EZ Strip D4 Carpet & Adhesive Remover

APAC CONTINUES TO DIVERSIFY AND INNOVATE

EZ D4For areas that cannot be easily accessed with large mechanical floor covering strippers, All Purpose Adhesive Company has developed EZ Strip D4 Carpet and Adhesive Remover. EZ Strip D4 dilutable adhesive remover is a low odor, floor covering and adhesive remover. EZ Strip D4 comes in concentrated form that can be diluted with tap water. This product contains no chlorinated solvents of any kind. EZ Strip D4 will soften carpet adhesives allowing for much faster removal of the old floor covering. After carpeting is removed recoat the floor with EZ Strip D4 and scrape up the residual adhesive. Afterwards simply mop and rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow the concrete slab to dry, and you are ready to proceed with your reinstall. EZ Strip D4 will also soften SBR based sheet goods adhesives and VCT adhesives, as well as pressure sensitive acrylic adhesives making them much easier to scrape from the substrate.

Although over the past couple of years APAC have added over 20 new products to their line, they continue to stay totally focused on adhesives and seam tapes. APAC has the most diversified line in the market with more problem solving products available to installers. Despite the growth APAC’s customers can always count on reaching helpful associates that know adhesives. They get answers when they call APAC for technical support.

EZ-1071 ECOlogical Premium Commercial Sprayable Flooring Adhesive

NEW APAC EZ1071 SPRAYABLE FLOORING ADHESIVE

APAC introduces ECOlogical EZ-1071 Premium Commercial Sprayable Flooring Adhesive. EZ-1071 is especially suited for installations of commercial carpeting, and it is an excellent choice for double glue installations, as well as standard direct glue down applications. EZ-1071 can be used for permanent pad to floor installations; however for releasablEZ-1071e pad to floor applications, use APAC 671 Spray Grade Acrylic Pressure Sensitive Adhesive. EZ-1071 forms a tough rubbery bond that resists oxidation, and remains flexible to ensure aging characteristics. This product has aggressive rebond that permits the use of the “tacky” method of installations. EZ-1071 has superior water resistance, and also contains ECOPROTEK®, our exclusive antimicrobial package that protects the film from microbial attack in both the wet and dry state.

TacAbate Abatement Coating

APAC’S NEW SURFACE TACK ABATEMENT COATING

APAC adds surface coatings to their product line. New TacAbate is a solvent free, polymer-based surface coating designed to abate tackiness of floors that have adhesive residue left on them after old floor coverings have been removed, and old adhesives have been scraped away. TacAbate is compatible with many different adhesives, including acrylic and SBR base products. While everyone knows that the very TacAbatebest floor covering installations require floors to be clean and free from any sort of residue, often jobsite restrictions, time and financial concerns dictate otherwise. TacAbate is an excellent choice for abating excess tack over floors with pressure sensitive adhesives on them. It is especially useful for re-installs of carpet tiles over floors that have had old carpet tiles removed.
