Artificial turf has a dense, non-porous backing, lies out in rain and sun and takes constant foot traffic. For it LACRYSIL makes Multi-Green acrylic adhesive, a ready-to-use one-part adhesive for artificial grass, grass-type carpet and other synthetic coverings on woven and non-woven backings. A general-purpose construction adhesive often fails to hold such a backing or loses its elasticity within a season.

What it bonds to

Mineral substrates: concrete, sand-cement screed, brick and stone. Timber: board floors, plywood, hardboard, OSB and chipboard, plus other absorbent surfaces. Typical uses are garden lawns, sports grounds and playgrounds, terraces and decorative indoor areas. The adhesive is thixotropic and does not run, so it holds coverings on slopes, banks and vertical green features. The bond stays elastic and moves with the covering as temperatures change.

How to use it

Spread the adhesive as a continuous layer about 1 mm thick; consumption is 0.7–0.8 kg/m². Work at +10 to +35 °C. It dries fully in 24–48 hours and then copes with -40…+80 °C. The adhesive is green, so it does not show at the seams. Fresh smears wash off with water. Pack sizes are 1.5, 3, 6 and 15 kg, shelf life 18 months.

Questions and answers

How much adhesive does 10 m² of turf need?

At 0.7–0.8 kg/m² it takes 7–8 kg, for example a 6 kg and a 3 kg tub, or a single 15 kg tub with some left for the next area.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes, it is made for lawns, terraces and playgrounds outside. Apply it at +10 °C or warmer.

Does it hold on a slope?

Yes, the thixotropic adhesive does not slide, so a roll does not need weighting down while the next one is laid.
