Multi-purpose non-toxic tile and flooring adhesive
AFM SafeCoat 3-in-1 Adhesive is a low-odor, non-toxic, formaldehyde-free water-based adhesive. Use it indoors for adhering small/lightweight wall tiles (less than 8" x 8") made of ceramic, also floor tiles made of ceramic, vinyl, parquet, and slate, and for any carpet application (except wool) where a typical carpet adhesive would be used. NOT for use on porcelain tile.
This product is not designed for hardwood, bamboo, carpet, or marmoleum/linoleum flooring. For that we recommend Taylor Resolute Resilient Moisture Barrier Adhesive, or Forbo Sustain 1195.
NOTE: 3-in-1 often appears like jello in consistency. This is normal; there are no solvents to maintain a smooth texture while it's in the can. Once troweled, however, it will spread smoothly. If the contents are a little stiff, simply use a paint mixer on a drill to mix the contents of the can.
Why We Like It
This product is easy to work with on many different projects around the home or office. It dries quickly and adheres very well without offensive odor. Although it's designed for walls and flooring, we've used it to glue all kinds of objects. For indoor use only.
Features & benefits
- Multi-purpose — designed for decorative wall tiles, flooring, and non-wool carpeting
- Improved indoor air quality — no toxic off-gassing
- Low-odor — non-offensive to installer and occupants
- Safe — for everyone, including the chemically sensitive; learn how to test a non-toxic product for tolerance
- Eco-friendly — very low VOC
NOTE: Do not apply to substrate in direct sun or where it's hot to the touch as this will cause excessively fast curing and prevent adhesion.
NOTE2: Do not use on sheet vinyl.
