Ball website, to download the APP or view the on-line version RAG 2019 Welcome Welcome to the F. Ball Recommended Adhesives Guide 2019 This 2019 edition of the RAG has set a new record for the number of flooring adhesive recommendations available. For the first time, the RAG has exceeded 6,000 individually tried and tested adhesive recommendations for floorcoverings from over 200 international manufacturers. This huge number of recommendations reflects the ongoing changes in the flooring industry, both in terms of the number and variety of floorcoverings being created and the evolution of adhesive technology. New adhesives are constantly being developed to deliver enhanced performance, speed up the installation process or make them easier to apply. In the last twelve months we have reformulated two hugely popular products: Styccobond F41 Carpet Tile Tackifier and Stycco Flex, a Rapid Curing Flexible Adhesive. Styccobond F41 now has increased tack and a faster drying time. It is also easier to apply and offers greater coverage. New Stycco Flex has enhanced dimensional stability and excellent plasticiser resistance, making it 100% compatible with PVC accessories and it is now approved for use with PVC skirting, coving and capping, increasing its number of recommendations in this year’s RAG. Adhesive developments such as these are made possible because of advances in adhesive technology and the availability of new raw materials, allied to the formidable knowledge and formulation expertise of the F. Ball development department. But undoubtedly, the main driver behind the innovation of many new adhesives and, consequently, the rapid growth in the number of adhesive recommendations now featured in the RAG is the introduction of new floorcoverings that require adhesives with specialist performance characteristics. With so many new floorcoverings (and materials) coming onto the market and the increased number of adhesives being created in response, selecting the correct or ‘best’ adhesive for a particular job is more complex than ever. Not only is it essential to use a compatible adhesive for the floorcovering being installed, correct adhesive selection will make the installation both easier and quicker. By using the RAG, the complexity of adhesive selection simply disappears. With every adhesive recommendation fully tested for the floorcovering in question and actively endorsed by each, individual floorcovering manufacturer, the RAG is your guarantee that the adhesive you select will work perfectly. An interactive version of the RAG is available at www.f-ball.co.uk, which is updated throughout the year to ensure the latest information is always accessible. The F. Ball RAG App can also be downloaded to your smartphone, for adhesive recommendations when you’re on the move. For further information on any F. Ball products, please visit our website or contact the Technical Service team on 01538 361633 (7.30am – 5pm Monday to Friday).
