Product focus: Stopgap 1400

A closer look at F. Ball’s new best-in-class’ high flow smoothing compound.

What is it?

A two-component smoothing compound with superior self-smoothing properties.

Where is it used?

Stopgap 1400 can be applied between 2 – 10mm thick to a wide range of absorbent and non-absorbent subfloors, including sand/cement and calcium sulphate (e.g. anhydrite) screeds, concrete, granolithic, sound asphalt, terrazzo, epoxy and polyurethane resins, ceramic and quarry tiles, as well as Stopgap waterproof surface membranes.

It is designed especially to maximise ease-of-use for where flooring contractors need to work quickly and efficiently, perhaps in multiple areas, but where they don’t require advanced features, such as suitability for application over old adhesive residues or flexible subfloors.

Something you might not know about the product:

It is also suitable for use where normal underfloor heating systems are contained within a subfloor, as well as to encapsulate retrofitted electrical wired systems. Furthermore, its low-odour, protein-free formulation allows it to be used in biologically sensitive areas and where adjacent areas remain open.
