| Description | For use with radiant heat systems designed to meet the requirements of the Radiant Panel Association, this fast-applying gypsum cement provides an efficient thermal mass to maximize the effectiveness of the radiant heat system. Also available in green formulation using FGD recaptured gypsum. | Fast-applying formulation for electrical and hot water radiant heat floor installations under commercial-grade floor coverings. Non-shrinking, it locks tubing in place, preventing noise and tube chafing. Special formulation prevents the temperatures associated with radiant heat floors from breaking down the floor matrix over time. |
