Chemique Adhesives Launches New VOC Free One Component Pedestal Adhesive

Being VOC free, accreditations for Polyped 1 pedestal adhesive include ‘Indoor Air Comfort Gold’, ‘EMICODE at EC1 Plus’ and ‘BREEAM International’.

Requiring no mixing, this moisture curing polyurethane adhesive has been developed for pedestal installation and repair / refurbishment applications. The adhesive exhibits a thixotropic nature which helps to gap fill voids between substrates, whilst maintaining the integrity of the bond.

"We have been working on the development of a new pedestal adhesive that was safer for the user, whilst still focusing on quality.” commented Stuart Francis, Managing Director of Chemique Adhesives. “This new updated formula is VOC free, meaning that the adhesive fulfils the requirement of lower emissions and contributes to a safer working indoor environment.”

Polyped 1 offers superior adhesion to galvanised and non-galvanised pedestals as well as concrete and other materials commonly used in the raised access flooring industry.

To add to its performance, Polyped 1 complies with the T15 “pedestal strength” test and the T42 “swinging bag” test. Furthermore, a standard 9kg pack of Polyped 1 will bond between 200 - 300 pedestals (dependent on pedestal design and quality of the subfloor).
