A whole wealth of flooring expertise - now online

The globally operating, full-range supplier of flooring systems will present its seven brands - Uzin, Wolff, Pallmann, Arturo, codex, RZ and Pajarito - at BAU ONLINE, which will be a digital event for the first time. The organiser, Messe München, cancelled the trade fair for the building industry because of the covid-19 pandemic, but now exhibitors and visitors can share their opinions on Architecture, Materials and Systems online instead. From 13 to 15 January 2021, UZIN UTZ will be on the digital platform, offering insights into the latest product developments and classics on the subject of installing, finishing and treating floor surfaces. Visitors can register free of charge at www.bau-munich.com and book live demonstrations from the UZIN UTZ Group brands in advance or arrange 1:1 video appointments with sales agents.

"Uzin offers more": More innovation, more options

Under the "Uzin offers more" theme for 2021, the Group's largest brand will be presenting the details of the added value Uzin offers its customers. Our innovative products and applications are always in pursuit the goal of making each customer's daily work easier. Uzin recognises trends early on stage and develops new solutions from trends, such as the "reActivate Effect" of the low-slump, re-stirrable UZIN NC 182 NEU putty, which, like many new developments at Uzin, delivers a real improvement for users. But Uzin is also revolutionising the market by developing completely new products, such as the first levelling compound that indicates when it is ready for covering (UZIN NC 111 BiColor) and the first installer-friendly moisture barrier that also saves CO₂ (the UZIN HydroBlock System). In January 2021, Uzin will be the first manufacturer in the industry to launch a plasticizer-resistant tackifier applied by spray: the UZIN U 5000.

Wolff: Productivity and safety on site thanks to 18V battery-powered machines and Intelligent Machine Management

Wolff, the manufacturer of flooring machines, is presenting its pioneering 18V series alongside its now tried-and-tested Intelligent Machine Management (IMM) with an inserted chip. The chip makes service options available to maintain functionality and productivity. The technology also helps to determine location and provides information about upcoming maintenance work, all controlled from the Wolff smartphone app or a web application for the desktop. "Productivity" is also in the spotlight for the battery-powered 18V series. Cable-free tools make working on site more mobile, safer and more efficient and they deliver optimum work results with greater independence. The aim is to create the "cable-free site" in the next few years.

Pallmann

Discussing no less than 3 topics from floor sealer to machines and putty, Pallmann is launching into the new year and showing off its role as a full-range supplier for the wood flooring segment.

The successful Pall-X 96 floor sealer will be in the international spotlight at the Grand Final of the Pall-X 96 Wood Floor World Cup in the first half of the year. After the country winners have been nominated, the overall winner with the world's most beautiful project using the 1-component Pall-X 96 floor sealer will be chosen on 09/06/2021.

Fans of the Spider wood floor sanding machine can look forward to new, attractive features, as a powerful LED light and hubcaps will be part of the equipment from January. Further equipment upgrades are to follow in the months thereafter.

And with the new Pall-X Filler, Pallmann will be presenting a fibre-reinforced putty with a long pot life that can close even very wide joints in one step and without cracking.

Arturo: Variety in design and functionality

Concrete floors and concrete-look floor coatings are currently a major trend. The Arturo Concreta mineral floor coating and the Color Collection 2.0 based on the PU2030 and PU2060 floor systems see Arturo offers design concepts for a wide range of applications with unlimited variety in design. The new wear-resistant, easy-care Arturo PU7310 floor sealer with matt look, which comes with an attractive look and lasting protection as a finish, rounds off the product range of transparent lacquers. In the industrial sector, Arturo scores high with the hard, abrasion-resistant and heavy-duty Arturo EP2500 floor system. Sealed with Arturo EP3950 with the addition of Ballotini or by sanding with quartz sand can deliver a slip resistance of R10 or R12 (V4). All systems are low-emission and AgBB-compliant for a healthy indoor climate.

codex Triple for real tile and natural stone layers

codex Stone SX 50 MB is arriving on the market in time for the start of 2021, as a fast and economical medium-bed mortar for reliable natural stone installation for commercial projects. It is very low-slump and dries quickly and reliably, even at thicker layers of 5 to 20mm, and is ready for foot traffic after kist 2.5 hours, making it a problem solver on building sites with tight completion dates. The other two new products also show real character. The fine FM 344 levelling compound is fast-curing and extremely low-slump at the same time and the UX 430 fabric stress-relief mat is extremely stable for maximum load.

RZ: New extremely resistant 2-component RZ Turbo Protect Extra floor sealer

The cleaning and care products manufacturer RZ is further expanding its surface sealing product range around the RZ Turbo Protect product family. In addition to the coloured RZ Turbo Protect Color sealing lacquer, the solvent-free RZ Turbo Protect Zero sealer and the transparent RZ Turbo Protect Plus sealing lacquer, there is now another water-based 2-component lacquer for resilient floor coverings: the RZ Turbo Protect Extra. It comes with extreme resistance to disinfectants, dyes and chemicals, making the 2K-PU floor sealer particularly suitable for projects with floors that have to withstand these and similar substances.

Pajarito: Rugged. Effective. Durable

Pajarito, the brand for quality tools for the building trade, continues to meet the needs of contractors on site with an innovative new product. The new XXL wallpaper scraper is particularly suitable for large areas with its large usable surface. With a 2mm-thick hard PVC blade bevelled on one side, a rounded corner and its 50mm-wide wooden handle, the tool is robust, effective and durable, making it a real aid from professionals for professionals.
