Description  

X’traseal MS-608 is a one-part MS polymer timber-flooring adhesive for bonding compatible parquetry and wood flooring to prepared subfloors. It cures to a resilient, permanently flexible bond that helps accommodate normal timber movement and provides useful sound-dampening properties.

Choose MS-608 when you need a flooring-specific adhesive rather than a high-grab panel adhesive such as MS-609. It is supplied for parquetry and other compatible timber flooring assemblies, with trowel selection and consumption guided by flooring type and substrate.

Flooring applications

  • Finger-block parquetry: adhesive installation with the fine notched-trowel configuration appropriate to small blocks.
  • Solid timber strips: bonding suitable planks with a trowel and coverage matched to board thickness.
  • Engineered timber floors: bedding compatible boards onto suitable prepared subfloors.
  • Timber flooring repairs: re-bonding suitable accessible components where the complete flooring system permits.

Preparation and laying

Remove dust, oil, grease, detergents and loose material. Check subfloor moisture and flooring requirements before application; although the product has moisture resistance and some damp-substrate tolerance, it is not a substitute for a specified moisture-vapour barrier. Apply only enough adhesive to work before a skin forms—around 30 minutes under normal conditions—and slide boards into the adhesive for good transfer.

MS-608 is not for PE, PP, PTFE, plasticiser-containing or bituminous substrates, continuous immersion, structural glazing or unsupported heavy-traffic joints. For another moisture-curing parquetry adhesive with separately specified moisture limits, compare Parquetry PS1300.

Common Questions  

What flooring can MS-608 bond?
It is designed for parquet, solid timber and engineered timber flooring.

How long is the working time?
About 20 to 30 minutes under standard conditions.

Can it be used underwater?
No. Underwater applications are excluded.

Does it provide acoustic benefits?
Yes. The cured elastic adhesive helps dampen footfall sound in timber floor assemblies.

Uses & Benefits  
Hybrid MS polymer adhesive for parquet, solid timber and engineered timber flooring. Cures to a flexible bond that accommodates timber movement and helps dampen footfall sound. Elongation at break is about 800% to ASTM D412. Working time is about 20 to 30 minutes before skinning. Service temperature range is -40°C to +100°C after cure.
How To Apply  
Use on clean substrates free from dirt, oil, grease, detergents and loose material. Trowel only as much adhesive as can be covered within about 20 to 30 minutes. Use the trowel notch specified for the flooring format and required coverage. Slide timber into the wet adhesive and tap firmly into place to achieve full transfer. Remove uncured excess with a suitable cleaning solvent. Cured adhesive must be removed mechanically.
Limitations and Safety Info  
Do not use on PE, PP, PTFE, bituminous substrates or plastics containing softeners. Do not use for structural glazing or underwater applications. Do not use in totally confined spaces. Do not use for heavy trafficable joints, aggressive chemical exposure or direct food contact. Alkyd paint systems may dry more slowly over the cured adhesive. White may yellow under prolonged strong UV.
Suitable Substrates  
  • Compatible prepared timber-flooring subfloors.
  • Parquet and finger-block parquet.
  • Solid timber flooring.
  • Engineered timber flooring.
  • Plywood used within the documented flooring system.

X’traseal MS-608 MS Polymer Adhesive - Use Cases

Here are some common examples on where X’traseal MS-608 MS Polymer Adhesive used by our customers.

Flooring

Accommodate Timber Floor Movement

Bond larger format timber and engineered wood planks that experience natural expansion and contraction.

The high elongation and permanent flexibility of the MS polymer absorbs timber movement, preventing cracking and bond failure over time.

  • 800% elongation at break
  • 0.90 mPa Lap Shear Strength
  • Service -40°C to 100°C
  • ASTM D412, D2240, C961

Flooring

Install Flooring Damp Substrates

Bond timber flooring directly onto concrete subfloors with residual moisture, avoiding project delays.

Moisture-resistant properties allow direct application onto damp surfaces, preventing bond failure from subfloor humidity.

  • can be applied on damp surfaces
  • waterproofing and moisture resistant
  • 10 mm cure in 7 days
  • long open time 20-30 minutes

Flooring

Bonding Parquet and Engineered Wood Flooring

Install finger block parquet, solid wood, engineered wood, and plywood flooring onto concrete, timber, and other common subfloors in both residential and commercial projects.

Achieve a high-strength, permanently flexible bond that accommodates natural timber movement and dampens sound, preventing hollow spots and ensuring long-term floor integrity and comfort underfoot.

  • Lap shear strength (Wood to Wood) 0.90 mPa
  • Elongation at Break 800% approx.
  • Hardness (Shore A) 40
  • Good sound dampening quality

Flooring

Outdoor Timber Flooring

Install timber flooring on balconies, decking, or external areas exposed to weather and temperature shifts.

Its UV and weather resistance, combined with extreme temperature stability, ensures long-term performance outdoors.

  • excellent UV and weather resistance
  • service temperature -40°C to 100°C
  • waterproofing and moisture resistant
  • internal and external use
