Tested in accordance with International Maritime Organisation (IMO) standards, both products will carry the Wheelmark logo on product packaging and accompanying literature; the logo is an internationally-recognised mark for MED-certified products that are suitable for use in marine and offshore applications.
Stopgap 300 is a fast drying self-levelling compound suitable for use in light to heavy-duty areas for preparing a wide range of sound absorbent and non-absorbent subfloors, prior to the installation of new floorcoverings.
It is low odour and protein-free, which also makes it suitable for use in biologically sensitive areas.
Stopgap 600 is a water mix, base compound designed for use where floor levels need to be raised quickly and economically. It is designed for application up to a maximum of 50mm and a minimum of 5mm, to provide a sound base, prior to the installation of a recommended levelling compound.
Suitable for pump application, Stopgap 600 is self-smoothing, dimensionally stable and fast drying and sets in as little as 3 hours.
Stopgap 600 is suitable for light to heavy-duty applications and can be applied over sound absorbent and non-absorbent subfloors.
Like Stopgap 300, it is low odour and protein-free and can be used over a wide range of subfloor types.
Stopgap 300 and Stopgap 600 join a comprehensive range of F. Ball levelling compounds and adhesives that have been approved for marine use.
