NO SWEAT – WITH UZIN Moisture Tolerant TECHNOLOGY
The path to the perfect floor often takes you over damp substrates. At UZIN, as a professional full-range supplier of floor installation systems, we have made it our business to develop new innovations and solutions continuously for these cases – so that floor installation is as convenient and safe as possible, even on damp substrates.
Whether you are looking for a more environmentally friendly and faster moisture tolerant system or a moisture barrier system. We have the right solution for every situation, every building and every preference.
The modular system for ultra MOISTURE TOLERANT INSTALLATION SYSTEMS
Supplemented by other well-known products from the UZIN range, such as the UZIN EP 20, our MT core range makes up the modular system you can use to put together your custom alkaline and moisture tolerant installation solution from UZIN.
- Highly tolerant to alkaline moisture
- For quick and simple installation
- Economic and resource-saving alternative to classic barrier systems
- Reduces drying times
- Use working time efficiently
UZIN systems with MT Technology start with the dispersion primer UZIN PE 360 PLUS, the repair mortar UZIN NC 182, the levelling compound UZIN NC 161 and the universal adhesive UZIN KE 25.

Moisture-blocking / braking products
Using a moisture-blocking primer such as UZIN PE 460 and UZIN PE 414 BiTurbo or the UZIN HydroBlock System creates a barrier to the moisture in the substrate.

UZIN MOISTURE TOLERANT TECHNOLOGY
When the floor covering is installed with UZIN MT Technology, the substrate moisture diffuses through the alkaline and moisture tolerant products that are used.

In the MT Classic system, there are fewer work steps involved in installation – for example, there is no need for sanding. This saves you valuable working time and allows you to plan your resources more intelligently.

CLEVER COMBINATION IS HALF THE BATTLE UZIN Moisture Tolerant Systems AT A GLANCE
MT Technology means UZIN has a wide range of modular systems that allow you to install a floor covering on damp substrates precisely to your requirements.
UZIN MT CLASSIC SYSTEM – INSTALL MOISTURE TOLERANT WITH EASE
The UZIN MT Classic System is suitable on damp, cementitious substrates without using moisture-barrier or moisture-braking products. As a moisturer barrier layer is not required and the associated work steps are also not necessary, a floor covering can be installed very time- and cost-efficiently. The hard work to sand the reaction resin primers is also avoided. And on top of all that, the UZIN MT Classic system has a lower carbon footprint compared to a classic PU or epoxy
resin-based barrier system.
Benefits:
- Efficient – new economically effective solution thanks to innovative system component
- 100 % tolerant to alkaline moisture – for 100 % reliability when installing
- Time-saving – using UZIN MT Technology reduces your work steps
- Ergonomic – carrying, spreading and sweeping sand is a thing of the past. Using UZIN MT Technology, no sanding is necessary
- More resource-friendly – compared to a classic PU or epoxy resin-based barrier system
- More installer-friendly – mandatory training to use PUR products is not necessary, as well as other benefits
* Suitable alkaline and moisture tolerant floor covering
UZIN EPOXY SANDWICH – THE MOISTURE-BARRIER AND LOW-CONSUMPTION SYSTEM
The Epoxy Sandwich System is used for extremely rough and moist concrete and cement substrates. In general, the moisture barrier is applied directly to these substrates – at consumption of up to 1 kg/m2. Using our new UZIN MT Technology, the substrate can be levelled with UZIN PE 360 PLUS and UZIN NC 161 before applying the epoxy resin primer, reducing epoxy resin consumption by up to 60 %. Floor coverings can be installed with suitable adhesives or other flooring constructions systems can be used on top.
Benefits:
- More cost-efficient – thanks to optimised consumption volumes
- More ergonomic – no sanding necessary
- More resource-friendly – compared to a classic barrier system
UZIN RR 185 – FOR INSTALLATION ON CRITICAL DAMP SUBSTRATES
UZIN RR 185 is a stabilising underlay for installing flooring under particularly adverse conditions. In conjunction with the UZIN MT system products – such as the UZIN PE 360 PLUS and the UZIN NC 161 – master fine levelling, even on the most challenging substrates. The result: 100 % alkaline moisture tolerance and a significantly more uniform installation pattern of the floor covering.
Benefits:
- Creates more uniform installation surface – allowing for levelling work on even the most difficult substrates
- 100 % tolerant to alkaline moisture – for 100 % reliability when installing
- Renovation friendly – easy to remove again
UZIN EARLY BIRD – THE SYSTEM FOR EARLY BONDING ON CEMENTIOUS THIN SCREEDS WITH RESIDUAL MOISTURE
You frequently have to install height compensation of several centimetres before installing a floor covering. Normally thin screeds are used for this, which often have a long drying time until they are ready for covering. The UZIN Early Bird System reduces the drying time of thin screeds – depending on the layer thickness – by up to 75 %. So you can finish your flooring work earlier.
Benefits:
- Time-saving – thanks to earlier covering of the cementious thin screeds
- 100 % tolerant to alkaline moisture – for 100 % reliability when installing
- More cost-efficient – thanks to the omission of the moisture barrier
- More resource-friendly – compared to a classic PU or epoxy resin-based barrier system
- More installer-friendly – mandatory training to use PUR products is not necessary, as well as other benefits
* Suitable alkaline and moisture tolerant floor covering
UZIN EARLY BIRD – THE EARLY INSTALLATION SYSTEM FOR SEALANTS
Using the UZIN Early Bird System for sealants, you can seal damp substrates with rising damp without using a moisture barrier primer. Thanks to moisture tolerant levelling compound and permeable sealant, the alkaline moisture from the substrate
does not affect the installation materials that are used – so the drying times for moisture-barrier primers are dropped.
Benefits:
- Time-saving – thanks to earlier sealing of the UZIN NC 161
- 100 % tolerant to alkaline moisture – for 100 % reliability when installing
- More cost-efficient – thanks to the omission of the moisture barrier

MOISTURE-BARRIER & MOISTURE-BRAKING UZIN SYSTEMS AT A GLANCE
The UZIN HydroBlock System is the first eco-friendly complete system from UZIN for moisture-blocking substrate preparation on concrete for storey ceilings, concrete floors without subsequent moisture and cement screeds up to 5 CM-% or 98 % RH. The UZIN Hydro LevelStar, makes up a fully-fledged alternative to EP and PUR products.
UZIN epoxy resin primers are real all-rounders when it comes to the traditional barrier and reinforcement for very damp substrates, even under heavy load. They also reliably retain moisture on cement screed and concrete.
You can use UZIN 1-component PUR primers to prepare the substrate perfectly – in particular you need to work fast. The quick-fix solution helps to create a barrier to residual moisture in the substrate on all cementitious substrates.
