UZIN NC 560 FusionTec Smoothing Compound

UZIN NC 560 utilises advanced FusionTec binder technology, which combines the beneficial properties of both calcium sulphate and cement-based binders. The calcium sulphate binder provides exceptional flow during application and an ultra-smooth finish that enhances the aesthetic quality of surfaces. The cement binder offers strong performance and reliable drying times. The lower-carbon formulation is also more environmentally sustainable than traditional cement-based smoothing compounds, while still ensuring high performance and durability.

UZIN NC 560 FusionTec smoothing compound addresses the growing demand for eco-friendly construction materials. This innovative smoothing compound is formulated to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions, achieving up to 25% lower emissions than traditional cement-based smoothing compounds. By utilising a combination of cement and gypsum binders in UZIN NC 560, construction projects can not only meet but also enhance sustainability objectives and adhere to lower-carbon specifications. This makes it an excellent choice for builders and architects focused on minimising their environmental impact while maintaining high performance and quality in their projects.

For flooring renovation projects involving old screeds, concrete, or mixed, potentially unstable substrates, a low-stress self-levelling compound can create a smooth, reliable base for new flooring. UZIN NC 560 smoothing compound is specifically designed for challenging renovation subfloors. It offers excellent flow, high load capacity, and long working time, making the application easier.

UZIN NC 560 smoothing compound combines the flow and smooth finish typically associated with calcium sulphate binders with the strength and reliable drying performance of cement, thanks to its FusionTec technology. This enables installers to achieve a super-smooth surface effortlessly. Furthermore, the compound's extended working time allows for efficient application over larger areas, especially when pumping. 
 

Low-stress self-levelling compounds such as UZIN NC 560 are suitable for application over screeds containing underfloor heating when the heating has been commissioned in accordance with the British Standards and manufacturer's guidelines. UZIN NC 560 smoothing compound is often selected for underfloor-heating systems because it helps reduce stress and the risk of cracking. Its formulation is not only low-stress but also offers great flow and a prolonged working period, making it perfect for establishing a smooth foundation before installing vinyl, LVT, rubber, carpet, or wood flooring.

A spiked roller should be used when applying self-levelling or smoothing compounds. Rolling the freshly applied material helps release trapped air, improve flow and reduce the chance of pinholes or small surface bubbles. This supports a smoother, more uniform finish before the final floor covering is installed.

For high-flow products such as UZIN NC 560, using a spiked roller after spreading helps the compound settle evenly and achieve its intended smooth surface. Roll while the compound is still wet and within its working time, using steady, overlapping passes without overworking the material.

For larger installations, it is advisable to apply a liquid screed or self-levelling compound that offers excellent flow, a long working time, and reliable drying properties to ensure consistent pumping and even application. UZIN NC 560 self-levelling compound is ideal for pump applications due to its extended working time of approximately 45 minutes under suitable conditions, which is especially helpful at higher temperatures.

With its low-stress FusionTec formulation, outstanding flow characteristics and high strength UZIN NC 560 enables installers to achieve a smooth and even surface over large areas. It can be applied in thicknesses ranging from 1 to 20 mm, typically becomes walkable after about 4 hours, and allows most floor coverings to be applied after approximately 16 hours.
