Flooring Adhesives

Vinyl, rubber, tile, and plank — acrylic flooring adhesives. Solvent-free, low odor. Call 800-249-0337.

One-part acrylic flooring adhesives. Water-based, ready to use, solvent-free. Permanent bond of rubber or vinyl floor covering to the subfloor: roll goods, vinyl sheet, vinyl tile and plank, rubber or vinyl stair treads. Porous and non-porous faces. Concrete on, above, or below grade when the slab is dry, and suspended APA wood.

What the line needs

  • No VOC odor to speak of. Easy cleanup. No mixing. Partially used pails reseal
  • Shear stability for side-to-side traffic
  • LEED low-emitting credit path on the grades that qualify

Related grades

  • 7-6503 — solvent-free acrylic for vinyl-backed sheet, commercial PVC sheet, vinyl tile and plank, rubber or vinyl stair treads
  • 7-6506 — acrylic PSA for vinyl-backed tile and solid vinyl tile (12 in × 12 in max), including tile-over-tile

We can formulate

Open time and working time for roll goods vs tile; shear for side-to-side traffic; grab on porous vs non-porous backs; PSA vs permanent acrylic when tile-over-tile or repositioning matters. Stay within solvent-free acrylic chemistry on this page — do not invent solvent grades here.
