Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the art of environmental remediation and more particularly to a process for removal of floor tiles which have environmentally objectionable contents.
- floor tile which as been adhered to a permanent substrate with an adhesive or mastic can be removed in tact by coating the tile material with a soy-based solvent wherein the solvent is retained in place for approximately four to five days at which time the tile can be manually lifted with no remaining adhesive effects and without the environmentally objectionable fracture and release of particulate matter.
- floor tile which as been adhered to a permanent substrate with an adhesive or mastic can be removed in tact by coating the tile material with a soy-based solvent wherein the solvent is retained in place for approximately four to five days at which time the tile can be manually lifted with no remaining adhesive effects and without the environmentally objectionable fracture and release of particulate matter.
- a soy-based solvent which is normally used for mastic removal.
- a soy product is sold under the Mark MA-99 SOY S-Pro, the Mastic Remover.
- Such product has almost no odor and has a flash point of over 400 degrees.
- Such product can be used on vinyl asbestos tile and vinyl composite tile.
- Such mastic removers are normally only used after the tile has been physically removed as described above.
- the long, soak period of at least 36 hours permits complete permeation of the tile and release of the mastic there below to permit complete removal.
