Contact Adhesive 3M - Cork Glue

Contact Adhesive 3M - Cork Glue is a water-based contact adhesive formulated for permanently bonding cork flooring and cork wall tiles to most subfloor and wall surfaces. Water-based contact adhesive works by creating a chemical bond when two coated surfaces are pressed together — applied to both the subfloor or wall and the back of the cork tile or roll, allowed to dry, then firmly pressed contact-side to contact-side for a strong, temperature-resistant hold. Available in three sizes: 1 litre (covers approx. 45 sq ft), 1 gallon (covers approx. 175 sq ft), and 5 gallon (covers approx. 875 sq ft), based on one coat applied to each surface. Perfect for glue-down cork flooring installations, cork wall tile applications, cork rolls and sheets, professional renovation projects, and contractor and installer use across residential and commercial settings.

Why Choose This Contact Adhesive for Cork?

• Water-based formula is safer to work with than solvent-based alternatives, with lower VOC emissions for better indoor air quality during installation
• Chemical bond creates a strong, temperature-resistant hold that keeps cork flooring and wall tiles firmly in place long-term
• Adheres well to most subfloor and wall surfaces, making it suitable across a wide range of installation conditions
• Available in 1 litre, 1 gallon, and 5 gallon sizes, allowing contractors to order the right quantity for any project scope
• Dual-coat application method — one coat on the substrate, one on the cork — ensures full coverage and consistent bond strength

This contact adhesive is a reliable choice for professional cork flooring and wall tile installations, delivering a permanent, temperature-resistant bond that solvent-based and general-purpose adhesives typically can't match for cork applications.
