neoprene Contact Adhesive Extra Contact adhesive for floor coverings • Very wide application range • Extremely high bond strength • Instant load-bearing Scope of use Solvent-based, extra strong neoprene contact adhesive for bonding – rubber coverings with a smooth, sanded backing and moulded stairs – homogeneous and heterogeneous PVC coverings – linoleum and cork coverings – textile and needle punch coverings – stair nosing and skirting boards – Thomsit Floor® TF 303 and TF 305 on all surfaces that are ready to receive flooring. Do not use on Thomsit FF 69 Flex Finish or on other materials that are sensitive to solvents. Substrate preparation Substrates must comply with the requirements of ATV DIN 18 365 "Flooring work", BS CP 5325, 8203, 8204 or comparable national standards. In particular, they must be clean, free from structural defects, firm, dry and free of substances which may impair adhesion. After mechanical pretreatment (e.g. grinding / vacuuming), prepare the substrate with suitable Thomsit primers and levelling compounds so that it is ready to receive floor coverings. On mastic asphalt screeds apply a layer of at least 2 mm thickness. Strip dense, smooth substrates, like ceramic tiles, natural stone or metal surfaces, using an intensive cleaner and grind if necessary.

Allow to dry completely, testing with a finger to make sure that the adhesive is touch-dry. Install the floor covering, taking care to position it accurately, and rub or tap it down well. Once in place, it cannot be repositioned. Wait at least 24 hours before welding the joins. The product contains high levels of solvent. Before purchase/use, check if the use of a solvent-free alternative product is possible (e.g., Thomsit DT 700, K 188 E or K 175 ). Thomsit K 182 is highly flammable. Solvents contained in the product vaporize during application which can form explosive/highly flammable vapour / air mixtures. Once the adhesive has hardened, the release of volatile organic substances is negligible. Nevertheless, ensure good ventilation during and after application and drying. Avoid eating, drinking or smoking while processing this product. Information for allergy sufferers on: +49 (0) 211 797 0 (key word: emergency). Keep out of the reach of children. Important information • Do not use on Thomsit FF 69 Flex Finish. • It cannot be completely excluded that the solvent contained in the adhesive may cause discoloration with certain types of CV/PVC flooring. For more information please contact the respective flooring manufacturer. We recommend using dispersion adhesives or dry adhesive tapes. • If adhesive has solidified due to cold storage, keep in a warm place for at least 24 hours before use with the lid tightly closed. • Tightly close opened buckets and use them up quickly. • Open and working time may vary depending on temperature and absorbency of the substrate. They will be shorter at higher temperatures and higher absorbency, but longer at lower temperatures ans with non-absorbent substrates. For professional users.
