When choosing the right floor adhesive, you typically consider three types: MS, polyurethane, and acrylic. To help you choose the best option for your flooring project, let’s explore the advantages of these three adhesives and their project-specific advantages.
Polyurethane Flooring Adhesive:
Polyurethane adhesives (such as Tengyu TP691) offer strong adhesion and are effective for bonding various types of wood flooring. They also offer excellent flexibility and elasticity, adapting to the shrinkage and contraction of wood flooring caused by temperature swings.
Advantages:
- Moisture barrier
- High bond strength
- Versatile, suitable for all types of wood flooring
- Excellent elasticity, cushioning floor deformation
- Suitable for underfloor heating
Acrylic Based Adhesive for Vinyl Flooring:
Acrylic adhesive for vinyl flooring(such as Tengyu TA102) are solvent-free and provide a strong, reliable bond. They are particularly popular for their low odor and low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, making them an environmentally friendly choice.
Advantages:
- Low odor and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions,
- High coverage,
- Moisture-resistant,
- Easy to use
MS Adhesive:
MS Polymer Floor Adhesive (such as Tengyu TM507) is an environmentally friendly wood flooring adhesive made with advanced MS polymer technology. It features permanent elasticity and is used to install wood flooring onto subfloors.
Advantages:
- Ready to use, no mixing required, and easy to smooth
- Suitable for all types of wood flooring
- Solvent-free and water-free
- Waterproof and highly flexible
How to Choose the Right Flooring Adhesive Glue for Your Project?
Common flooring types include PVC, rubber, solid wood, composite wood, and engineered flooring. Different flooring types require different adhesives, and choosing the right adhesive ensures a smooth and durable installation.
| Flooring Type | Recommended Adhesive | Recommendation |
| PVC / Vinyl Flooring | Acrylic Flooring Adhesive | Eco-friendly, water-based, easy to apply, cost-effective, suitable for large areas. |
| Rubber Flooring | Urethane Floor Adhesive | Strong adhesion, wear and pressure resistant, ideal for heavy and elastic rubber flooring. |
| Solid Wood Flooring | Urethane Floor Adhesive / MS Polymer Floor Adhesive | Flexible, accommodates wood expansion and contraction; MS adhesive offers extra eco-friendliness. |
| Engineered / Laminate Flooring | MS Polymer Floor Adhesive | Strong bonding, flexible, moisture-resistant, ideal for eco-conscious projects. |
In short, the right adhesive ensures your floor remains beautiful and functional for years to come. Whether you choose a flexible polyurethane adhesive, an environmentally friendly MS flooring adhesive, or a water-based flooring vinyl glue, consider your specific needs and consult with professionals like Tengyu Chemical for the best solution.
