The Roberts 2001 Felt Back Sheet Vinyl Adhesive is a commercial-grade SBR latex adhesive formulated specifically for the installation of felt-backed sheet vinyl flooring. Designed with an optimized open and working time, the adhesive allows installers to accurately position sheet vinyl materials while ensuring a strong, long-lasting bond.
The solvent-free latex formula bonds securely to a wide variety of substrates including concrete, APA-rated plywood, terrazzo, properly prepared vinyl composition tile (VCT), existing felt-backed sheet vinyl (non-cushioned), and primed gypsum-based subfloors.
Roberts 2001 features Microban antimicrobial product protection, which helps inhibit the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria that may lead to product degradation over time. This added protection helps maintain adhesive performance and durability in demanding environments.
The adhesive offers up to 25 minutes of open time and up to 45 minutes of working time, allowing installers sufficient flexibility during placement. Once installed, the adhesive cures in approximately 24 hours. Coverage is up to 190 square feet per gallon depending on trowel type, substrate condition, and installation method.
With a low VOC content of less than 1 g/L and LEED-compliant formulation, Roberts 2001 is an environmentally friendly option for interior flooring installations. The product also offers a two-year shelf life when stored properly and includes a lifetime installation warranty when applied by a Flooring Industry Association Certified Professional.
We recommend the Roberts 2001 as "THE" adhesive for the Radiant Positioning Mats (RPM) (used with the MasterHeat system) over plywood applications.
