Product Information
Full details
The Bostik Stix A300 is designed for professional flooring installers and DIY enthusiasts seeking a high-performance, IMO-certified solution for bonding PVC floor coverings such as vinyl sheets, tiles, and LVT. Its standout benefit is the balance between high initial tack and an extended open time, which allows for precise positioning during complex layouts. One caveat to consider is that while it is highly versatile, it requires specific temperature conditions and proper substrate preparation to reach its full shear strength and durability in high-traffic environments.

FAQs
Is this adhesive suitable for outdoor use?
No, the Stix A300 is designed for interior use only.
Can I use this on concrete floors?
Yes, provided the concrete is properly cured, dry, and free of moisture issues.
How long does the adhesive take to cure?
While it has a long open time, initial set typically occurs within a few hours, but you should wait at least 24-48 hours before subjecting the floor to heavy traffic.
Is it safe for pets and children?
Yes, the product is solvent-free and features a very low VOC (EC1) formulation, making it safe for indoor environments.
What happens if I exceed 27°C with underfloor heating?
Exceeding the +27°C threshold can weaken the bond and potentially cause flooring failure; always monitor the surface temperature.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive drying too quickly
Check room temperature and humidity levels; avoid direct sunlight or strong drafts during application.
Flooring lifting at edges
Ensure correct trowel size was used to achieve proper spread, and apply adequate pressure using a flooring roller after installation.
