Frequently Asked Questions
A pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) is an adhesive that forms a bond when light pressure is applied, without the need for heat, water or a chemical reaction. Pressure sensitive adhesives are frequently used for resilient floor coverings, such as sheet vinyl or cushioned vinyl floors. A good example is UZIN KE 2000 S, which can be used as a pressure sensitive adhesive for a variety of different floor coverings, including sheet vinyl, linoleum and rubber floors. UZIN KE 2000 S can be left to partially dry before the vinyl flooring is installed, allowing for the floor coverings' natural movement. Some pressure-sensitive adhesives can also be used as wet-bed adhesives, such as UZIN KE 2000 S.
A pressure sensitive adhesive is used for high performance floor covering installation. Pressure sensitive adhesives such as UZIN KE 2000 S form a tacky, semi-wet film, which allows longer working time and greater control for the installer. UZIN KE 2000 S also supports dimensional stability by holding floors while still allowing minimal movement to relieve stress and accommodate the natural movement of the floor covering. Pressure sensitive adhesives are ideal for installing vinyl floor coverings as they are more tolerant of plasticisers (as long as the subfloor preparation is correct, such as a 3 mm depth of smoothing compounds). UZIN KE 2000 S is also solvent-free and low-odour and EC1 Plus certified for low emissions, ideal for use in sustainable projects. In the case of UZIN KE 2000 S, it can be used both as a wet set and as a pressure sensitive adhesive for flexibility.
A pressure sensitive adhesive is designed to bond the covering in its semi-wet, pressure-sensitive state, while a standard wet set adhesive bonds the covering as it is placed into a wet adhesive bed. In practice, this means that pressure sensitive systems often offer longer working times, whereas wet set installations usually require faster, more precise handling. UZIN KE 2000 S offers flexible installation options, as it can be used as a wet-set adhesive, a pressure-sensitive adhesive, a contact adhesive, or even a tackifier when applied with a nylon roller. This flexibility allows the installer to choose the bonding method suited to the specific job or flooring covering installed.
The best type of adhesive for installing sheet vinyl or PVC flooring is usually a high-quality, solvent-free dispersion adhesive that provides a strong, permanent bond and is easy to apply with a notched trowel. Many modern flooring adhesives, such as UZIN KE 2000 S, can be used for sheet vinyl flooring and PVC tile coverings and can be applied as a wet-set or pressure-sensitive adhesive, depending on the installation method, site conditions, and floor covering. For areas subject to high solar gain, extreme temperature fluctuations, or moisture, a specialist high-temperature or heavy-duty adhesive such as UZIN KE 68, a single-component adhesive, or UZIN KR 430, a 2‑component heavy-duty PU adhesive, is recommended. Ultimately, the best adhesive is the one listed as suitable in the vinyl/PVC manufacturer’s installation instructions, compatible with the substrate and site climate and used in accordance with the adhesive’s technical data sheet.
A multi-purpose adhesive is a versatile product designed to bond various types of floor and, in some cases, wall coverings using a single adhesive. This simplifies product selection and reduces the need for on-site inventory. Typical applications include resilient coverings such as luxury vinyl tile (LVT), PVC/vinyl, linoleum, and rubber floors, as well as textile coverings like carpets, and certain insulation or installation underlays.
An example of a modern multi-purpose dispersion adhesive is UZIN KE 2000 S. This adhesive is specifically developed to bond a wide range of resilient and textile floor coverings, including sheet vinyl, LVT, linoleum, rubber floors, and carpets. Additionally, it is suitable for use as a contact adhesive for skirting or with UZIN underlays, making it particularly ideal for projects where different types of coverings need to be installed with a single adhesive solution.
Yes, many floor coverings can be installed on underfloor heating, provided the substrate and system meet the relevant standards and are correctly heated up and cooled down before installation. UZIN KE 2000 S pressure sensitive adhesive is suitable for use on heated screeds when installed in accordance with the product’s technical data sheet and correct commissioning of the underfloor heating. The surface temperature at floor level must remain within the limits specified in the floor covering and adhesive instructions (typically not exceeding about 27 °C), and the subfloor must be dry, smooth and load-bearing. When these conditions are met, UZIN KE 2000 S adhesive can provide a reliable, permanent bond for vinyl, LVT, or lino floor coverings and carpet installations on underfloor heating.
