GEKKO WATER BASED ADHESIVE SYSTEMS – Water based – Fast curing – Resistant to plasticiser migration
Gekko are committed to developing innovative products to the flooring industry, and are pleased to announce the launch of an industry leading water based adhesive for site forming applications – COVESTIKK. Covestikk is unique in its class in that it is a fast curing water based adhesive, giving exceptional heat resistance and is fully guaranteed against plasticiser migration. See page 20 for details. Also in our range, is our increasingly popular G67 water based tackifier, which gives all the benefits of our best seller G57, but is water based and gives an increased coverage. For large areas, G67 is the most effective way to tack a surface for laying of carpet tiles. See page 17 for details. Throughout the coming months, we will be developing this unique technology, and are in the process of developing water based spray adhesive for bonding of wall coverings and LVT. Watch this space for further updates.

Gekko G2 Gun
Quick and easy to use…
Developed specifically for the wall cladding industry, the Gekko G2 Gun is a revolution in adhesive application. This unique battery-powered upright applicator can be used to fix interior and exterior plastic panelling, with minimal waste and mess; cutting jobbing time by as much as 60%.
STEP 1
DURABLE 80MM BARREL Holding 2.25kg sachet of adhesive.
Insert adhesive sachet into barrel and cut off the sealing clip.
STEP 2 DISPENSER HEAD Dispenser head available in 180mm, 300mm and 400mm widths, and easily masked to create alternative widths. 14V NI-CAMH BATTERY OR 10V LITHIUM ION BATTERY Full recharge in 60 minutes.
The Gekko G2 Gun makes installation easy. Its innovative dispenser head allows clean and precise adhesive application across the width of the cladding panel. Using the correct settings, no adhesive spills over and none is left uncovered. Amongst many other applications, this system is ideal for installation of hygienic wall cladding in sanitary and food preparation areas, laboratories and clean rooms. Compared to existing adhesive systems, there is no messy clean-up and the transfer of adhesive to other surfaces is easily avoided. Dispenser nozzles are disposable and come new with each box of adhesive. The nozzles are optimised to a width of 180mm to fit the dispensing head, but can easily be masked
if a narrower width spread of adhesive is required. Sachets of single-part adhesive mean no mixing and less wastage, without compromising strength. The sachets are quick and easy to load, without direct contact with the glue; leaving workspaces and operators clean. As they are used, the sachets are compressed, so that empty sachets form small discs which are easily disposed of. Better still, we have optimised the adhesive sachet size, so that one sachet will cover a standard 3m x 1.5m PVC panel. This system ensures best yields and minimal waste, and makes it easy to calculate the right amount of adhesive for the job.
Screw the dispensing head onto the barrel.
