TacTiles™ and InterTac Adhesive
InterfaceFLOR offers two types of adhesive systems for installing carpet tiles – glueless TacTiles™ and InterTac™ Pressure Sensitive Adhesive. The use of either of these adhesive products is important for compliance with all InterfaceFLOR modular carpet warranties.
TacTiles™ are glue free adhesive films that connect carpet tiles together to form a stable surface, creating a floating floor over almost any hard surface. They're a sustainable alternative and also perfect for heritage fitouts, where maintaining original flooring integrity is a concern.
InterfaceFLOR's next generation innovation TacTiles™ eliminate the health hazards of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) prevalent in conventional carpet glues, making them ideal for use in schools, healthcare facilities, public and private buildings.
TacTiles™ are easy ot remove and recycle, making replacement of stained carpet tiles a simple and economical task.
TacTiles™ use a small quantity of pressure sensitive adhesive, applied to one side of a poly film to connect carpet tiles together.
Surface preparation requirements for installations are the same as those for installations where adhesives would be used. TacTiles™ can only be used to install InterfaceFLOR carpet with GlasBac or GlasBacRe backings.
TacTiles™ should not be used for installing InterfaceFLOR carpet onto stairs, ramps, under heavy rolling loads or over existing carpet surfaces. The adhesive used on TacTiles™ resists water and alkaline solutions and resists plasticizer migration.

InterTac™
The InterfaceFLOR product warranty can be void if an adhesive system other than InterTac™ Pressure Sensitive Adhesive or TacTiles™ are used. This is especially relevant if the requirements of AS/NZS2455:2007 Parts 1 & 2 and the InterfaceFLOR Installation Manual recommendation in regard to substrate moisture and pH content are not closely followed.
InterTac™ is a water based pressure sensitive adhesive especially manufactured for the installation of InterfaceFLOR products. It has excellent coverage, adhesion and release capabilities and is suited to application by roller.
InterTac™ is also formulated with Intersept bicocide which works as a mould inhibitor.
