<p>Novel adhesive materials and methods of using the same that are highly effective at securing flooring materials. The adhesive materials are used to secure flooring materials together. Additionally, the present invention is directed to methods of securing floor materials using the adhesive materials of the present invention. The present invention uses an adhesive material that is microencapsulated and then applied to the edge of the flooring material as part of dried medium. When the individual pieces of flooring material are placed into position, the microcapsules rupture, thereby releasing the adhesive. The adhesive then secures the edges of each individual piece to one another. Additionally, means may be used to aid in the rupture of the microcapsules to ensure the desired attachment of the flooring materials.</p> |
