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
