What is AdvanTech
™
Subfloor Adhesive?
AdvanTech
™
subfloor adhesive is a high-performance, moisture-cured, gun-applied polyurethane construction adhesive
that can be used in cold and wet weather conditions. It easily dispenses as a foam bead that quickly condenses to form
a high-strength gel adhesive. AdvanTech subfloor adhesive bonds to AdvanTech
®
panels, plywood, OSB, dimensional
and treated lumber, concrete, metal, gypsum wallboard, fiberglass, plastic and masonry substrates. It bonds wood-to-
wood assemblies and glued floor systems on dry, frozen or wet surfaces. Used in an AdvanTech
™
Subflooring Assembly,
AdvanTech subfloor adhesive is the FLAT OUT BEST
™
for a quiet, stiff floor and is backed by a No Squeak Guarantee at
the AdvanTech subfloor to joist or truss connection. (Limitations and restrictions apply, visit SqueakFreeGuarantee.com
for details).
AdvanTech subfloor adhesive is designed to be used to bond AdvanTech
®
flooring, OSB and plywood subfloors to the
supporting floor framing below. It helps prevent movement between the floor panels and the joists/trusses which can lead
to floor squeaks and pops and a bouncy floor.
It conforms to industry standards for the performance of expandable foam subfloor adhesives. See Product Data Sheet
for testing results and performance properties.

Coverage Rates
One 24 oz. can of AdvanTech subfloor adhesive yields approximately 400 linear feet of gel adhesive at a ½" diameter
bead. When compared to a 28 oz. caulk cartridge of typical subfloor adhesive, product yield per container is approx. 8
times that of the conventional adhesive applied at a 3/8" bead, per manufacturer’s instructions.
