A STRONG BOND
NORDOT® Adhesive are the "Gold Standard" in turf, recreational and water-durable surfaces adhesives and play a key role in ensuring a top quality playing surface.
A synthetic turf installation using the best turf, pad and base is of little value if the adhesive holding them down fails. The adhesive is usually the lowest cost component of an installation, yet is extremely important to its success and longevity. So, we can’t understand why low quality adhesives are used.
NORDOT® is the most trusted and respected adhesive name in the sports turf, recreational and aquatic surfaces industries. It is the adhesive of choice for knowledgeable veteran and professional installers for synthetic turf, recreational, aquatic, and military surface projects. That’s because NORDOT® Adhesives are formulated with high priced, high quality raw materials and are thoroughly tested. They are solvent-based, one-part, easy to use, have high “green strength” (grab), and long-term durability. NORDOT® Adhesives can be used in any temperature the installer can work, from intense desert heat to sub- freezing, and do not crystallise, foam, or stop curing in dry or damp conditions. They can withstand sudden unexpected rain during installation and have superior fresh- and salt-water resistance after cure. They can also be shipped and stored in cold temperatures. If you use solvent- free and/or hot melt adhesives, you’re giving up most or all of these benefits. If an adhesive is chosen based on low price rather than quality, you can often find your short-term savings disappear when your project is delayed due to weather; and/or the adhesive fails after prolonged exposure to weathering. NORDOT® one-part Adhesives are focused on ease-of-use and long term durability after cure. That’s why NORDOT® Adhesives are the “Gold Standard” by which all other turf, recreational and water- durable surfaces adhesives are measured.
Some of the properties that set NORDOT® Adhesives apart from all the others are: 1) Solvent-based. Adhesives that are solvent- based are easy to apply and are not hazmat after the solvent evaporates. They are far superior to other liquid solvent-free and hot melt adhesives. 2) High “green strength”. This is a unique and extremely important property (grab/tack as opposed to oily/slippery) that gives the adhesive the ability to hold two surfaces together when first contacted and before (still ‘green’) the adhesive develops its ultimate bonding properties when fully cured. It is vital for successful outdoor installations because it helps overcome the tendency of surfaces like synthetic turf to separate, curl, bubble, lift, creep, slip and wrinkle during installation. 3) Can be applied by glue box, trowel, squeegee, roller, or sprayed. 4) Use year-round in any temperature the installer can work. This means more installations and more profits. 5) Extraordinary water resistance. NORDOT® Adhesives are widely used in military applications and the aqua- bonding industry because of their outstanding water resistance in fresh- and salt-water, above and submerged. 6) Proven long-term durability. Many installations that use cheap, inferior quality adhesives are plagued by a variety of adhesive failures later on after ageing and weathering. This creates lost profits. With all of these unique properties, plus a 50-year history of successful, durable installations worldwide, NORDOT® Adhesives are the perfect choice for the perfect pitch.
