FAQs
A two part epoxy DPM such as UZIN PE 480 is required, buildings constructed pre 1965 will not contain a structural DPM nor were they widely used for many years after. It is also important to bear in mind that early construction DPM's where only 300 gauge compared to today’s more robust 1200 gauge Visqueen linings, and may be compromised allowing moisture to migrate through the slab.
It is advisable to prime dense surfaces such as DPM's with UZIN PE 280 primer prior to the installation of a smoothing compound. High levels of atmospheric humidity and low temperatures can result in moisture forming on colder surfaces which can compromise the bond between the smoothing compound and DPM if a primer is not applied.
UZIN PE 425 water based primer can be used to reinforce brittle screeds without the expense and mess created when removing and replacing weak screeds.
The use of UZIN PE 630 flexible primer in combination with UZIN NC 196 fibre reinforced smoothing compound is the ideal system on which to bond floorcoverings to.
UZIN KE 68 has been formulated to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations in areas of high solar gain such south facing conservatories and Bi-fold doors.
For areas of high residual moisture up to 95% RH UZIN L3 Gold moisture control system is the ideal choice when time constraints are an issue, you can prime, level and install in 4 to 5 hours.

UZIN NC 196 can be used to deep fill areas up to 40mm un-aggregated.
UZIN L3 Gold and UZIN NC 163 can both be used without primers in many situations. Please read the technical data sheets thoroughly before the commencement of works.

Yes. We would advise this to be in a wet set method, although certain sheet materials can go into a semi wet application dependent on usage. Please consult with UZIN Technical for further advice.
