Mohawk M700 is an acrylic adhesive with extremely aggressive
tack, formulated to provide high shear and peel strength for
installing commercial Mohawk luxury vinyl tile (LVT) &
commercial Mohawk luxury vinyl plank (LVP). M700 forms a
secure plasticizer and moisture-resistant bond. This high solids
adhesive is also non-staining and contains MicroSept
TM
antimicrobial system for enhanced resistance to mold and
mildew. May be installed on concrete that is above, on and
below grade, APA approved plywood, and underlayment-
grade hardboard.
Site Preparations:
The floor must be sound, smooth, dry and clean. Mechanically
remove any dirt, wax, loose paint, existing adhesives and all
foreign matter that would interfere with a good bond. Do not
install LVP directly over cutback residue. If you encounter
cutback residue apply a coat of Mohawk Surface Seal prior to
installation of flooring. If installation is over gypcrete it is
advisable to apply a coat of Mohawk Primecoat and allow to
dry prior to installation of flooring. Seal porous or dusty
concrete surfaces with Mohawk Primecoat. Do not use on
chemically cleaned substrates or over treated plywood
substrates. The installation site must be acclimated with HVAC
in operation. The floor and room temperature, as well as
flooring materials and adhesive, must be maintained
at 65°–85° F, and the humidity below 65% for 48 hours prior to,
during, and after the testing and installation. Use M700 for in-
stallations over concrete substrates with moisture resistance of
5 lbs. per 1000 square feet in 24 hrs. when tested in accordance
with the latest version of ASTM F 1869 and 85% RH when tested
with the latest version of ASTM F 2170, (If RH exceeds 85% use
Mohawk HydroSeal 95 to lower readings), and pH of 7.0–9.0. All
substrate preparation and testing procedures must conform
to appropriate ASTM F710.
Installation:
Follow the installation instructions and guidelines regarding
adhesive application rate and method. Luxury Vinyl Plank and
Luxury Vinyl Tile Trowel Size:
• 1/16” x 1/32” x 1/32” U-Notch (220–260 square feet per gallon)
Porous substrates:
• When installing LVT and LVP over a porous substrate, the
adhesive should be allowed to dry to the touch sufficient to
prevent slippage. Loss of adhesion can result if the flooring is
not installed within the working time of the adhesive. Roll the
installation in both directions with a 75-100lb. 3-section roller
immediately after the installation is complete.
Non-porous substrates:
• Install LVT and LVP into adhesive as it becomes dry to the
touch with little or no transfer to finger when touched. This will
normally require 30–60 minutes of drying time at suggested in-
stallation temperature and humidity. Do not install flooring into
wet adhesive on non-porous substrates. Roll the installation in
both directions with a 75-100lb. 3-section roller immediately af-
ter flooring is placed, ensuring complete contact with adhesive.
Traffic:
Follow Mohawk’s installation guidelines; restrict foot traffic for 24
hours after installation. No heavy traffic, rolling loads, or furniture
placement for 72 hours after installation. Additional time may be
necessary if the installation is over a non-porous substrate. Allow
at least five days following the installation before conducting wet
cleaning procedures or initial maintenance.
Shelf Life:
2 year from manufacturing date in an unopened container
Clean Up:
Use a clean wet cloth to clean up adhesive while still wet; dried
adhesive may require the use of an appropriate solvent. This
product is considered non-hazardous. VOC compliant with CA
SCAQMD Rule 1168. In case of eye contact, flush with water for
10-15 minutes. If irritation persists contact a physician. Prolonged
skin contact may casue slight irritation, wash with soap and
water. If swalliowed, consult a physician. Avoid excessive heat or
cold, protect from freezing. Store indoors at a temperature of 60-
100˚F. Safety glasses and gloves are recommended. DOT Hazard
Class: Unregulated.
