Felt Adhesive 2.5Ltr

Product Overview
The IKO Felt Adhesive 2.5Ltr is a high-performance, cold-applied bitumen adhesive designed for bonding and sealing roofing felts. This product is widely used in both residential and commercial roofing projects due to its excellent bonding properties and ease of application.

Design and Composition

IKO Felt Adhesive is formulated from bitumen, a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. This composition ensures a strong and durable bond between the roofing felt and the substrate. The adhesive is designed to be cold-applied, which means it does not require heating before application. This feature makes it safer and more convenient to use compared to hot-applied adhesives, which involve the use of open flames or hot bitumen.
Application and Coverage

The adhesive is suitable for bonding roofing felt to a variety of surfaces, including concrete, metal, timber, and asphalt. It can also be used for bonding successive layers of roofing felt. The application process is straightforward: the adhesive is applied using a brush, ensuring an even and thorough coating. Before application, it is essential to ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and loose material to achieve the best results.
The coverage of IKO Felt Adhesive varies depending on the substrate and ambient temperature. On average, it covers between 1.0 to 1.5 square meters per litre. This means that a 2.5-litre container can cover approximately 2.5 to 3.75 square meters. The adhesive becomes tacky in about 15 minutes and fully dries within 24 hours, providing a strong and durable bond.
Durability and Performance

One of the standout features of IKO Felt Adhesive is its durability. The bitumen-based composition ensures that the adhesive remains flexible and resilient, even under extreme weather conditions. This flexibility helps to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of roofing materials, preventing cracks and leaks. The adhesive also provides excellent waterproofing properties, ensuring that your roof remains protected from water ingress.
Safety and Environmental Considerations

IKO Felt Adhesive is designed to be user-friendly and safe. The cold-applied nature of the adhesive eliminates the need for heating, reducing the risk of burns and fire hazards. Additionally, the adhesive is solvent-borne, which means it contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is essential to use the adhesive in well-ventilated areas and follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines to minimize exposure to VOCs.
