W.F. Taylor Co., Inc.: Residential & Commercial Case Studies
Never satisfied with the status quo, W. F. Taylor introduces its new Taylor Meta-Tec® MS-Plus Advance™ Wood Flooring Adhesive. With the introduction of this advanced next generation adhesive, W.F. Taylor has enhanced its highly successful 100% solids Meta-Tec® MS-Plus modified silane polymer Wood Flooring Adhesive to offer even higher performance and greater user friendliness.
In addition to excellent bonding properties for all types of wood flooring and bamboo, Taylor Meta-Tec® MS Plus Advance™ now offers excellent concrete moisture inhibition and sound deadening properties in a single one coat application. Using the Taylor Glide-On™ trowel (available through W.F. Taylor), a single adhesive coat is applied, and the flooring can be immediately laid into the adhesive. This application method saves time and money for the end user while helping to protect the flooring from excessive concrete moisture up to 85% relative humidity. The Glide-On™ application also provides excellent sound inhibition ratings in accordance with ASTM standards Impact Insulation Class (IIC) 66 with ceiling ASTM E 492-04, without ceiling 52 and Sound Transmission Class (STC) with ceiling 65 ASTM E 90-04 and 51 without ceiling.
Further enhancements include extension of the working time of to lay into the adhesive up to 70 minutes dependent on job site conditions. Trowel ridge retention has been improved to create better handling and troweling and improved adhesive transfer to the back of the flooring. This improved MS-Plus ADVANCE™ RHEOLOGY now offered in four gallon pails gives the user the ability to ship 50% more adhesive per pallet, saving on freight and number of units required for the installation.
With these advanced enhancements, Taylor Meta-Tec® MS Plus Advance Wood Flooring Adhesive™ retains all of the outstanding properties that have made it the most advanced wood-flooring adhesive on the market. Taylor Meta-Tec® MS Plus Advance is a 100% solids solvent free, isocyanate free and water free adhesive with exceptional early green grab, and may be used to install all types of wood and bamboo flooring.
