PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE

01  Zero Shrinkage After Curing

The adhesive strip maintains its original shape after curing, ensuring consistent bond integrity throughout the lifetime of the floor installation.

02  Excellent Elasticity

220% elongation at break accommodates the natural expansion and contraction of wood caused by seasonal changes in humidity and temperature.

03  One-Component Formula

No mixing required. Ready to use straight from the package — simplifying the installation workflow and reducing risk of incorrect mixing ratios.

04  Underfloor Heating Compatible

Withstands continuous thermal cycling up to +90°C post-cure. Certified for use with radiant underfloor heating systems.

05  Noise Reduction & Moisture Proofing

The elastic rubber layer provides acoustic dampening and forms a moisture-resistant barrier between the floor and substrate.

06  Low VOC · Safe for Installers

Water-free and solvent-free formulation. No isocyanate content. Classified as Skin Sensitization Category 1 — standard PPE (gloves, goggles) is sufficient.
