The acquired product line serves luxury vinyl tile and plank, sheet flooring, vinyl composition tile, carpet tile, rubber flooring, underlayment, wall coverings and fiber-reinforced plastic wall panels.
The Spray-Lock business is now part of QEP’s North American operations. QEP said it plans to work with the acquired team, customers and business partners to support continuity through the transition.
The transaction adds differentiated water-based, low-VOC spray adhesives to a major flooring-installation platform, making it relevant to PCI readers following adhesives and sealants.
