For
many years non porous carpets have typically been installed with the use of
pressure sensitive adhesives. This method allowed adhesive to totally dry to a
tacky state before installation. These products were mostly heavy 6ft wide
vinyl back products or were cut into carpet tile.
With the year-end
opening of its state-of –the-art cork and bamboo flooring manufacturing
facility in Dalton, GA, USFloors will firmly establish itself as the leader in
this category and the only manufacturer of cork and bamboo flooring in the USA.

In
2000, DuPont introduced its newest polymer platform, DuPont™ Sorona® polymer.
Although DuPont discovered Sorona® in the 1940s, it never launched due to the
high cost of propanediol or PDO. A
research program concluded with the development of a process to make Bio-PDO®
using a fermentation process of corn sugar. In 2004, a joint venture known as
DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products, LLC was formed to produce this new
renewably sourced monomer. Incorporating Bio-PDO® into Sorona® made it a
renewably sourced polymer.
Dubai
International Airport is one of the world’s fastest-growing airports, and is in
the midst of a long-term plan for expansion. Terminal 3 was recently completed
after three years of construction, and features 3.8 million square feet of a
Brazilian stone called Panha Fragola Corcovado, or “PF”. PF presented a serious
sealing challenge because the stone contains soluble pyrite (an iron sulphide)
which can absorb water from the mortar bed during curing and cause severe
discoloration. IKAN, Inc, a local distributor of Aqua Mix care and maintenance
products, recommended a six-sided sealing solution in order to protect the
stone from moisture throughout the 28-day curing process.
It’s hard not to be
aware of the benefits of building green these days when everywhere, you turn
and everything you read, is about something “green”. Advances in adhesive
technologies have allowed the development of formulas that reduce or eliminate
VOCs without reducing the durability and performance of the products.
