STAUF notched trowels
General info on applying adhesives with notched trowels
Various types of notching can be used when applying adhesive to substrates. They are distinguished by:
- the amount of adhesive applied
- the depth and spacing between the notches
Both factors are relevant for applying the material safely, securely and permanently. Our adhesive recommendations are only applicable when using our own specially developed trowel notches. You can find the description and application uses of the various notched trowels in the following table.
Description
Three dimensions are used to describe the shape of a trowel notch:
- notch depth (a)
- notch width (b)
- width of the tooth (c)
