Titebond 771-Step Adhesive, Moisture & Sound Control is a versatile adhesive that merges the qualities of a moisture cure adhesive with the functionality of a moisture and sound control system, primarily designed for wood floor installations. It eliminates the need for moisture testing like calcium chloride or in-situ RH, as it has no moisture limitations. Once cured, it becomes water-resistant, unaffected by moisture exposure, and establishes a strong, flexible bond across various substrates.
This product streamlines the process by enabling both gluing down and controlling moisture and sound in one application, significantly saving on labor and time. Additionally, by adjusting the trowel size, Titebond 771-Step can be used solely as a one-part adhesive. Detailed application guidelines can be found in the provided document.
For enhanced moisture protection, it can be combined with Titebond 531 or Titebond 531 PLUS Moisture Control Systems. Its elastomeric properties facilitate movement with the wood, accommodating expansions and contractions throughout the floor’s lifespan. With exceptional initial grab, robust strength development, easy spreading, and superior cleanup compared to urethane products, Titebond 771-Step stands out.
Primarily employed for securing solid wood, bamboo, cork, and engineered hardwood flooring, it also serves as an adhesive for plywood, ceramic tile, marble, cork underlayments, and stone inlays in both residential and commercial applications.
