TriSeal Adhesive Residue Encapsulator
TriSeal is a light-colored, high-strength acrylic polymer compound formulated to isolate old cutback and other adhesive residues that would discolor or affect the bond of the new flooring installation. Prior to the installation of floor covering systems, TriSeal provides a clean surface for better adhesive bonds. Black asphalt-based cutback adhesive is highly reactive with vinyl back flooring and must be completely removed until there are no remaining trowel ridges or continuous film. TriSeal can be used to isolate the remaining permanent stain after the cutback has been removed.
