Trinseo launches all-acrylic binder for flexible flooring adhesives

LIGOS™ A 9210 is engineered for demanding flooring applications. It offers excellent 90° peel strength at room temperature, maintaining performance even after long-term aging at 50°C, thanks to its strong resistance to plasticizer migration.

It also minimizes dimensional changes within flooring layers, enhancing long-term durability. With rapid adhesion build-up, it allows flooring installations to be ready for use more quickly, especially Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) systems.

'With LIGOS™ A 9210, we're delivering a high-performance binder designed to meet the needs of the flooring industry,' said Giona Kilcher, CASE global business director, latex binders at Trinseo.

'Its superior adhesion, plasticizer migration resistance and dimensional stability provide manufacturers with a durable and reliable solution for modern flooring applications, helping to enhance both performance and efficiency.'

LIGOS™ A 9210 allows for extended open working time, supporting smooth and efficient installation. Its initial green bond strength provides a secure hold from the start, while compatibility with LVT makes it a versatile choice. With stable storage in bulk formulations, it offers a reliable solution for flooring needs. 

LIGOS™ A 9210 is produced using processes that minimize volatile organic compound (VOC) residues, making it an advantageous choice. The product meets rigorous third-party sustainability standards, including Emicode EC 1+ and Blue Angel certifications.

For customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa seeking to incorporate certified sustainable feedstocks, LIGOS™ A 9210 is also available through Mass Balance Certification (e.g., ISCC+), which may support Scope 3 emissions accounting, depending on the customer's methodology.
