Frequently Asked Questions

What is Maxxon® Unglued and how does it work as a floor adhesive remover?

Maxxon® Commercial Unglued is a fast-acting, non-toxic, fully biodegradable floor adhesive remover specifically formulated to dissolve and lift pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs), mastics, and glues from interior concrete and wood subfloors. As a floor adhesive remover, it is applied directly to the residue, left to dwell for a typical 2 to 4 hours, then scraped away removing the adhesive without the need for grinding, mechanical scarification, or harsh chemical solvents. Its zero-VOC (0 g/L) formula requires no forced ventilation, making it suitable for use in occupied or enclosed commercial and residential buildings.

What types of floor adhesives can Maxxon® Unglued remove?

Maxxon® Unglued is effective for floor adhesive removal of a wide range of adhesive types, including pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) used with LVT, LVP, and sheet vinyl; mastics used under vinyl composition tile (VCT), vinyl asbestos tile (VAT), and carpet; and general construction glues on concrete and wood subfloors. It is designed specifically for interior subfloor renovation applications including multi-family housing, commercial office renovation, hospitality, and school flooring replacement where existing floor covering adhesive must be removed before new flooring can be installed.

How long does Maxxon® Unglued floor adhesive remover take to work?

Maxxon® Unglued typically requires a dwell time of 2 to 4 hours, depending on site conditions, adhesive type, and adhesive thickness. The product is mixed (liquid and powder components are combined in the pail), applied over the adhesive residue, and left to penetrate and break down the adhesive bond. After the dwell period, the softened adhesive is scraped from the subfloor. Ambient and surface temperatures must be between 54°F and 95°F during application and dwell for the product to perform effectively.

Is Maxxon® Unglued safe for floor adhesive removal in occupied buildings?

Yes. Maxxon® Unglued is one of the safest floor adhesive removers available for use in occupied or partially occupied commercial buildings. It is non-toxic, non-caustic, fully biodegradable, low odor, and has a zero VOC content of 0 g/L meaning it does not require forced ventilation during use. This makes it appropriate for flooring renovations in hospitals, schools, senior living facilities, hotels, and multi-family housing where occupant health and air quality must be maintained throughout the project.

What is the coverage rate of Maxxon® Unglued floor adhesive remover per kit?

Maxxon® Unglued covers 80 to 100 sq ft per gallon, with a full 4-gallon kit (packaged in a 5-gallon pail) covering 320 to 400 sq ft per application. Coverage will vary based on the type and thickness of the adhesive residue heavier mastic deposits or multiple layers of adhesive will reduce coverage. The product has a shelf life of 2 years unopened and 1 year after mixing (remix before reuse), and must be stored above 54°F.

Can Maxxon® Unglued be used for floor adhesive removal on both concrete and wood subfloors?

Yes. Maxxon® Unglued is compatible with both interior concrete and wood subfloors, making it a versatile floor adhesive remover for both new construction prep and renovation projects. It is suitable for commercial and residential renovation on concrete slabs (poured-in-place, lightweight, and precast) and wood subfloor panels. After floor adhesive removal is complete and the subfloor is cleaned and dry, new flooring systems including Maxxon underlayments, primers, and finished floor coverings can be installed over the prepared surface.
