Recommended Applications

MAPEI Ultrabond Turf Glue (such as Ultrabond Turf PU 1K and PU 2K) is an elite, commercial-grade line of polyurethane artificial turf adhesives engineered by MAPEI. Built as a 100% solids, solvent-free matrix, this green-pigmented adhesive line provides high tensile and shear thresholds that comfortably exceed strict FIFA standards for sports turf seams.It is widely specified by civil engineers and professional turf installation crews across high-impact sports stadiums, civic playgrounds, and complex hardscape configurations. The primary application for Ultrabond Turf PU 1K. Applied via automated glue box troughs along heavy-duty seam tape, it absorbs extreme multi-directional player shear forces on professional soccer, football, and rugby pitches without joint breakdown. Used to permanently fuse white boundary lines, yard markers, and multicolored team mascots/logos into a field’s main turf layout. Its structural tack holds complex turf shapes perfectly flush. Extensively used to secure artificial grass directly onto non-pinnable surfaces like old asphalt driveways, commercial concrete plazas, and display yards where landscape staples cannot be driven.

Installation & Care Notes

Installing MAPEI Turf Glue (such as Ultrabond Turf PU 1K or Ultrabond Turf PU 2K) utilizes professional-grade polyurethane chemistry to create waterproof, high-tensile structural bonds. When paired with specialized backing tape, this adhesive system exceeds FIFA requirements for seam and shear strength in athletic environments. According to the official MAPEI Product Technical Guidelines, the glue should only be laid when the substrate temperature is between 41°F and 95°F (5°C to 35°C) to ensure an optimal chemical cure. Clean all loose grit, oils, or dust off the underlying aggregate, concrete pad, or base panel system. The substrate must be stable and clear. Unroll your synthetic turf sheets across the yard and let them sit in the direct sun for 1 to 2 hours. This removes internal shipping tensions and prevents the backing from shifting or wrinkling after gluing. Flip back the edges of the adjacent turf sheets. Use a sharp utility knife to slice away 2 to 3 tuft rows from both sides to ensure clean fabric canvas matching along the seam line.

Warranty & Availability

MAPEI Artificial Turf Adhesives (such as the Ultrabond Turf line) are backed by a 1-year limited product warranty when purchased as individual installation supply items. However, when deployed as part of a fully certified, single-source installation system (using both MAPEI turf glue and approved MAPEI Ultrabond Turf Tape), the project becomes eligible for an extended 5-year or 10-year MAPEI system warranty. Because MAPEI formulas are professional-grade chemical compounds, their long-term operational lifespan of 8 to 12 years depends entirely on strict adherence to environmental curing parameters. Full replacement coverage if the liquid formula exhibits manufacturing defects such as premature hardening, component separation, or failure to mix to the nominal structural consistency right out of the container. Guarantees the unapplied adhesive remains fully functional within its specified 12-month shelf life when stored in its original, unopened packaging under standard climate-controlled conditions. Assures that once the polyurethane or specialized resin achieves its full 24- to 48-hour chemical cure, it becomes completely inert, meaning it will not re-emulsify, dissolve, or wash away when exposed to rainfall or standing water.
