a method for producing a fast drying high solids adhesive wherein a water based polymer emulsion is modified with unemulsified elasticizing oils and reinforcing - tackifying resins to produce a stable emulsion of polymer , oil and resin without the use of additional emulsifiers or volatile organic solvents . when packaged in pressurizable canisters along with a suitable propellant , the adhesive may be sprayed through a suitable nozzle and deposited in a thin layer to form an adhesive film which has excellent bonding characteristics for many laminates such as fabric or textiles , wood , plastics , metals and rubber , and for adhering flooring materials such as carpet , linoleum , tiles and artificial grass to a variety of substrates .
