UZIN Plurafilm Hydro Double-sided Adhesive Tape & DPM

For damp proofing screeds or flooring refurbishments, UZIN Plurafilm Hydro DPM Tape can be a faster alternative to a traditional epoxy damp-proof membrane (DPM). The tape combines moisture protection with an adhesive, avoiding the need for full moisture-proofing systems, which involve a DPM, smoothing compound, wet adhesive and the associated curing time with all products. 

UZIN Plurafilm Hydro can protect against residual and rising moisture up to 99.9% RH and is suitable with LVT, vinyl, carpet, and rubber floor coverings. Once installed, the floor can be walked on and used immediately, helping prevent business closure and disruption. It is particularly suitable for shop fit-outs and fast-track flooring refurbishments that require quick, clean and easy renovations. UZIN Plurafilm Hydro is EC1 PLUS certified for being safe, solvent-free and low in emissions, unlike most epoxy-based DPMs.

A tape based flooring installation system, such as UZIN Plurafilm Hydro, can significantly reduce installation time by combining damp-proofing and floor covering installation. UZIN Plurafilm Hydro tape is ideal for rapid retail fit-outs and time-sensitive refurbishment projects, allowing floors to be refurbished without closing operations or via overnight installs. The damp-proofing (DPM) tape is designed to protect against residual and rising moisture levels of up to 99.9% relative humidity (RH). It can be used for installing various floor coverings, including luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), vinyl, carpet, and rubber. Since there is no need for a wet adhesive curing period, the newly installed floor is ready for immediate foot traffic and use, minimising disruption and potential business downtime.

In retail settings, a low-emission tape such as UZIN Plurafilm Hydro helps support better indoor air quality for staff and customers while reducing exposure to odours and emissions. This is particularly beneficial when refurbishment work is completed in or near occupied areas, helping to protect occupants, food, and merchandise.

UZIN Plurafilm Hydro DPM tape allows new flooring to be installed over damp concrete or screeds up to 99.9% RH. The tape combines damp-proofing and floor-covering installation in a single process. The fast system protects against residual and rising moisture levels up to 99.9% relative humidity and is compatible with LVT, vinyl, carpet, and rubber flooring.

The UZIN Plurafilm Hydro eliminates the need for a separate epoxy damp proof membrane (DPM), simplifying the installation process. On suitable, level and smooth subfloors, this system can also remove the need for a separate smoothing compound stage. Since no wet adhesive is used, there is no waiting time for adhesive to cure. Once the floor covering is installed, it can be walked on and loaded immediately, allowing some refurbishment projects to be completed in as little as one day. This reduces labour, disruption, and business downtime, making the system ideal for rapid retail fit-outs and time-sensitive commercial refurbishments.

UZIN Plurafilm Hydro is an EC1 PLUS-certified, ultra-low-emission adhesive tape. This is particularly beneficial in occupied or sensitive environments because it avoids the strong odours, solvent vapours, and extended curing periods associated with some traditional epoxy damp-proof membranes.

Using a tape adhesive such as UZIN Plurafilm Hydro, floors such as LVT, vinyl, carpet, or rubber can be fitted without waiting for a wet adhesive to cure. Once UZIN Plurafilm Hydro is installed, the new floor is immediately ready for foot traffic and loading, allowing businesses such as retail to reopen sooner.

UZIN Plurafilm Hydro also provides moisture protection for suitable cementitious subfloors with residual or rising moisture of up to 99.9% RH. Its clean, tape-based installation helps reduce drying delays, labour stages and business downtime, making it perfect for shop fit-outs and fast-track flooring refurbishments.

Sheet vinyl can be grooved and welded immediately after installation by using UZIN Plurafilm Hydro, a moisture-protection and adhesive tape in one. Unlike wet adhesive installations, it does not require a drying or curing period, so the sheet vinyl can be grooved and welded immediately after fitting.

This helps create a sealed, hygienic floor finish quickly, making it particularly useful for retail, healthcare, education, and commercial environments where downtime must be kept to a minimum. UZIN Plurafilm Hydro also supports rapid installation over damp screeds up to 99.9% RH, helping simplify refurbishment programmes where residual or rising moisture could otherwise delay flooring installation.

UZIN Plurafilm Hydro DPM Tape can be used over screeds with underfloor heating where residual moisture is present, provided the heating system has been correctly commissioned in accordance with the floor-covering manufacturer’s guidance. UZIN Plurafilm Hydro can be used over screeds with residual moisture up to 99.9% RH and for installing carpet, sheet vinyl, luxury vinyl tiles, and rubber floors. Once the floor covering has been installed, it can be used immediately, with no curing time or delays. UZIN Plurafilm Hydro DPM Tape is therefore ideal for rapid flooring renovations in retail, office, school, and hospital settings.
