Can anyone advise on the following please? Carpet was taken up and underneath were marley tiles which had the glue adhesive stuck to them. What chemical would remove this and the method? Its a very large area about 1600 sq mtrs

Be very careful removing this as some of the old Bitumen glue's contain asbestos.  You could cover the bitumen with Mapei Latex plus which is a self leveling compound.

Sorry, they want to keep the tiles but have the carpet glue removed off them.

Aqua Mix Sealing & Coating Remover coupled with some razor scrapers and then clean it with a high alkaline.  Are the Marley Tiles Gloss or Matt?

Denise is referring to Marley Tiles they are totally different to the problem in your link.  This is an adhesive glue she has a problem with not a cynoacrylate.
