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 12mm in one application. With the addition of coarse aggregates, the thickness can be increased to 30mm. The product is suitable for use in installations incorporating underfloor heating systems. Norcros Pro AF Leveller comes in grey and is supplied in a 20kg bag. It conforms to CT-C14-F6.

www.bal-adhesives.com Knauf Insulation Supafil® range first to earn DECLARE label
Knauf Insulation’s Supafil® range has become the first blowing wool solution in Europe to be awarded the DECLARE ‘Red List Free’ label. “DECLARE labels are new in the UK, but they’ll make a big difference to housebuilders” said Matt Prowse, Director of Housing and Specification at Knauf Insulation. “For the first time, people can see the environmental impact of individ- ual construction products at a glance. Using DECLARE labelled products – like the Supafil® range – ensures installer wellbeing and is a powerful point of difference to customers in a competitive market.” The DECLARE label presents a straightforward ingredient list, similar to familiar food nutrition labels. It shows other important details such as product life expectancy, end of life options and whether it contains chemicals featured on the DECLARE Red List.
“Housebuilders can also use DECLARE labels to verify their own sustainability and health and safety credentials” continued Prowse. “For example, it contributes to green building rating systems like LEED. This means you can use the Supafil® range to deliver buildings that are proven to be healthy and good for the environment.”
