SX500 - the smooth operator from TREMCO

Contractors seeking to achieve a one-day turnaround on jobs will welcome the introduction of SX500 Rapid Drying Smoothing Compound, as an integral part of a fast-track flooring solution from TREMCO.

 Crucially, the new OPC free product can be walked on in just half an hour, while most floor coverings can be laid after a drying time of 90 minutes. Furthermore it has been developed for use in conjunction with TREMCO ES600, a water-bases, one part moisture vapour suppressant, as well as a selection of adhesives to allow specialist installers to complete a rip-out and relay of areas in shops, offices, hotels and other time sensitive locations.

 A fast track system is also of particular advantage to landlords of social and affordable housing properties where a refurbishment often has to be completed within a day. The use of ES600 and SX500 in conjunction with a compatible adhesive allows the landlord to refurbish a number of areas at any one time, without causing major disruption to residents.

SX500 is moisture tolerant and can be used where underfloor heating is installed. It has a 40 % recycled content and is protein free making it ideal for projects where high environmental credentials are being targeted.

 As a two component product, SX500 Rapid Drying Smoothing Compound is supplied in 22 kg bags of the Part A dry powder and is mixed with 4.4 kg of activating liquid (Part B). Once mixed to a consistent colour using a slow speed paddle, the smoothing compound has an approximate working time of 10 minutes.

It is recommended that a Hygrometer test is conducted prior to the application of SX500. For more information on application guidelines, tremco illbruck's Technical Service's department should be contacted.
