Frequently asked questions
What is Fatrabond 1214 used for?
Fatrabond 1214 is formulated for bonding Fatrafol felt-backed roof membranes to various substrates. It provides a secure, high-strength bond essential for roofing applications.
How long is the working time for this adhesive?
The open time for Fatrabond 1214 is 15 minutes at 20 °C. This window allows for careful membrane placement and adjustment before the adhesive hardens.
Is Fatrabond 1214 a solvent-free adhesive?
Yes, it is a solvent-free formulation. This contributes to a safer working environment and aligns with greener building practices.
Can Fatrabond 1214 be used on highly porous surfaces?
While suitable for many substrates, porous surfaces will significantly increase adhesive consumption. Prepare the substrate adequately to manage absorption.
Applications and benefits
| Application | Key benefit | Primary trades |
|---|---|---|
| Bonding Fatrafol felt-backed roof membranes | Delivers high-strength adhesion, preventing membrane delamination and blistering for long-term roof integrity. | Roofing contractors, commercial builders |
| Adhering to concrete, fibre strand, and plywood boards | Ensures secure attachment to common roofing substrates, providing a dependable foundation for membrane systems. | Roofing installers, builders |
| Securing insulation boards with lamination | Provides reliable bonding for specialised insulation products, critical for thermal performance in roofing assemblies. | Roofing specialists, insulation contractors |
How to apply Fatrabond 1214 MCPU Adhesive:
- Prepare the substrate: Clean and dry the surface.
- Apply adhesive: Use a roller to apply an even coat.
- Allow tack time: Wait 2-6 minutes until tacky.
- Apply membrane: Roll Fatra felt-backed roof membrane.
- Roll out air pockets: Use a heavy-duty roller.
Product limitations
- Open time: The adhesive has an open time of 15 minutes at 20 °C. Plan membrane placement accordingly to ensure proper wet-out and bond.
- Storage temperature: Do not store above 30 °C. Higher temperatures can reduce shelf life and affect product performance.
- Porous surfaces: Application on highly porous substrates will increase consumption rates. This may impact project cost and coverage.
Safety and handling
Personal protective equipment
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and eye protection. In poorly ventilated areas, use respiratory protection.
Ventilation
Ensure adequate ventilation during application to prevent vapour build-up.
First aid
- Skin contact: Avoid direct skin contact. If contact occurs, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
- Eye contact: If adhesive enters eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
Storage and disposal
Store in a dry place, ensuring the temperature does not exceed 30 °C. Clean tools immediately after use with an appropriate solvent. Dispose of waste material in accordance with local regulations.
Substrate guide
Proper substrate preparation is critical for achieving a reliable bond with Fatrabond 1214 and preventing adhesion failure.
Concrete
Surface prep: Ensure the concrete surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, laitance, oil, grease, and curing compounds. Any loose material must be removed.
Primer: Not required for prepared concrete.
Fibre strand boards
Surface prep: Clean the surface thoroughly, ensuring it is dry and stable. Remove any contaminants or loose particles.
Primer: Not required for prepared fibre strand boards.
Plywood panels
Surface prep: The plywood must be dry, structurally sound, and smooth. Remove any dust, debris, or residues that could compromise adhesion.
Primer: Not required for prepared plywood.
Insulation boards with lamination
Surface prep: Verify compatibility of the lamination with polyurethane adhesive. The surface must be clean, dry, and firm.
Primer: Not required for compatible, prepared insulation boards.
Steel panels
Surface prep: Thoroughly clean and degrease the steel surface. Ensure it is dry and free from rust or mill scale.
Primer: Not required for prepared steel panels.
