Key Features & Benefits
- Outdoor-Rated Formula — Specifically designed to maintain a strong, durable bond when exposed to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and the conditions commonly encountered in outdoor and semi-outdoor environments such as covered walkways, ramps, steps, patios, and entranceways.
- Strong, Permanent Adhesion — Creates a powerful, lasting bond between rubber matting and subfloor surfaces including concrete, screed, wood, metal, and other hard flooring substrates, ensuring the matting stays firmly in place under heavy foot traffic and loaded wheeled equipment.
- Versatile Compatibility — Suitable for use with a wide range of rubber products including plain rubber sheets, ribbed rubber matting, EPDM rubber rolls, nitrile rubber, and general-purpose rubber matting.

How to Apply
- Ensure both the subfloor and the underside of the rubber matting are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material
- Apply a uniform, even coat of adhesive to both the subfloor surface and the underside of the rubber matting using a notched trowel or stiff brush
- Allow both coated surfaces to become touch-dry and tacky — typically 10–20 minutes depending on temperature and humidity
- Carefully align the rubber matting in the correct position before bonding, as repositioning after contact is not possible
- Press the matting firmly onto the subfloor, working from the centre outward to eliminate air pockets and ensure full contact
- Apply firm pressure using a roller or by walking across the surface to achieve a full, consistent bond
- Allow adequate cure time before subjecting the installation to foot traffic — refer to product data sheet for full curing guidance
- Clean tools immediately after use with an appropriate solvent before the adhesive cures
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this adhesive be used outdoors?
Yes — this adhesive is specifically formulated for outdoor use and is designed to maintain a strong, durable bond when exposed to moisture, rain, and temperature changes. It is ideal for securing rubber matting on outdoor steps, ramps, covered walkways, patios, and entranceways.
What surfaces can I bond rubber matting to with this adhesive?
This adhesive is suitable for bonding rubber matting to concrete, screed, timber, plywood, metal, and most other hard, solid subfloor surfaces. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contamination before application for best results.
How much adhesive do I need?
Coverage varies depending on substrate porosity and application thickness. Porous surfaces such as concrete may require more adhesive than smooth surfaces. The 5Kg tub suits smaller projects, while the 10Kg tub is recommended for larger areas. Contact our team for specific coverage guidance if needed.
Can I reposition the rubber matting after applying the adhesive?
No — this is a contact adhesive. Once both coated surfaces are brought together, the bond forms immediately and repositioning is not possible. Always ensure the matting is correctly aligned before making contact with the floor.
Is this adhesive suitable for all rubber matting types?
This adhesive is compatible with a wide range of rubber matting products including plain rubber, ribbed rubber, EPDM, and nitrile rubber sheets and rolls. If you are unsure whether it is suitable for a specific rubber type, please contact our team before ordering.
