BOSTIK LAUNCHES ADHESIVE WITH UP TO
30% MORE COVERAGE Bostik has launched STIX A600 EVOLUTION, a new soft floor adhesive that contains glass ball technology, enhancing the product's handling performance and coverage rate. The multifunctional adhesive is suitable for use with all types of carpet and most resilient floorcoverings, including PVC sheet and tiles, linoleum, rubber and acoustic underlays.
STIX A600 EVOLUTION’s glass ball technology is exclusive to Bostik and consists of micro spheres of glass in combination with specific dispersions and raw materials. This makes it possible for Bostik to significantly reduce the density of the adhesive while still maintaining a high performance. This results in a high yield, with STIX A600 EVOLUTION able to cover a surface area more than 30% larger than that covered by the same quantity in weight of a standard soft floor adhesive.
As well as greater coverage, Bostik's glass ball technology also provides
