We’d like to introduce you to the latest innovation in industrial flooring: ARDEX K 71 Rapid Drying Industrial Topping and Wearing Surface.
The launch of ARDEX K 71 provides us with a significant advance in our industrial flooring range offering additional performance benefits over its predecessor. One outstanding feature is the versatility of application depth. Unlike K 80 and some of our closest competitors, K 71 can be applied neat at depths of 3-30mm – that’s three times deeper than K 80’s 5-10mm range. This means that for many applications a contractor won’t need to use an additional base product, or filler. The result is less time and labour, fewer variables, and less potential for error, offering a simpler installation.
Like all ARDEX products, ARDEX K 71 offers unique benefits over the competition, and by using the latest enhancements in cement-based technology we’ve been able to launch it at a competitive price without compromising on performance.
Key benefits of ARDEX K 71 include:
- Level from 3-30mm neat, compared to 5-10mm for ARDEX K 80 and many competitor products.
- For thicker applications up to 50mm simply add ARDEX Coarse Aggregate or standard pea gravel, or use ARDEX SD-T Base.
- Foot traffic after 2-3 hours and apply suitable sealers or resin coatings from 12 hours.
- High strength and AR 0.5 wear resistance rating.
- A1 Fire Rating.
- Pumpable or hand-applied, making it suitable for a variety of application methods and project sizes.
For the time being ARDEX K 80 is still available, but we’re confident that the additional performance benefits and price of ARDEX K 71 will help you better meet the needs of industrial flooring customers looking for a high-performance, cost-effective solution.
