Description

Transform your rug-making with our high-quality liquid latex. This versatile adhesive is perfect for all types of rugs and tufting projects, creating a strong and durable backing that will keep your tufted designs in place for years to come. Latex is the #1 choice for professionals in the hand-tufting industry and it is used in 95% of carpet and rug backings - find out why in our Rug Glue FAQs.

Liquid latex is safe to use with all types of yarns whether you’re working with wool, acrylic, cotton or other fibres and with any type of primary or secondary backing whether natural or synthetic. It's also suitable for any type of flooring surface, such as carpet, hardwood, and even heated floors.

This liquid latex is made from natural rubber latex - an organic raw material. It is sustainable, renewable and an eco-conscious choice of adhesive. It is 100% free from animal by-products, it does not contain VOCs and it is not hazardous to health or the environment. It is safe for those without latex allergies and regularly used in the production of medical goods, moulds and is even applied directly to the skin by special effects makeup artists.
