Description Product Overview RLA Polymers RLA Universal Pressure Sensitive Adhesive is a high-performance, solvent-free adhesive formulated to create a tacky, pressure-sensitive bond. It is specifically designed for installations where floor coverings such as carpet tiles and vinyl tiles may need to be repositioned or removed without damaging the substrate. The adhesive dries to a clear, permanent tack film that allows floor coverings to be lifted and replaced while maintaining bond integrity. It is suitable for use on concrete substrates with elevated moisture levels and is widely used in commercial environments where flexibility and ease of maintenance are required. RLA Polymers RLA Universal Pressure Sensitive Adhesive is also suitable for use in double-bond carpet systems with underlays. Key Features Pressure-sensitive adhesive for releasable installations Solvent-free formulation with low VOC emissions Dries to a clear, tacky film Allows repositioning and replacement of floor coverings Moisture tolerant up to approximately 95% RH Low odour and installer-friendly Anti-microbial formulation Green Star compliant and Australian made Applications Installation of carpet tiles (PVC, fibre-backed, cushion back) Bonding vinyl composition tiles (VCT) Double bond carpet installations with underlay systems Commercial flooring where tiles require periodic replacement Office, retail, and high-traffic environments Notes Apply using roller or notched trowel depending on application Allow adhesive to dry and become clear before laying floor coverings Typical tack time approx. 30–60 minutes depending on conditions For stronger bond, install flooring slightly before full dry state Ensure substrate is clean, dry, smooth, and sound Suitable for concrete up to approx. 95% RH Minimum application temperature approx. 10°C Roll installation after placement for full contact Technical Information Technical Specifications: Type Pressure-sensitive adhesive Bond Type Permanent tack (releasable) Appearance Cream liquid, dries clear Application Method Roller or notched trowel (V1 / V2) Coverage 8–10 m²/L (roller), 3–5 m²/L (trowel) Tack Time Approx. 30 – 60 minutes Subfloor Moisture Limit Up to approx. 95% RH Substrate pH Limit Up to pH 12 Application Temperature Minimum 10°C Use Internal Packaging 15L pails Shelf Life Approx. 12 months (sealed) This adhesive is designed for professional flooring applications where flexibility, ease of maintenance, and reliable tack are required.
