TTT tread trim transition adhesive

DESCRIPTION 

Shaw TTT is a fast-curing, 100%-solids, moisture-curing adhesive designed for installing Shaw's Trims, Treads and Tack-Strip. Offering high bond strength and excellent elongation properties. 

APPROVED SUBSTRATES 

• For interior use only. 

• Wood Association approved wood underlayment and subflooring. See Resilient Wood Substrate Information.  

• Sound and properly prepared concrete (on, above or below grade), terrazzo. 

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION 

• Substrate must be structurally sound, clean, level and dry. 

• Substrate must be free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, paint, curing agents, concrete sealers, adhesives, loosely bonded toppings, loose particles and any other substance or condition that may prevent or reduce adhesion. 

• Do not use over substrates containing asbestos or active cutback adhesive. 

• Fill depressions or cracks with a cementitious patching / leveling compound that meet or exceed Shaw Industries maximum moisture level and pH requirements. Use of gypsum-based patching and/or leveling compounds which contain Portland or high alumina cement and meet or exceed the compressive strength of 3,000 psi are acceptable. 

• For cracks or saw cuts deeper that 1”, Shaw QuikFil is recommended. 

• Installation site must be acclimated with HVAC in operation or the temperature must be controlled between 65-95° F (18- 35° C) and the ambient relative humidity controlled between 30-65% before, during and permanently after the installation. 

• Do not use over chemically abated substrates. 

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND SPREAD RATES 

Read and follow the product specific installation guidelines for layout, design and any special instructions for installation. 

• Install only when the substrate temperature is between 20°F and 100°F (-7°C and 38°C). Low temperatures and low humidity will extend curing times. 

• Insert cartridge into a suitable caulking gun. 

• Cut the tip and puncture the inner seal. 

• Apply a serpentine bead of adhesive to the substrate. 

• Only apply as much adhesive as can be installed within 15 to 30 minutes under normal temperature and humidity conditions.
