UZIN Substrate Preparation Guide
Substrate preparation is a vital part of the success of
any floorcovering installation. Regardless of the substrate
composition, it’s the foundation which serves as the
platform for the installation of any floorcovering. The UZIN
Substrate Preparation Guide is intended to communicate
jobsite qualification requirements, common industry
surface preparation methods and equipment, and
methods to avoid in order to produce the best possible
substrate ready for the application of Uzin products. It
also communicates appropriate Uzin product options
and systems to meet floorcovering
manufacturer specifications. You can

PROJECT REFERENCE CASE STUDY
B.T. MANCINI CO., INC. | Milpitas, CA
Project: Thermo Fisher Scientific, Fremont, CA
General Contractor: Geis Companies
Thermo Fisher’s Fremont, CA facility is their
350,000 square foot Niche Diagnostics Center
of Excellence. They develop and manufacture
innovative technologies for diagnostic testing
and quality controls that are used in healthcare and
other markets. Thermo Fisher designed the facility
with a focus on energy efficiency, sustainability and
community stewardship. The UZIN materials used,
which are LEED® contributing products, also added
to the companies environmentally responsible
position.
SCOPE
55,000 square feet of self-leveling for resilient and carpet.
FLOORCOVERINGS
Shaw Quiet Cover LVP, Armstrong Medley, Armstrong Standard Excelon
CHALLENGES
B.T. Mancini ran into a fairly typical collapsing construction schedule. Installation windows
narrowed due to the need for other trades requirements on the project soon after the floorcoverings
were laid.
SOLUTION
After priming, leveling began using UZIN NC 150. Because NC 150 left a cover ready surface,
no post-preparation was needed, providing the required fast turnaround time to installation and
completion. The other added benefit to B.T. Mancini was the savings of additional labor costs that
would have been needed for post-preparation in order to make the surface ready for installation.

PROJECT REFERENCE CASE STUDY
NFI ENTERPRISES, LLC | Auburn, WA
Project: PCC Natural Markets - Greenlake Village, Seattle, WA
General Contractor: Woodman Construction, Inc.
Seattle’s PCC Natural Markets Greenlake Village location
boasts a 27,000 s/f floorplan with a unique retail-residential
concept. It pairs upscale apartment and condo living on the
upper floors with a vibrant retail community on the ground
floor in one of Seattle’s most desirable locations next to
Green Lake. PCC Natural Markets is the anchor tenant with
a construction envelope that features the store level above
the parking garage. This provided the opportunity for UZIN
technical managers to use our product systems to solve
some major slab deflection and leveling challenges.
SCOPE
27,000 square feet of leveling, crack bridging and substrate reinforcement.
FLOORCOVERINGS
DalTile 13x13 Porcelain Tile | Veranda Series
CHALLENGES
Adapt analysis software and a laser level survey revealed slab
deflections of between 1/2” and 5/8”, well above the maximum allowable
limit which caused a rolling substrate. There were multiple cracks at
column cores which needed to be chased, bridged and repaired. Areas
that would be subject to heavy loads and high traffic patterns needed
additional flexural strength.
SOLUTION
Column core openings were wrapped with foam barriers and the substrate was
then shot blasted. The floor was primed with UZIN PE 260 Substrate Primer
and then UZIN RR 201 Substrate Reinforcing Mesh was installed at all freight
hallways, support columns and over minor repaired cracks. UZIN NC 150 Project
Plus Leveling Compound was poured into the shallower areas and UZIN NC
170 Premium Leveling Compound was poured into the deeper areas. All poured
sections were ramped down with UZIN NC 182 Patching and Repair Compound.

LEED® Contributing Product
LEED®

product
This icon has been created by us to recognize those products in our range that qualify for LEED® points. LEED® or
“Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design” is a program developed by the U.S. Green Building Council that provides
third-party verification of buildings in order to satisfy certain environmental prerequisites and earn points to achieve different
levels of certification. For more information see www.usgbc.org/leed.
What it means to the planet
Products and programs help to conserve energy, water and other resources.
What it means for humans
Products and programs help to create healthier and safer environments for occupants.
ÖKOLINE
UZIN’s environmentally friendly Ökoline range of products meet the stringent 3rd party testing requirements of GEV
Emicode and Blue Angel for environmental safety and indoor air quality without sacrificing product effectiveness.
What it means to the planet
All Ökoline products are solvent-free and low-emitting which means they do not release
damaging volatile organic compounds into the environment.
What it means for humans
Because the Ökoline range recognizes and meets both GEV Emicode and Blue Angel requirements,
they help to maintain healthy indoor environments for consumers.
GEV-Emicode®
GEV represents the German acronym for the Association for the Control of Emissions in Products for Flooring Installation,
Adhesives and Building Materials or Gemeinschaft Emissionskontrollierte Verlegewerkstoffe (see www.emicode.com).
Emicode® is GEV’s trademark-protected name for their stringent testing and labeling system that categorizes products into
3 emission classes:
EMICODE EC 1 R PLUS = very low emission, regulated • EMICODE EC 1 PLUS = very low emission • EMICODE EC 1 = low emission
What it means to the planet
Although its mandate is primarily for the assurance of indoor air quality, by their very nature, these products are
extremely low-emitting so also do not contribute to greenhouse gas accumulation.
What it means for humans
GEV’s extremely stringent standards are recognized internationally as the highest level of indoor air quality protection.
The Blue Angel
The Blue Angel was the first environment-related label for products and services in the world. Since 1978 it has set the
standard for eco-friendly products and services determined by an independent jury and by defined testing criteria.The Blue
Angel is only awarded to products and services which are of considerable benefit to the environment and, at the same time,
meet high standards of effectiveness, health and occupational protection (see www.blauer-engel.de/en/).
What it means to the planet
Products are solvent-free and low in emissions and do not produce harmful ozone-depleting greenhouse gasses.
What it means for humans
Extremely low VOC’s, odors and preservatives which do not affect human health.
