Aladdin Commercial Enpress™ pressure sensitive adhesive
Aladdin Commercial Enpress™ pressure sensitive adhesive is specially designed to install Aladdin Commercial carpet tiles. Enpress™ pressure sensitive adhesive is nonflammable and has low odor
and “zero” calculated VOC’s, which makes it ideal for use in schools, health care facilities, public buildings, and anywhere odor is a concern. Enpress™ pressure sensitive adhesive is CRI Green Label Plus approved. This adhesive also meets or exceeds California requirements as specified in Rules 102 and 443 as well as California SCAQMD Rule 1168. This adhesive contains MicroSept™ broad spectrum antimicrobial protection.
Site and Material Preparation
Aladdin Commercial's Enpress™ pressure sensitive adhesive can be applied over a variety of porous and nonporous surfaces including: steel, Terrazzo, APA approved plywood, and properly prepared concrete.
The installation site must be acclimated with HVAC in operation. The floor and room temperature, as well as
flooring materials and adhesive, must be maintained at 65°- 95° F, and the humidity below 65% for 48 h ours prior to, during, and after the testing and installation. See carpet manufacturer’s installation instructions and CRI 104 Standard.
Sub floors must be structurally sound, smooth, dry and free of dust, dirt, wax, paint, grease, curing agents,
unapproved sealers, old adhesives and foreign matter. Concrete floors must be fully cured and dry. Calcium
Chloride Moisture Test (ASTM F1869) results must not exceed 5.0 pounds, pH must be between 5.0 and 9.0 and In-Situ relative humidity readings (ASTM F2170) must not exceed 80%.
When installing PVC backed flooring over old cutback or broadloom adhesive residue, use Mohawk Group
Sureseal as a barrier to help prevent plasticizer migration. Following instructions for use, apply the SureSeal only after existing adhesive is mechanically scraped to a smooth minimum residue. Do not use solvent or liquid adhesive removers.
Application:
Thermoplastic Backing: Apply adhesive onto floor with a 3/8” nap roller at a rate of 35 - 40 yd.2/gallon.
Ecoflex (urethane cushion): Apply adhesive with a 1/16” x 1/16” x 1/16” Square notched trowel at a rate of 16 – 22 yd.²/gallon.
PVC Backing: Apply adhesive onto floor with a 3/8” nap roller at a rate of 35 - 40 yd.2/gallon.
Keep the roller saturated and wet with adhesive throughout the installation in order to maintain a constant spread rate. Adhesive must be full spread, not grid method. Allow to completely dry until transparent, or does not transfer to finger when touched. Drying time will vary with temperature, humidity and air velocity; however, do not allow adhesive to dry for more than two hours before installing floor covering. Roll with a 75 or 100 pound carpet roller upon completion (depending on the type of floor covering being installed). See floor covering installation
Recommendations for further instructions.
Coverage:
Coverage should not exceed 40 square yards per gallon. Certain site conditions can reduce coverage rates. It is the responsibility of the installer to determine the proper amount of adhesive required for site conditions.
Shelf Life:
One year from manufacturing date, in an unopened container. Protect from freezing.
This product is not photochemically reactive as defined by California Rules 102 and 443.
VOC content is below that established by California SCAQMD Rule 1168.

Aladdin Commercial – Everseal
Concrete Sealer & Primer
Description: Everseal is a penetrating as well as a film-forming modified acrylic compound to
be used to protect concrete substrates with in-situ Relative Humidity readings up to 90% per
ASTM F2170, and alkalinity up to a pH of 11.0. It may also be used to treat dusty or porous
substrates for a better bonding surface. Everseal is nonflammable and dries to a clear film that
is alkali, plasticizer, and water-resistant. To clean up while wet, use soapy water; when dry, use
of a solvent may be required. Containers must be kept tightly closed. Protect from freezing.
This product is not photochemically reactive as defined by California Rules 102 and 443.
VOC emission levels are well below those established by the California SCAQMD Rule 1168.
IMPORTANT: It is imperative that the label instructions are followed precisely for each particular type of
use. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Everseal to seal against moisture: As a concrete floor sealer apply Everseal to completely clean, on
or above grade porous concrete substrates. In-situ Relative Humidity must be determined per ASTM
F2170. Everseal must not be used on floors where the in-situ Relative Humidity readings are greater
than 90%. If both tests are run, the in-situ relative humidity test with be the qualifying standard. When
sealing for moisture the substrate must be completely clean and free of any adhesives, cure and seal
products, or surface treatment additives applied by the general contractor, paint, oils and greases, or
any other material. Excessively hard concrete surfaces may need to be abraded to achieve porosity.
