Shaw 1036

Shaw 1036 is a is a fast-tacking, solvent-free, ultra premium adhesive for installing both direct glue down and double glue down commercial carpets and Shaw’s DuraTech Plus Cushion. This adhesive has been specially designed to provide quick grab with fast wet suction and holding power for bonding the most difficult to install carpet backing such as wide-pick Action Bac and heavily embossed Unitaries. Shaw 1036 can be used for smoother Action Bac, jute backings, the Enhancer (Urethane) backings, and Shaw DuraTech Plus carpet cushion. Extended residual tack and rebond qualities allow the installer to simply roll out bubbles should they occur. Use the tacky method of installation for all applications allowing adequate adhesive leg development before laying carpet or cushion into wet adhesive. This adhesive is recommended for use over American Plywood Association (APA) plywood or equal plywood, and all grades of fully cured concrete in the absence of hydrostatic pressure and high alkali. It is recommended that the installer perform tests for alkali (pH of floor should be 5-9). A moisture test should be performed using the Anhydrous Calcium Chloride method. Moisture emissions should not exceed 5 lbs. per 1,000 square feet per 24 hours.
