Water-Based Monocomponent Adhesive for Wood Floors
Product Description:
ADECON E3 PLUS is a single-component vinyl adhesive in water dispersion, specially formulated for bonding unvarnished solid wood floors of any size onto concrete subfloors or other types of absorbent substrates. It delivers excellent performance, easy application, and is solvent-free, making it ideal for indoor use, including installations over underfloor heating systems.

Subfloor must be compact, dry, clean, and free from dust, paint, wax, or loose materials.
Verify subfloor moisture using a carbide hygrometer:
<2% for traditional screeds
<1.7% for screeds with underfloor heating
Wood moisture content must be between 7% and 11%.
A vapour barrier is required if there is a risk of rising damp.
For low-porosity or dusty screeds, mechanical sanding and vacuuming are recommended.
Weak or dusty surfaces should be treated with K31 primer.
Allow both adhesive and wood to reach ambient temperature before use.
Apply using a notched trowel suited to the size of the wood strips.
Press flooring firmly into the adhesive bed to ensure full contact.
Maintain an expansion gap of 8–10 mm between flooring and walls.
For tongue-and-groove boards, place weights on top to maintain firm contact during curing.
Do not glue side joints unless specified by the wood manufacturer.
