Answer This Question

A:  Always Test 5505 in an inconspicuous area prior to use. NOTE – The chemical composition of adhesives can vary greatly. Some reactive adhesives are difficult to remove once fully cured. It is always best to remove adhesives immediately while they are fresh. Do not scrub surface of wood aggressively as this may damage the surface.

              A:  Thank you for your inquiry. Roberts® R5505 Urethane/Multipurpose Adhesive Remover is a superior adhesive remover to aid in the removal of adhesive from flooring surfaces and tools. Uses: For the removal of fresh and recently cured urethane from pre-finished (non-wax) wood flooring.General: Unwanted adhesive should always be removed while it is fresh for best results. The chemical composition of adhesives can vary greatly. Chemically reactive adhesives gain strength over time and unless removed in their initial cure phase they will create a chemical bond to the substance they are on. Always test R5505 on a scrap piece of flooring or in an inconspicuous area prior to using. If you have further questions, contact technical services at 866-435-8665.
