On the level with Norcros Adhesives
Norcros Adhesives’ latest addition to its comprehensive range of levelling products is proving very popular with specifiers and housebuilders. Norcros Pro AF Low Prep Self Smoothing Levelling Compound is an ammonia and latex-free, two-part levelling compound. It is suitable for use on most substrates without the need for priming. Norcros Pro AF Leveller has been specially formulated for use over old adhesive residues including bitumen, historically a problematic material to bond to. There is no need to prime or remove firmly bonded residues. This greatly reduces the time usually required for preparation of the substrate to be levelled. The quick-drying formulation means that ceramic and porcelain tiles can be laid in just three hours. It also acts as a final floor finish for vinyl and other floorcoverings, which can be laid in four hours. Norcros Pro AF Leveller can be used from 0 to 12 mm in one application. With the addition of coarse aggregates, the thickness can be increased to 30 mm. The product is suitable for use in installations incorporating underfloor heating systems. Norcros Pro AF Leveller comes in grey and is supplied in a 20 kg bag. It conforms to CT-C14-F6.
