Stopgap 700 COSHH Assessment Form

A three-page COSHH Assessment Form for Stopgap 700

Stopgap 700 is a specialised, fast-drying, self-levelling smoothing compound developed by F. Ball for preparing flexible subfloors before installing new floor coverings. It is particularly effective on various surfaces, including plywood, steel, and raised access panels, where flexibility is important. Fibre reinforcement in Stopgap 700 significantly reduces the risk of cracks due to subfloor movement.

This compound is an ideal smoothing underlayment, applied directly over existing subfloors to create a suitable base for new flooring. Key features of Stopgap 700 include:

• Fast-drying: It supports quick installation processes, allowing for the laying of resilient floor coverings in as little as 3 hours after application.
• Flexible: The fibre reinforcement enhances its performance on subfloors that experience flexing or thermal expansion and contraction.
• Self-levelling: Designed to level out automatically, it ensures a smooth surface for the subsequent flooring.
• Walk-on hard: Once applied, it can be walked on within 60 minutes, enabling faster project completion.
• Marine use: The product is approved for use in marine environments, making it versatile for various applications.
• Protein-free: It suits biologically sensitive areas, ensuring safety and reliability.
• Heating system encapsulation: Stopgap 700 can also be used to encapsulate electrical heating systems installed over plywood, adding to its functionality in diverse projects.
