Newton 601 Slimline M6 - Flooring membrane

Newton 601 Slimline is a high-grade flooring membrane used primarily for isolating moisture-sensitive flooring from dampness in the floor slab. It can be used as the floor membrane as part of Newton System 500 when the survey has ascertained that no risk of water entering through the body of the slab.

Newton 601 Slimline allows for the installation of sensitive flooring to be laid above ‘green’ still curing concrete as soon as the concrete is walkable, usually two days, significantly reducing project times.

Guaranteed against deterioration for 30 years and has a life expectancy of at least 50 years.

Newton 601 Slimline can be finished over with screed, 18 mm or 22 mm tongue and groove chipboard, or particle board. Laminate and timber flooring should be installed over a layer of 18 mm or 22 mm tongue and groove chipboard. Sports floors are also suitable - consult manufacturer for details.

Consult manufacturer's literature for relevant surface preparation recommendations.

Features and benefits:

• Can be installed above slabs that are not yet cured, and as soon as the concrete is walkable.

• Able to resist very high compressive loading.

• Can be installed as a high-load DPC within structural block walls.

• Inert and highly resistant to water, alkalis, hydro-carbons, saline solutions and organic acids.

• Not affected by minerals, and resistant to bacteria, fungi and other small organisms.

Applications:

• To protect flooring from not yet cured slabs.
