New Zealand Made Liquid Latex Rug Adhesive

Our premium New Zealand Made Liquid Latex Adhesive is specially formulated for rug backing. With its thin liquid consistency, it penetrates deep into tufted fibres, creating a strong, flexible bond that locks your yarn securely in place.

Why Choose This Latex Adhesive?

Flexible & Durable Finish
Dries into a thin rubber-like backing that remains flexible while providing long-lasting durability. Your rug stays strong without becoming stiff or brittle.

Natural Non-Slip Properties
Once dry, the adhesive remains slightly tacky, helping prevent rugs from slipping on hard surfaces. This also reduces the amount of glue needed when folding edges or applying binding.

Carefully Selected Formula
After extensive testing, this latex was chosen for its superior performance, penetration, and reliability compared to other rug backing options on the market.
