HARDER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER
Floor coverings and solutions manufacturer, UZIN , has launched UZIN NC 163, a new
water-mix smoothing compound which can be used without a primer. Together with UZIN L3 Gold, UZIN now has a product offering ideal for renovation projects.
There has long been a misconception that only a lower strength bag and bottle product can be used to overlay old adhesive residues. With many resilient floor covering manufacturers requiring at least a 25N compressive strength smoothing compound, there continues to be a flaw in many installations. Lower strength smoothing compounds are susceptible to indentations that will mirror in the floor covering, especially if there is heavy traffic and trolley transportation. So, what should be used? Products such as UZIN L3 Gold or UZIN NC 163 are suitable.
16 | COVER STORY
UZIN NC 163 is a new and innovative smoothing compound which is designed to be used on renovation projects, saving you time and money. It can be used without priming on most common substrates, such as concrete and cement, as well as over old waterproof adhesive residues, such as bitumen, if hard, sound and well-bonded to the substrate. This is due to its extremely high flexural strength of 10N. It also has a compressive strength of 30N, making it ideal for use in commercial areas. It is ready to receive foot traffic after 2½ hours and most floor coverings can be
installed within 20 hours. It is easy to sand down and flows exceptionally well.
UZIN L3 Gold smoothing compound is extremely quick-setting and floor coverings can be installed after only two hours. It is ideal for use in refurbishment projects as it can also be applied over old waterproof adhesive residues if hard, sound and well-bonded to the substrate. It can be used without a primer in most cases and has a high compressive strength of 25N. It can also be used under a damp-proof membrane (DPM), is easy to sand down and flows exceptionally well.
