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.
Claims46
An adhesive composition comprising a mixture of:
- (a) a first polymer comprising a glass transition temperature greater than 15° C.;
- (b) a second polymer comprising a glass transition temperature less than 0° C.;
- and
- (c) a plasticizer.
An adhesive composition comprising a mixture of:
- (a) a third polymer comprising a glass transition temperature −30° C. to −40° C.;
- and
- (b) a fourth polymer comprising a glass transition temperature less than −40° C.
A method for making an adhesive, comprising
- a. heating a plasticizer for a sufficient time and temperature to decrease the viscosity;
- b. admixing the plasticizer with a first polymer comprising a glass transition temperature greater than 15° C. to produce a first admixture;
- and
- c. admixing a second polymer comprising a glass transition temperature less than 0° C. to produce the adhesive.
A method for adhering homogeneous linoleum to a substrate comprising (a) applying an adhesive comprising an acrylic polymer having a glass transition temperature less than −20° C. to the substrate, and (b) applying the homogeneous linoleum to coated substrate.
