LOCK A485 MP™ multi-purpose adhesive is designed for direct glue-down interior carpet installations, for bonding carpet to pad in double-stick systems. This adhesive is optimal for pattern carpet and can also be used with mineral or fibrous-backed resilient sheet goods. LOCK A485 MP™ quickly develops adhesive legging and forms a strong, durable bond with most commercial broadloom carpets. The adhesive remains tacky for an extended period of time, has little odor, and is environmentally friendly. LOCK A485 MP™ contains an antimicrobial system for enhanced resistance to mold and mildew.
KEY FEATURE
- Durable final bond
- Perfect for commercial and residential pattern carpet
- Solvent-free
MOISTURE & ALKALI RESISTANCE
LOCK A485 MP™ is resistant to moderate amounts of moisture vapor and alkaline conditions. Always measure the in situ RH of concrete slabs in accordance with ASTM F2170, and test the pH of the slab. LOCK A485 MP™ may be used on slabs with RH readings up to 85% and a pH between 8.0-9.0.
