IKO launch IKOpro Sprayfast, fast and economical bonding without the backache
IKO has introduced a range of spray-applied PU bonding adhesives specifically developed to offer fast-track, effective bonding of both insulation boards and polymeric membranes. The introduction of a new canister application system, enables IKOpro Sprayfast to be applied quickly and accurately. The controlled bead size function eliminates waste ensuring economical coverage rates, whilst the 3-meter long spray hose applicator ensures that operatives work in an upright position to reduce discomfort.
IKO has produced three different formulas to suit a range of applications, from installing insulation boards and VCL’s to single ply polymeric membranes.
Insulation boards
IKOpro Sprayfast IBA moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive can be applied faster and more accurately than standard hand-poured PU adhesives and benefits from rapid cure times.
Fleece-Backed Roofing Membranes
This Sprayfast system can be applied four times faster than standard roller-applied PU adhesives and has a cover rate of up to 180m2 per canister.
IKOpro Sprayfast FMA is suitable for both large-scale fieldwork as well as detailing. Excellent bond and wind uplift resistance, independently tested by the BRE, means that it can be relied upon to securely bond fleece-backed membranes.
IKOpro Sprayfast FMA performs in a wide range of temperatures (-30°C – 150°C) and has exceptional long-term ageing properties. The non-foaming adhesive allows a truly flat lamination and so produces an aesthetically pleasing finish.
PVC Roofing Membranes
This multi-purpose polyurethane two-way stick adhesive enables simple and secure bonding of non-backed PVC roofing membranes to a wide range of substrates. It can be applied twice as fast as standard one-way stick roller applied adhesive, covering one metre square of membrane in as little as 40 seconds, curing in just 30 minutes.
In each case, the canister contains non-flammable gas, which can make the product much easier to store onsite in compliance with ADR regulations.
