Description
Very Lightweight Underlayment IMO (VLW-IMO) is a 100% solids epoxy resin base mixed with a very lightweight aggregate to form a trowel applied decking underlayment for general use under all deck covering materials. Due to the rapid cure of Very Lightweight Underlayment IMO, it can be installed with minimum downtime. It can be applied directly to clean metal or steel. It offers every advantage for lightweight filler sloping/leveling compound for quick turnover maintenance and/or repair installations.
Typical Uses:
VLW Lightweight Underlayment can be used to level or slope a deck and provide a smooth even surface over metal, aluminum or steel for subsequent application of any deck covering products.
