Stopgap 500 Microcoat COSHH Assessment Form

A three-page COSHH Assessment Form for Stopgap 500 Microcoat

Stopgap 500 is a premium, specialised floor finishing compound meticulously engineered to create a flawlessly smooth and even surface on various subfloors, ensuring optimal preparation for installing new floor coverings. This highly versatile compound excels on various substrates including plywood, existing smoothing compounds, sand/cement screeds, and calcium sulphate screeds, making it an ideal choice for residential and commercial applications.

Applied as a thin layer—often referred to as a micro-coat—Stopgap 500 allows for feathered edges that blend seamlessly into the surrounding areas, promoting an aesthetically pleasing finish. Its rapid drying times greatly enhance productivity, minimising downtime and allowing for quicker installation of floor coverings. The compound possesses excellent dimensional stability, making it particularly suitable for environments subjected to light to medium foot traffic, such as homes, offices, and retail spaces.

Additionally, Stopgap 500 is available as a pre-blended dry powder, simplifying the mixing process and ensuring consistency in application. Its low-odour formulation and absence of proteins make it a safe and ideal selection for various flooring preparation requirements, particularly in spaces that prioritise air quality and odour sensitivity. This combination of performance, convenience, and environmental consideration makes Stopgap 500 a top-tier choice for flooring professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
