For professional vinyl flooring installations in both residential and commercial spaces, ADOS GreenStik Vinyl Adhesive 1L delivers a dependable, high-performance bond with the added benefit of safer indoor air quality. This water-based, low-VOC formula minimizes fumes without compromising on strength, making it a practical choice for projects in living rooms, offices, retail, and hospitality settings.

Why choose ADOS GreenStik Vinyl Adhesive 1L

• Low VOC, non-toxic, and low-odour — comfortable to use and safer for occupants, even in smaller or poorly ventilated areas.
• Isocyanate-free — a healthier option for installers and building occupants, reducing exposure concerns.
• Non-flammable and solvent-free — safer handling and storage with fewer on-site hazards.
• High viscosity, low slump with long tack-off — generous open time for large areas and complex layouts; helps minimize edge lift during installation.
• Dries clear and colourless (non-staining) — the cured adhesive remains invisible, preserving the floor’s appearance.
• Resists plasticiser migration — maintains bond integrity with PVC-backed materials and prevents adhesive bleed.
• Water resistant after cure — suitable for moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms (not intended for permanent immersion).
• Broad substrate compatibility — bonds to hardwood, plywood, particle board, timber and concrete, including unsealed timber and porous or imperfect substrates.
• Multi-material versatility — adheres to vinyl sheets, vinyl tiles, homogenous vinyl, laminated vinyl, and bonds carpet backings from foam to hessian.
• NZ-made and environmentally friendly — formulated for New Zealand conditions with a focus on safer, more sustainable building practices.

Where it shines in real-world installs

ADOS GreenStik is the go-to choice for professional vinyl installations on concrete, timber subfloors, or particle boards. It’s equally at home in commercial environments—offices, retail spaces, and hospitality venues—where low fumes and rapid, reliable bonding matter. The adhesive’s clear cure preserves the visual integrity of vinyl sheets and tiles, so aesthetics stay pristine from edge to edge.

Practical use cases and scenarios

• Residential Vinyl Flooring on concrete slabs or timber subfloors, where open time and precise placement matter for large sheet or tile layouts.
• Commercial Vinyl Sheets and Tiles in offices, shops, and hotels where low odour and quick clean-up are priorities.
• Carpet Backings ranging from foam to hessian, especially in spaces with limited ventilation.
• Moisture-prone Areas like kitchens and bathrooms (note: not for permanent immersion).

Tips for optimal results

Prepare the substrate by ensuring it’s clean, dry, and free of dust. Apply the adhesive to the substrate and/or substrate plus the back of the vinyl to achieve a uniform film. The generous open time allows you to reposition large vinyl pieces for precise alignment before rolling or pressing. Cure integrity and edge-to-edge seaming benefit from maintaining a consistent application thickness and avoiding puddling. When work is complete, cleanup is effortless with water, thanks to the water-based formulation.

Care, safety, and environmental notes

This adhesive is designed to be safer for installers and occupants, with non-toxic, low-odour characteristics and no solvents. It’s non-flammable and isocyanate-free, aligning with safer-handling practices on-site. After curing, the clear film helps preserve the floor’s appearance, and its resistance to plasticisers helps surfaces look newer for longer. For installations where moisture exposure occurs but immersion is not planned, GreenStik provides a robust, reliable bond that supports long-term performance.
