These new solutions strengthen UZIN’s commitment to delivering advanced, standards‑compliant technologies that support contractors, distributors, and project teams in achieving reliable, efficient, and durable installations.
UX 500 SafeGuard is a fiber‑reinforced uncoupling and waterproofing membrane designed for interior tile and stone installations. SafeGuard rolls out flat with no memory effect and provides crack‑bridging performance with high compressive strength and load displacement. Rated ASTM C627 Extra Heavy, SafeGuard is suitable for concrete, gypsum, single‑layer plywood/OSB, and young concrete once walkable. When paired with UZIN HydroStop accessories, it forms a continuous waterproof system with vapor equalization,
UX 500 MicroGuard offers a reduced‑profile uncoupling solution with up to 50% less thinset consumption than traditional membranes. MicroGuard installs flat with no memory effect, isolates cracks up to 1/8″, and replaces traditional backerboard over single‑layer 5/8″ T&G plywood when deflection requirements are met. When detailed with UZIN WP Seam Tape or HydroStop accessories, it provides waterproofing and vapor management for fast‑track residential, commercial, and industrial installations.
CX 38 Lightweight Mortar is a non‑sag, polymer‑modified solution for large‑format tile and stone. CX 38 delivers outstanding non‑sag performance, extended open time, exceptional workability, and high yield—30 lbs. performing like a traditional 50-lb. bag. Suitable for interior, exterior, freeze/thaw, and submerged applications, it is compatible with UZIN uncoupling membranes and radiant‑heated substrates.
NC 888 MT is now fully moisture tolerant with no RH limit per ASTM F2170. This rapid‑drying compound provides extreme bond strength, superior smoothing, and fast turnaround—foot traffic in 10-60 minutes and readiness for most floor coverings in 15-120 minutes. It retains its 1″ depth capability and >3,000 psi compressive strength.
All products are now available for order.
