High Performance Smoothing Compounds
Stopgap 700
Super Flexible, Fibre Modified Smoothing Compound
STOPGAP 700 is a fibre modified smoothing compound that enables fast-track installation of new floorcoverings over flexible substrates. You can use it on preformed subfloors, such as plywood or stainless steel, including raised access panels. These types of subfloor flex or expand and contract slightly due to normal foot traffic and temperature changes.
The development of specialist levelling compounds creates a suitable base for receiving floorcoverings when working over these kinds of subfloor, as they better accommodate these movements. Read more about how to use STOPGAP 700 in our case study here.
This fibre modified smoothing compound uses fibres to reinforce and maintains its integrity. This helps to prevent cracks from forming as a result of subfloor movement. These act like steel rods in reinforced concrete, ensuring that the installation retains its strength despite these stresses.
Its fast-drying technology allows the installation of resilient floor coverings in as little as 3 hours, and is walk-on-hard after just 60 minutes. Being protein-free, it is suitable for use in biologically sensitive areas, and you can also use it to encapsulate wire heating systems over plywood up to a maximum thickness of 10mm.
