KE 40 Caiman Premium Pro - Moisture Tolerant Adhesive

Moisture-tolerant dispersion adhesive without RH limitation on humid substrates

Water-based, semi-wet lay, moisture-tolerant adhesive designed for installing alkali and moisture-tolerant floor coverings over porous substrates. This advanced formulation delivers a permanent, firm-set bond upon curing, with no moisture testing required and no limiting RH% values, ensuring reliability across various environments.

 

With a universal field of application, it accommodates a wide range of floor coverings, making it a versatile choice for professional installations. PVC plasticizer tolerance ensures lasting integrity, while its firm-set properties support rolling load applications and reduce material displacement-gap development.

 

Engineered for resistance to environmental factors, this premium adhesive maintains its bond during temperature fluctuations. It provides excellent working properties, featuring an easy-to-spread consistency and low odor during application, enhancing installer comfort.
