Carpet Adhesive

Should be pressure sensitive adhesive specially engineered to install PVC backed and cushion backed modular carpet tiles in a grid or total glue down installation. This premium adhesive is to facilitate release and re-bonding of carpet tiles while permanently retaining its tack, allowing individual tiles to be lifted out easily and replaced without substantial loss of adhesive properties. The adhesive may also be used as a releasable pad-to-floor adhesive for double-glue down installations and is compatible with rubber and vinyl pad.

Would prefer spectrum antimicrobial additives to protect the adhesive from bacterial and fungal growth.

It should be nonflammable and both alkali and water-resistant. Resistant to plasticizer migration from carpet tile. This adhesive should have low odor and “zero” calculated VOC’s (based on no solvents used), which make it ideal for use in facilities, buildings or anywhere odor is a concern.
