Abstract
Described herein are adhesives that exhibit good cohesive and tack properties. In certain aspects, the adhesives can be applied to substrates using a low- or medium-pressure delivery system. The adhesives can be readily applied to any substrate such as, for example, a floor, wall, ceiling, countertop, and the like. The adhesives are particularly effective in adhering heavy materials such as, for example ceramic tiles and wall panels to walls.
Claims7
A method for adhering a flooring material to a floor comprising (a) spraying an adhesive consisting of a mixture of (i) an emulsion of water and a copolymer consisting of butyl acrylate and isobutyl acrylate having a glass transition temperature from −20° C. to −30° C., a dynamic viscosity of 350 mPa·s to 800 mPa·s, a solids content of 56% by weight to 58% by weight, and optionally a stabilizer, a defoamer, a filler, a biocide, a fungicide, a preservative, a hydrocarbon, mineral oil, or any combination thereof, wherein the emulsion is from 45% to 85% by weight of the aqueous-based adhesive, and (ii) a propellant to the substrate to produce a coated floor, and (b) applying the flooring material to the coated floor.
