Usage/purpose
A low permeability material designed to overcome the problems sometimes encountered in laying sheet floorings over new or old subfloors. ES500 can be laid over a variety of surfaces, such as old resilient and ceramic floor coverings, metal, access floors, subfloors contaminated with oil or paint, or damp subfloors. ES500 is suitable for general pedestrian and light commercial applications.
ES500 should NOT be used: In areas that are subjected to heavy wheeled traffic. Maximum point loading must not exceed 3 N/mm² On sub-bases that are subjected to hydro-static/osmotic pressure On ground floor timber-bases that are not adequately ventilated On ground floor woodblocks/wood mosaics On ground floor magnesite, granwood or other composition floors On damp calcium sulphate/gypsum screeds
Safety data sheet must be read and understood before use.
