E-TAK 99 Premium Adhesive - Pressure Sensitive | Ecore (E-TAK-99)

Ecore E-TAK 99 Premium Adhesive | Multi-Flooring Pressure Sensitive Adhesive

When installing high-performance flooring, choosing the right adhesive is critical—and Ecore E-TAK 99 delivers exactly what professionals need for long-term bond strength and dimensional stability. Formulated as a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive and plasticizer migration blocker, E-TAK 99 is engineered specifically for use with Ecore’s Heritage Motivate Performance Vinyl Tile (PVT), LVT, VCR Sound Control Underlayments, and 2mm Sheet Vinyl.

E-TAK 99 offers flexible installation options: apply at full flash for pressure-sensitive bonding or use in wet/semi-wet conditions for broader flooring compatibility. It delivers excellent initial grab and extended working time (up to 4 hours for pressure-sensitive, 60 minutes for wet installs), minimizing tile movement during setup and ensuring a cleaner, faster installation. Its high moisture tolerance—up to 99% RH—and pH resistance up to 12 make it a reliable choice for both porous and non-porous substrates. With built-in antimicrobial protection and smooth troweling, it’s the adhesive of choice for demanding commercial, institutional, and fitness applications.
