High Quality Excelsior Flooring Adhesive

EXCELSIOR ADHESIVE FOR SPECIALIST ESD FLOORING PROJECTS

Different types of flooring require different adhesives, and the Excelsior PSD-805 should not be used as a general flooring adhesive. This is a specialist product for ESD vinyl and rubber flooring, and it is a top choice for projects where taking control of static is a key component of the installation. ESD flooring is usually chosen for spaces where static discharge needs to be carefully managed, and this adhesive performs an active role in helping the flooring to perform as required. 

The PSD-805 adhesive has been specially engineered to help with the dissipation of static charge by working with ESD tile and a grounding source. It’s a practical option if you are thinking beyond how the flooring will look, but how easy it will be to install, and how the installation will function long-term. The product comes in two sizes, a 13 lb and a 40 lb pail, so you can choose the exact amount you’ll need to complete the installation, effectively 13 lbs, 26 lbs (2 x 13 lbs), 40 lb, or 53 lbs (1 x 40 lb + 1 x 13 lb) pails so you’re not spending more than you need on the flooring adhesive. 

CHOOSE A PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE WITH A FIRM BOND

The Excelsior PSD-805 is an adaptive and flexible type of adhesive that can be used in residential and commercial properties, and one of its key benefits is that it is pressure sensitive. You can use this product in multiple types of applications, depending on the exact type of substrate and the flooring you’ll be installing. If you have a rough and porous substrate, then using it as a wet-set adhesive makes sure all of the bumps are filled as the adhesive levels out automatically. On substrates that aren’t as porous, you can opt for a dry application on site because not all flooring behaves in the same way. 

If you have a floor that is slightly porous but doesn’t need much levelling out, then you can also opt for a tacky-wet installation to grab the tile or rubber flooring and bond it well. Some kinds of substrate can absorb lots of liquids, especially natural stone or aged wood, and this adhesive works under a range of site conditions. Once installed, the adhesive cures hard to a firm set, meaning the final result is not loose or resealable. This is especially important for commercial flooring experiencing high traffic to keep it stable during use by reducing movement, even when the surface is used heavily from footfall or rolling loads. 

A QUALITY ADHESIVE MADE FOR INDOOR VINYL AND RUBBER ESD FLOORING

Excelsior PSD-805 is designed for indoor installation of ESD vinyl and rubber flooring materials, which makes it the top choice for many contractors who know exactly how well this specialist adhesive works. It has a specific role within flooring where ESD vinyl flooring and rubber flooring are being installed, whether it’s a tile or sheet installation. The rubber ESD style of flooring requires a strong backing, so we recommend using wet adhesive set directly. For vinyl ESD flooring, depending on the substrate conditions, you can choose how you want it to be applied. 

If the vinyl sheet is thin and the substrate is rough, over time, without the use of a proper adhesive, the substrate can cause the vinyl to become misshapen and bumpy. That’s where the Excelsior PSD-805 works its magic, as if you apply it with a wet-set or tacky-wet set, the bumps are smoothed over, and you lay the vinyl directly onto a smooth surface. It even works with dry-set, so you cover the floor first in the adhesive so it all becomes the same smoothness, then apply your flooring straight on top. This works whether the floor is made of prepared concrete, natural stone, metal, or wood, making Excelsior PSD-805 a very versatile choice. 

EXCELSIOR PSD-805 IS LOW VOC, SOLVENT-FREE, AND SUITED TO PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

Excelsior PSD-805 has lots of features that make it appealing to all manner of professional flooring projects, whether installed by the homeowner or by a flooring contractor. If you want a floor that won’t release any harmful chemicals into the air, then the Excelsior PSD-805 is a top choice as it is low VOC as well as being solvent-free, so there’s no lingering scent in the days and weeks after installation. 

For commercial properties, the product is also FloorScore Certified and contributes to a business’s LEED credits. This makes it suitable for projects where air quality and building standards need to be adhered to high standards. When set, Excelsior PSD-805 has excellent shear strength, so whether people are running across the floor, they won’t cause movement between the vinyl and the substrate, thanks to the adhesive in the centre. This keeps impact to a minimum, and it can even be used on stair treads to increase the longevity of the nosing.
