Resulting Properties
The table above provides a typical starting formation for a general purpose pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive. It is typically used for installing foamed carpet tile to flooring of various types. It will not penetrate the foam and will give effective adhesion. This adhesive will not develop adhesion build-up on aging, a condition that causes the foam to tear when it is removed from the floor.
