Commercial Flooring Report: Vol. 34, № 1 (The Use of Solvent to Remove Old Flooring Adhesive)


 Volume: 34 |  Issue: 1 |  Download

We've had several calls and emails over the last two months regarding the use of solvents to remove old adhesive, particularly the black asphaltic cut back type, used for old vinyl asbestos tiles. These tiles are present in many older buildings, many of them schools. When asbestos abatement initiatives are undertaken in these buildings, one of the materials removed and abated are the vinyl asbestos tiles and the cut back adhesive used to install them.
