Product Information
Full details
The Bostik Fix A320 Tack is a professional-grade, solvent-free adhesive specifically engineered for commercial environments, such as offices and raised access flooring, where frequent carpet tile or LVT replacement is necessary. It provides a permanently tacky bond that allows for easy removal of tiles without damaging the substrate, though users should note it is not intended for permanent, high-bond installations where a rigid, non-removable finish is required.

FAQs
Can I use Bostik Fix A320 on wood subfloors?
It is designed for concrete, screeds, and existing resilient floors; consult a professional if installing over wood to ensure the board surface is correctly primed or treated.
Is this adhesive suitable for permanent vinyl flooring?
No, this is a tackifier intended for removable carpet tiles and looselay LVT; it will not provide the bond strength required for standard permanent vinyl installations.
How long does it take for the adhesive to become tacky?
The time varies based on ambient temperature and porosity of the substrate, but typically it should be left to dry until it feels tacky to the touch without transferring to your fingers.
Does it contain harmful solvents?
No, it is a solvent-free polymer dispersion, making it safe for indoor use with minimal odour.
Can it be used in areas with heavy foot traffic?
Yes, it is designed for commercial office environments and performs well under heavy foot traffic when tiles are properly installed.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive is not becoming tacky
Ensure the subfloor is not too cold and the ambient humidity is within recommended ranges; excessive moisture in the subfloor can delay tack-off time.
Tiles are lifting prematurely
Verify that the subfloor was sufficiently cleaned of oils or dust and that the adhesive was allowed to reach the proper tack level before tile placement.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure that the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Apply the adhesive using an appropriate notched trowel or roller, ensuring an even distribution to achieve the desired tacky finish. Allow the adhesive to reach a 'tack-off' state before installing the flooring. For maintenance, keep the floor free of excess moisture and ensure ambient temperatures remain stable. If using over underfloor heating, always verify that the heating system has been properly commissioned and that the surface temperature limit of +27°C is strictly observed.
