The new UZIN Fibre Finish UZIN NC 888 F: FAST, FLEXIBLE & FIBRE-REINFORCED FOR BETTER REPAIR PROTECTION!
UZIN Fibre Finish is a versatile, fibre-reinforced feather coat for rapid repair, filling holes and skim-coating. Applied from a true feather edge up to 4 mm in a single coat, it provides improved stability and flexibility, making it less prone to cracking on substrates that may experience slight movement, such as flooring-grade plywood. It helps create a smooth yet extremely durable surface ready for floor covering installation.
Thanks to its very rapid drying, UZIN NC 888 F allows most floor coverings to be installed in as little as 15 minutes, allowing installers to work quickly and efficiently. With no primer required on many substrates and exceptional surface and joint-filling properties, it delivers a reliable and high-quality finish for the most demanding projects.

Q&A
Does UZIN NC 888 F Fibre Finish require a primer?
UZIN NC 888 F can be used without a primer on many substrates. It has excellent bonding properties to cement, concrete, flooring-grade plywood, ceramic tiles, terrazzo and old non-water-soluble adhesive residues. Always assess the substrate and refer to the relevant technical data sheets before application.
HOW do the fibres HELP UZIN NC 888 F Fibre Finish?
The fibres in a fibre-reinforced repair coat help make the material stronger, more stable and more flexible once it has cured. They are particularly beneficial when repairing or skim-coating substrates that may experience slight movement, such as flooring-grade plywood, chipboard or OSB. The fibres help the repair mortar accommodate minor movement and reduce the risk of cracking.
How thick can UZIN NC 888 F Fibre Finish be applied?
This feather coat can be applied from a true feather edge up to 4 mm in one coat. It is ideal for filling small holes, imperfections and joints up to 4 mm.
Do the fibres create a rough surface?
No. Despite being fibre-reinforced, UZIN NC 888 F is designed to produce a smooth, durable finish suitable for floor covering installation. The very fine microfibres improve stability and flexibility but do not prevent the material from being trowelled to a fine, feathered edge. The surface can be smoothed effectively while still benefiting from added crack resistance and repair protection.

Built for fast repairs without compromising durability
Floor preparation is crucial when addressing surface damage and minor imperfections, especially under tight project schedules. UZIN NC 888 F Fibre Finish is expertly formulated to meet these demands, drying quickly while maintaining essential flexibility and stability. Whether you are correcting uneven areas in a smoothing compound, filling small holes in a screed or skim-coating flooring-grade plywood, this versatile feather finish provides a smooth and reliable base for the next stage of the installation.
Its fibre reinforcement delivers added strength to substrates susceptible to slight movement, such as flooring-grade plywood. This innovation significantly reduces the risk of cracking and ensures a flawless finish before the final floor covering is applied. For installers, this means minimised downtime, streamlined processes and reliable repairs.
