RANGE REVIEW: ADHESIVES & SEALANTS
BOND IT TAKES
HIPPO
FLOORING TO A NEW LEVEL
Bond It, the leading manufacturer of sealants, adhesives and building chemicals, has launched three next generation, self-levelling flooring compounds.
T
he latest additions to the business’ portfolio form part of a revised LevelMaster range and provide users
with a tiered, good, better, best product choice. All three new flooring compounds employ advanced formulations to ensure superior performance and versatility. These new formulations are also protein free. “The use of protein free formulations across our updated LevelMaster range is significant because it offers a number of important benefits,” explains Kirstie Cooper, marketing manager at Bond It.
“It inhibits bacterial growth making all three new compounds particularly suited to environments where hygiene is of the utmost importance such as in kitchens or healthcare establishments. “In addition, it enhances bonding
properties and flexibility, enabling our new compounds to better accommodate the movement of suspended flooring and especially when that flooring isn’t closely fitted.”
Everyday essential The first of the three, new, Bond It self-levelling flooring compounds is LevelMaster LM200. This product, which is designed to be an everyday essential offering reliable results and good value, is an improved version of the manufacturer’s previous LevelMaster Standard.
Robust, durable and easy to use, LevelMaster LM200 is suitable for creating bed thicknesses from 0

– 12mm and can be used with underfloor heating that has been encapsulated in a screed.
Mid-range Bond It’s new, mid-point, floor- levelling compound is LevelMaster LM200FP. This product builds on the performance of LM200 but still retains a competitive price. It is able to offer greater strength, impact resistance and flexibility compared to LevelMaster LM200 thanks to the fact that it is fibre reinforced and polymer enhanced. In addition, LevelMaster LM200FP can be used with underfloor heating, and like LevelMaster LM200, is suitable for creating bed thicknesses from 0 – 12mm.
Range topper The new, range topping, Bond It self-levelling flooring compound is LevelMaster Fibre Plus. This product is an evolution of Bond It’s previous and enduringly popular LevelMaster Ad-Floor Plus. As well as being suitable for use with underfloor heating, Bond It LevelMaster Fibre Plus is polymer enhanced and fibre reinforced. This ensures all the same benefits in terms of strength, impact resistance and flexibility as LevelMaster LM200FP. What really sets Bond It’s LevelMaster Fibre Plus product apart, however, is its capabilities in terms of bed depth. It can be used to create beds of up to 50mm. This makes it the perfect choice for very uneven floors or where there is a need to accommodate intruding services such as heating cables and pipes.
Continuous improvement All three of the new Bond It LevelMaster flooring compounds offer a coverage rate of 4m2 at a 3mm thickness per 20kg bag, have a 12 month shelf life, are trafficable after three hours and can be overlaid after four hours.
Cooper adds: “The launch of LevelMaster LM200, LevelMaster LM200FP
and LevelMaster
Fibre Plus is evidence of Bond It’s relentless commitment to continuous improvement. “They build on the success and popularity of three previously manufactured products. These original products offered good levels of performance, but as a business we remain focused on providing more than good. “We aim to deliver the exceptional.”
