APAC adds a new line of adhesives
Vapor Master VM-568

VM-568 is our solvent free, low odor, LEEDS, and CHPS compliant luxury vinyl tile, vinyl plank, and commercial vinyl sheetgoods adhesive. This product will achieve an exceptional bond over a broad range of substrates, with virtually all manufacturers of the afore mentioned floor coverings. Products manufactured by companies like Armstrong®, Tarkett®, Mannington®, MetroFlor®, Toli®, Earthwerks®, Congoleum®, Domco®, Nafco® and many others can be installed with VM568 in the most demanding of applications.

VM568 is a very hard setting acrylic based wet set vinyl flooring adhesive. This product is an excellent choice for installations that will see heavy roller traffic. Moreover VM568 is a Vapor Master product, and in this case that means that it can be used over concrete slabs that have up to 8 lbs. of moisture vapor emissions per ASTM 1869, or 90% R.H. per ASTM F2170. As with all Vapor Master Adhesives, we require intact vapor barriers under all on or below grade concrete slabs. VM568 is different from the rest of our Vapor Master line of adhesives in that it has excellent built in alkalinity resistance. This means that for concrete slabs with a pH of 11.0 or less you only have to do simple floor prep, which may consist of any combination of sanding, vacuuming, and damp moping the slab before the application of the adhesive, and floor covering. For slabs with a pH higher than 11.0 we require a 10% muriatic acid wash followed by double rinsing, and thorough drying of the slab before application of the adhesive, and floor covering. Unlike our other Vapor Master Adhesives VM568 does not require a coat of ENCapSeal™ after pH remediation. All substrates receiving installation of vinyl floor covering utilizing VM568 must exhibit at least a minimal amount of porosity with the ability to absorb moisture topically. VM568 is not recommended over imperious substrates. See our label, and technical data sheet for full details for use of these unique products.
