Bona Quantum T — 1-Component Silane Timber Floor Adhesive with Titanium Technology
Bona Quantum T is a professional-grade, 1-component silane-based timber flooring adhesive featuring Bona's titanium crosslinking technology for high initial bond strength, rapid hardening, and strong flexibility once cured. Designed for the installation of solid and engineered timber floors over concrete and wood substrates, with acoustic performance and combined moisture barrier capability.
Key Benefits
- 1-component silane adhesive — no mixing, no waste, no pot life pressure
- Titanium crosslinking technology — rapid initial bond strength with permanent flexibility
- Acoustic performance: noise transfer reduced by up to 10 dB (independent testing)
- Sanding possible from 12 hours after installation under normal conditions
- Can act as a combined adhesive + moisture barrier for substrate moisture up to 95% RH (with specified Bona Trowel Plus system)
- Water and solvent free — classified non-hazardous, zero VOCs
- Suitable for solid and engineered timber floor profiles

Application Equipment
Bona Quantum T sausage packs are applied using the Bona Quantum T Applicator Gun — available from Sand-Aid. The applicator gun delivers precise trowel lines directly from the sausage pack, reducing waste and improving speed on large floor areas.
Moisture Barrier Note
Bona states that Quantum T can be used as a combined adhesive and moisture barrier for substrate moisture levels below 95% RH — but this must be completed using the Bona Trowel Plus system. For moisture exceeding this threshold, a dedicated moisture barrier such as Bona R540 Moisture Barrier is required. Contact us if you're unsure which system suits your substrate.
After Installation — Coating Your New Floor
Once Quantum T has cured and the floor has been sanded, the system is ready for priming and coating. For the topcoat, select based on traffic level and spec:
- Bona Traffic HD — high traffic commercial (retail, hospitality, public areas)
- Bona Wave 2K — heavy residential or light commercial
- Bona Traffic GO — fast, easy 1K finish for residential
All Bona coating systems require a primer on bare timber — select your primer based on timber species and appearance goals.

Common Questions
Is Quantum T safe to use indoors?
Yes — classified non-hazardous, zero VOCs, water and solvent free. Follow standard ventilation practices during installation.
How soon can I sand after gluing?
Minimum 12 hours after application under normal conditions (20°C). Cooler or humid conditions extend this time.
Can it replace a moisture barrier?
In many applications, yes — up to 95% RH when applied with the Bona Trowel Plus system. Above this level, use Bona R540 Moisture Barrier.
What applicator do I need?
Quantum T sausage packs require the Bona Quantum T Applicator Gun — available from Sand-Aid.
Does it reduce floor noise?
Independent testing reports noise transfer reduction of up to 10 dB at standard application rate — suitable for multi-storey residential and commercial builds where acoustic compliance matters.
