UZIN KE 49 HT High Temperature Adhesive

In areas where sunlight increases ambient temperatures through windows, it is crucial to use an adhesive with high-temperature resistance. UZIN KE 49 HT is specifically formulated for these conditions, up to 60°C, when used to install LVT and vinyl floor coverings by the wet or semi-wet method. It is ideal for rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows or French doors as well as shopfronts with some solar exposure.

UZIN KE 49 HT is ideal for installing LVT and vinyl flooring over underfloor heating systems. It offers high-temperature performance, making it suitable for heated floors in residential, office and other commercial spaces. To ensure proper installation, it's important to follow the guidelines provided in the technical datasheet and to commission the underfloor heating in accordance with industry standards.

Yes, UZIN KE 49 HT dispersion adhesive can be used in areas with high ambient temperatures, up to 60°C, when applied using the wet or semi-wet bond method. It is also suitable as a pressure-sensitive adhesive where necessary, but it should not be used in areas with high solar gain. Temperature fluctuations in these areas can affect the adhesive's ability to resist contraction and expansion. For locations that experience high solar gain or significant temperature variations, the wet or semi-wet installation method is recommended. This approach allows UZIN KE 49 HT to form a more resilient bond, which better accommodates the contraction and expansion of the floor covering.

Glazed commercial spaces often experience concentrated solar gain, which can cause resilient floor coverings to shift and may lead to bond failure if an unsuitable adhesive is used. UZIN KE 49 HT provides a solution for LVT and vinyl floors at ambient temperatures up to 60°C when installed using the wet or semi-wet method. Its formulation supports the floor covering's dimensional stability and helps maintain a secure bond, even in sunlight and fluctuating temperatures.

If luxury vinyl tiles have previously experienced issues like gapping, lifting, or tenting, it is likely that the adhesive used was not suitable for high temperatures or that the bonding method was inappropriate for the conditions. In these cases, switching to UZIN KE 49 HT can offer a more reliable solution. This adhesive is specifically designed to maintain strong adhesion under thermal stress and withstand ambient temperatures up to 60°C. It is recommended for use with LVT (luxury vinyl tile) and vinyl floors in such environments, particularly when the wet or semi-wet bonding method is employed.

UZIN KE 49 HT is suitable for use in high-temperature environments when floors are installed using the wet-set or semi-wet method, provided that the conditions are not too extreme. It is appropriate for environments where ambient temperatures do not exceed 60 °C. It is suitable for partially glazed conservatories but not for fully glazed structures facing extreme temperature changes.

In highly glazed, south-facing conservatories that experience significant and rapid temperature fluctuations, UZIN KE 49 HT has reduced resistance to the contraction and expansion of luxury vinyl tiles (LVT). For these more severe conditions, we recommend using UZIN KE 68, a heavy-duty adhesive designed to withstand extreme temperature changes.
