Technical Bulletin: SetaGrip Performance Update

“Instant Wet-Set Strength without the Wet-Set Mess”

Bulletin: TB-2026-SetaGrip-Performance-Update (Combined)
Date: January 8, 2026

Overview

OneFlor USA is pleased to announce optimized performance standards for our patented SetaGrip micro-suction technology. Current production is engineered to deliver an aggressive, high-tack bond profile the moment the plank is placed, ensuring immediate lateral stability and security for high- raffic commercial environments.

The SetaGrip Advantage
By mimicking the microscopic setae of a gecko’s foot, SetaGrip creates a powerful vacuum bond to flat, properly prepared surfaces. Our latest optimizations provide a “positive grab” that rivals traditional wet-set adhesives while maintaining the speed, health benefits, and replaceability of an adhesive-free system.

Approved Installation System (Substrates & Preparation)

Approved Patch & SLU

Ardex Feather Finish
Schonox SL
Substrates must be properly cured, flat, clean, and completely free of dust or debris prior to installation.

Concrete Substrates

Allowed with moisture-based protocol below. Moisture and preparation requirements are based on in-situ RH testing and jobsite best practices.

Concrete Moisture Protocol (RH)

  • Bare concrete ≤ 80% RH: Approved provided the surface is free of dust, flat, and clean.
  • Concrete > 80% RH: Apply one (1) coat of Wakol PU280, then sand and ensure the surface is flat; install SetaGrip directly over.
  • High moisture / moisture barrier required: Apply two (2) coats of Wakol
    PU280 per manufacturer instructions to create a 100% RH moisture barrier prior to installing SetaGrip.

Always follow Wakol PU280 instructions for application, cure, sanding, and recoat windows.

Performance Data Summary (Internal Testing)

Internal peel strength testing (Nov 2025) demonstrates the significant bond improvement in current production SetaGrip technology on approved substrates.

Dwell Time Prior Production (N/mm) Current Production (N/mm) Performance Increase
24 Hours 0.535 N/mm 2.378 N/mm 440%
72 Hours 0.647 N/mm 2.667 N/mm 410%
5 Days 0.709 N/mm 2.598 N/mm 360%

* Testing conducted on approved non-porous and sealed substrates. Individual jobsite results may vary based on preparation.

Key Benefits for Facilities

  • Zero Downtime: Immediate foot traffic and rolling loads allowed upon completion.
  • Health & Safety: Zero VOCs and no adhesive odors; ideal for occupied healthcare and education spaces.
  • Operational Flexibility: Individual plank/tile can be replaced easily without damaging the subfloor or requiring heavy machinery.
