The product is designed to provide strength at 3,500 psi, the ability to be submerged, and a fast cure rate to help installers complete long-lasting projects faster. The grout is also intended to provide versatility and color consistency. Spectralock 1 exceeds all standards under ANSI A118.3 according to Laticrete.
- NXT Level Plus and NXT Level Flow: Laticrete has recently expanded its NXT product line with the introduction of two high performance self-levelling underlayments (SLU): NXT Level Plus and NXT Level Flow. According to Laticrete, NXT Level Plus pours over more degraded substrates and eliminates extra steps, labor, materials and time. It can be applied to plywood, oriented strand board (OSB) and plaster, without the need to install a batten. NXT Level Flow offers pumpable, easy to use and high flow benefits and is designed to meet the demand for entry level self-leveling underlayment projects.
- Hydro Barrier Plus and Hydro Ban: Laticrete has expanded its line of waterproofing and crack insulation membranes with Hydro Barrier Plus and Hydro Ban XP. Hydro Barrier Plus is a thin, load-bearing, self-curing, liquid rubber polymer designed to form a flexible, seamless waterproofing, rupture-resistant membrane without the need for waterproof fabric. Hydro Ban XP is designed to capture the benefits of Hydro Ban, with a faster cure time and a lifetime warranty, but offers more extreme performance for a wider variety of conditions, such as lower to higher temperatures.
- Skim Lite: Skim Lite is a new fast-drying, polymer-modified, cement-based underlayment for topcoating, smoothing and leveling prior to floor application. Skim Lite is designed to provide the customer with lightweight properties while maintaining a strong surface. For installer safety, Laticrete says the product does not contain levels of respirable crystalline silica that exceed the OSHA action level. Suitable substrates include concrete, oriented strand board (OSB), plywood and vinyl tile.
- Multimax Lite: Multimax Lite, the one-step, non-sag, large and heavy duty tile mortar for indoor and outdoor installations of ceramic tile, porcelain tile, glass tile and stone and has received multiple certifications and certifications for sustainable living. Multimax Lite exceeds ANSI A118.15, the industry’s highest performance standard for a cement-based adhesive mortar, and is lightweight for easier transportation.
- Glass Tile Glue Lite: Glass Tile Adhesive Lite is a high-performance, lightweight, non-sag, polymer-reinforced adhesive mortar formulated for use in glass tile applications. According to Laticrete, the adhesive contains no respirable crystalline silica content that exceeds the OSHA action level, is ultra-white in color and unsanded with a smooth, easy-to-apply consistency and extended open time for easy installation. The robust formula provides high bond strength and exceeds the requirements of ANSI A118.15.
