Flooring adhesives

Polymers and additives for flooring adhesives

Floor coverings come in a variety of materials and cover many different sub-straights. In today’s market you can find luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring designed that mimic the appearance of porcelain tile and hard wood floors as well as carpet and other floor coverings to meet the latest trends and durability requirements. These materials need to adhere to a substrate with an adhesive that will last the lifetime of the flooring surface, stand up to various performance requirements, and provide quick and easy installation.

Our innovative polymers and additives help users design solutions that adhere to many various floor coverings, both traditional and low energy material. BASF’s extensive range of products allow formulators to overcome challenges found on the job site, from speed of installation and ease of use, to moisture issues and clean-up.
