F. BALL REVEALS NEW PRIMER FOR NON-
ABSORBENT SUBFLOORS F. Ball and Co. Ltd., UK lmanufacturer of subfloor preparation products, has unveiled the latest addition to its range of popular primers, which is specially formulated to enhance the bond formed between the company’s floor levelling compounds and non- absorbent subfloors.
Stopgap P141 is designed to create a textured finish and provide enhanced bond performance between subfloor and levelling compound when applied over non-absorbent surfaces, such as epoxy waterproof surface membranes, ceramic tiles and power floated concrete. It is particularly recommended where Stopgap 600 deep base levelling compound is applied at a thickness greater than 20mm to non-absorbent surfaces. The strong bond created when using Stopgap P141 is better able to withstand the increased stress that thicker depths of levelling compound exert when drying.
F. Ball’s newest primer also boasts impressive coverage capabilities. Applied neat, using a paint roller, five litres will cover an area of up to 65 square metres, and achieving an even coverage is aided by it being pigmented yellow, to create a visual guide for contractors.
A further advantage of Stopgap P141 is its rapid-drying nature. From as little as fifteen minutes after application of the primer, subfloors are ready to receive levelling compounds.

LAUNCHES IN THE UK FILA has launched a new protective treatment for natural stone surfaces. New FILAMARBLE AID is an odourless, solvent-free treatment that protects against the aggression of staining, blocking the damaging effects of acids, alkalines, stains and heat. It creates a natural-look polished barrier for stone, marble, limestone and travertine that won’t yellow, discolour or create an ‘acrylic’ look.
FILAMARBLE AID has a safe, water- based formulation, with a low VOC content. It can be applied to new and existing surfaces, where it ‘buys time’ by giving protection for up to 24 hours. Unlike traditional treatments, which are UV-cured and removed by grinding, the new protector is applied onto a clean dry surface, in two coats, with a short-hair applicator. It can then be easily removed, if necessary, with FILANOPAINT STAR and re-applied.
The new treatment is ideal for all bathroom and kitchen surfaces, and is certified safe for food preparation
areas. As well as post installation application, it can also be applied ‘in-line’ as a factory finish, to give protection before fitting.
FILAMARBLE AID is a two-component treatment and it gives approximately 9.2m2 of coverage per 233ml package. Specialist advice on application is available via FILA’s partner, Superior Stone.
