Fatrabond 1214 is a moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive for sticking felt-backed Fatrafol membranes to concrete, plywood, fibre cement, insulation board, and steel. Applied to one side only with a roller, then the membrane goes on while it is still tacky.
It hardens fast once the membrane is laid and walked in, so plan the roll-out: mix nothing, just roller and go. 20L drum covers large roof areas per the coverage rate on the label.
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.
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.
