✅ High-shear strength acrylic adhesive for vinyl & carpet tiles
✅ Water-based — low odour, cleans up with water while wet
✅ Anti-fungal formulation
✅ Long open time of 60–90 minutes for practical working windows
✅ Covers approximately 120m² per 20L container (1.5mm trowel)
When to Use TAL Profix
TAL Profix is a water-based, multi-purpose modified acrylic emulsion adhesive for the installation of vinyl tiles, vinyl sheeting, carpet tiles, needlepunch and stick-down carpets. Formulated with specialised high-strength polymers, it delivers high tensile and shear strength with the dimensional and ageing stability needed for coarse, uneven-backed carpeting.
Suitable for application onto concrete, screeds, underlayment compounds, tiles, wood, vinyl and metal access flooring. Not suitable for carpeting with a rubber or bitumen-based wear underlayment.
Pack Contents & Coverage
Supplied in a 20 litre plastic container.
- 1.5mm serrated trowel (vinyl tiles, sheeting and backed carpeting): ±6.0m² per litre — ±120m² per container
- 3mm serrated trowel (coarse, unbacked carpeting such as needlepunch): ±3.0m² per litre — ±60m² per container
Actual coverage depends on site conditions and workmanship.
Application
Allow the floor covering to acclimatise in the installation area for a minimum of 48 hours. The substrate must be sound, smooth, clean and dry, with a moisture content of 3% or less — where moisture exceeds this, apply TAL VaporStop HB first. Prime very porous surfaces with TAL Floor Primer.
Shake the container well before use and do not dilute. Apply with the correct serrated trowel, allow the adhesive to flash off (±15 minutes) until slightly tacky, then press the floor covering into place and roll with a 64kg three-sectional flooring roller (except cushion flooring). Allow 2 hours before light foot traffic, 12–24 hours before full-service conditions, and 72 hours before any wet cleaning.
Storage & Shelf Life
6 months from date of manufacture when stored in dry internal conditions between 10°C and 25°C, out of direct sunlight. Never store directly on a concrete floor. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use.
Health & Safety
For use by experienced installers. Contains solvents (less than 5%) — work in well-ventilated areas and do not inhale or ingest. Wear gloves and eye protection. Clean tools with warm soapy water before the product dries; dried adhesive requires TAL Cleaning Solvent. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet before use. Keep out of reach of children.
