Abstract:
A method, comprising adhering a floor covering to a floor with a floor adhesive comprising an aqueous composition, free of organic solvents, plasticizers, and additional tackifiers, containing water and20-99% by weight of a polymer having a glass transition temperature below âˆ’25Â° C., the polymer being composed (1) of from 60 to 100% by weight of C1-C20-alkyl (meth)acrylates, vinyl esters of carboxylic acids of up to 20 carbon atoms, vinyl aromatics of up to 20 carbon atoms, ethylenically unsaturated nitrites, vinyl halides, non-aromatic hydrocarbons having at least two conjugated double bonds or mixtures of these monomers, and 1-80% by weight of a filler, the percentages by weight being based on the sum of the components of the aqueous composition, with the exception of water, the floor adhesive being applied to one side of the floor covering.
