SUBFLOOR ADHESIVE
Basic Use and Applications
AdvanTech
subfl oor adhesive is a high-performance, moisture-cured, gun-applied polyurethane construction adhesive that
can be used in cold and wet conditions. Formulated to adhere to wet and frozen structural subfl oor panels and joists,

this
moisture curing poly adhesive is the ideal solution for not so ideal weather conditions. It easily dispenses as a foam bead
that quickly condenses to form a high-strength gel adhesive.
AdvanTech subfl oor adhesive is designed to be used to bond AdvanTech
®
ooring, OSB and plywood subfl oors to the
supporting fl oor framing below. It helps prevent movement between the fl oor panels and the joists/trusses which can lead
to fl oor squeaks and pops and a bouncy fl oor. Used with AdvanTech fl ooring, AdvanTech subfl oor adhesive is the FLAT OUT
BEST
for a quiet, stiff fl oor. AdvanTech subfl oor adhesive is classifi ed as a Class 2 aerosol adhesive in accordance with 49
CFR 173.115(a).
Compatible Substrates

panels
• Plywood
• OSB
• Dimensional and treated lumber
• Concrete
Features and Benefi ts
AdvanTech subfl oor adhesive can yield up to 8 times the coverage
when compared to traditional subfl oor adhesive caulks,

and when used on a qualifi ed AdvanTech
Subfl ooring Assembly, it
comes with a Squeak-Free Guarantee

for the subfl oor to joist connection.
AdvanTech subfl oor adhesive maintains adhesion
to dry, wet and frozen lumber while exceeding the industry adhesion performance by 2 – 5 times.

The gun applied
AdvanTech subfl oor adhesive installs quickly, easily and can bridge minor gaps between the fl oor truss and the subfl oor
panel to ensure a tight bond forms between the framing and the subfl oor.
Surface Preparation
Surface should be free from oil, grease and standing water. Adhesive may be applied in temperatures from 20ºF (-6ºC) to
105ºF (41ºC). Use drop cloths as necessary. Product will gun slowly when cold.
Installation Methods
To install AdvanTech subfl oor adhesive place threaded end of can into applicator gun basket and rotate in a clockwise
direction until tight. Do not over-tighten. Shake container vigorously for minimum 30 seconds prior to initial application.
Check the tip of the applicator gun prior to dispensing adhesive and remove any dried adhesive from the tip with
AdvanTech
polyurethane foam cleaner or by safely scraping with a utility knife or other sharp object. Open the control
knob and test bead size on scrap material. Adjust bead size by rotating the control knob located at the rear of the gun
until you get a ½-inch foam bead.
Installation Tip:
rotate the control knob counter-clockwise to release more adhesive,
and rotate the control knob clockwise to release less. (The trigger can also be used to control the rate and amount of foam
adhesive coming out by how much the trigger is depressed.)
