The Novalis NV-GLU is a specially formulated acrylic
adhesive used for the permanent installation of Novalis
glue down vinyl oor coverings. The NV-GLU is water-
based, easy to apply and incredibly strong. The NV-GLU
is also resistant to high levels of moisture and alkalinity,
whether topical or from the substrate.
The NV-GLU is easy to clean up, wet or dry, and will not
mar or etch the surface of oor covering.

For information on the correct trowel to use, see the ooring installation instructions.
Using an unspecied trowel may affect the adhesive coverage and adhesion to the
ooring or substrate.
Product Limitations
All published times and coverage rates are subject to substrate
conditions, such as porosity and atness, and ambient conditions,
such as ambient air temperature, relative humidity and substrate
temperature. Actual times and coverage rates may vary. For indoor
use only - do not install in outdoor conditions. Do not install if ambient
temperatures and humidity levels are outside of prescribed range
or if conditions have reached dew point. Do not install adhesive
over substrates which contain known or obvious contaminants,
excessive moisture or hydrostatic pressure. Adhesives cannot
resist extreme dimensional instability of ooring materials, which
may cause gapping, cupping, buckling and/or edge lifting. Do not
install over existing materials without consulting the substrate
preparation guidelines.
