Title: Adhesive on metal floor
Post by: Paul Simpson on February 03, 2011, 03:19:21 pm

Had an enquiry for adhesive removal on a raised metal floor caused by vinyl tiles approx. 300m2.
Said a builder told him he could cover about 10-15m2 per hour for removal but that I can't get access to look at it at the moment.
Never done this before so not sure of the best method to do it or how easy it would be  ???
Anyone any experience of this know what would be involved?

Thanks
Paul

It can go 2 ways.

Will depend owhat kind of chems you can use in the building.

Adhesive type and it's application method. Trowel or roller.

Best weapons are slow, heavy rotary. 3M High Productivity Pads, floor stripper.
Best to try a few different ones.

Spray it on. Floor scraper for worst then scrub and vac.

Everything will get unbelievably sticky and will take an age to clean up afterwords.

If you are really lucky it will be rolled on Uzin water based adhesive that will come off with hot soapy water.

Thanks for the reply, I think he said it was acrylic adhesive  ???
It will just have to be a broad ballpark figure for the moment I think.
Thanks
