Introducing Bostik® Hydroment SL-150TM
Self-Leveling Underlayment

“SL-150 is an excellent choice in a variety of commercial and residential applications — for repairing, smoothing and leveling concrete as well as existing ceramic terrazzo or approved plywood sub-floors prior to the installation of carpet, vinyl, VCT, aminate, solid and engineered

hardwood flooring, and ceramic or natural stone,” said Phil Pitts, Ceramic Product Manager for Bostik Findley Flooring. “Easy to apply, SL-150 can be walked in four hours or less, giving contractors the versatile, cement-based underlayment for which they have been waiting.”

SL-150 delivers an extended flow/heal time of 20+ minutes and high compressive strengths averaging 1500 psi after four hours to 5500 psi after 28 days. Suitable for underlayments requiring featheredges up to an inch thick, SL-150 can be applied featheredged to 5 inches thick when mixed with pea gravel as specified.

Before using SL-150, Bostik® Universal Primer TM should first be “broom applied,” rolled or sprayed over the substrate. SL-150 then can be spread using a metal straight edge, finish trowel, squeegee or similar hand tools. For larger jobs, best results are obtained when SL-150 is applied with an underlayment pump using a mixture of 5½ quarts of water per 50-pound bag.

One 50-pound bag covers 50 square feet at a thickness of 1/8 inch.

 “When formulating SL-150 we worked closely with contractors in the field to ensure that this new technology consistently exceeds both performance and price expectations,” Pitts said.