Everseal is a topical as well as a penetrating product that must absorb into and bond to the concrete to
perform against moisture.
NOTE: Relative Humidity testing (ASTM F2170) is the preferred method of moisture testing due to the
proven reliability of the test. Calcium Chloride testing (ASTM F1869) is acceptable but should a
moisture related failure occur, Relative Humidity test results will be the deciding factor.
Sub-floor must also be tested for pH with results not to exceed 11.0. Note that while the calcium
chloride test results may indicate acceptable moisture ranges, it does not indicate whether hydrostatic
pressure is a factor. Everseal is not guaranteed against hydrostatic pressure. The jobsite must be air
conditioned with HVAC in operation. The floor and room temperature, as well as the Everseal should
be between 65° and 95° F and the humidity should be between 10% and 65% for 48 hours prior to,
during and after the testing and installation.
To help ensure proper adhesive bond for installations where a potential moisture problem may exist,
apply Everseal on porous concrete with a 3/8” nap roller as an even coat over the entire surface of the
floor. Make certain to keep the application roller wet with material. Only one coat is required, at an
application rate of 35 – 40 square yards per gallon. Allow Everseal to dry for a minimum 4 hours, to
the appearance of a clear film. To clean up while wet, use soapy water. Dry residues may require the
use of a solvent remover. Again, the floor must be completely free of dust and dirt, paint, oil, curing or
release agents, sealers or adhesives, or anything that would prevent proper bonding directly to the
concrete and formation of a continuous film. Everseal cannot be used if chemical or solvent cleaners
or adhesive removers have been used. Everseal cannot serve as a moisture barrier if applied over old
adhesive residue. If present, the material must be removed by sanding or bead blasting before using
Everseal. The sub-floor must also be tested for porosity by pouring approximately 1/2 cup of water on
the surface and observing if it is absorbed. If the water is not absorbed within 15 minutes do not
proceed with the installation. A bond test must be performed before application of Everseal. A small
area of at least two to three feet² must be coated with Everseal and allowed to dry a minimum of four
hours. If Everseal can be peeled or scraped off easily, DO NOT PROCEED. If the bond test is
successful, installation may begin.
STOP: Due to the many additives being used in or on concrete slabs it is critical that the bond test be
performed. Some treatments will repel any sealer or adhesive. If usage instructions are not
completely followed, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT.
Everseal for surface preparation:
Everseal may be used to improve over-porous or dry sub-floors before Installations, providing a
smooth surface that will improve adhesive application.
Alkaline salts or high pH levels are brought to the surface with moisture as it emits from concrete. pH
testing must be performed. In the case of green slabs moisture could have been high during the curing
or drying out stage leaving alkaline deposits on the surface while the moisture level would test to be
normal. Everseal is effective up to a pH of 11.0. On these installations Everseal can be used in a onecoat
application to help prevent damage to adhesives and backing systems. This application must be
allowed to dry for 4 hours.
A bond test must be performed by attempting to scrape off the Everseal as described above. If it can
be scraped off, the sub-floor was not properly cleaned of old adhesive. Patching or leveling of sub-floor
must follow all manufacturers’ application and curing instructions prior to applying Everseal. Patch
must be a good quality cementitious material, NOT GYPSUM BASED.
Conditions excluded and not warranted;
• Installations that were not properly tested and treated as instructed.
• Use over unapproved sealers or curing additives.
• Improper application or use of sealer or adhesive or the use of unapproved adhesives
• Hydrostatic pressure in substrates or any test readings greater than 90% in-situ Relative
Humidity per ASTM F2170.
• Lack of Moisture test records.
• Where existing sealers or adhesives were chemically removed
• Failures due to outside sources of water, such as outside grade is above substrate, sprinklers
are soaking ground at the building foundation, overflow drains not directed away from the
foundation, flooding or other natural disasters or weather conditions
• Installations taken up or replaced prior to inspection by authorized personnel.
• Improper cleaning methods
• Failure of leveling or patch compounds of any kind
• Damage caused by expansion joints or other structural areas.
