Gyvlon Binder

Gyvlon Binder is a formulation of synthetic anhydrite, a by-product derived from the chemical industry, which is micronized and blended with additives and used as the binder in self levelling flowing floor screeds. Gyvlon liquid flowing screeds are produced at the readymix plants by mixing Gyvlon Binder, sand aggregates and water to produce a low carbon, low impact alternative screed to traditional and flowing sand-cement screeds. Gyvlon liquid flowing screeds are delivered by mixer truck and pumped onto the floors of buildings. Thanks to their high fluidity, they are easily compacted and levelled by screeder’s using a dappling bar to achieve a flat (Surface Regularity SR1 to SR2) level, smooth surface. Within 24 hrs, the screed sets, hardens and is ready for foot traffic within 24 to 48 hrs. Gyvlon liquid flowing screeds do not shrink, which leads to no curling or cracking of the finished product, a thin cross-section (from 12mm) and high mechanical performance, unlike cementitious screeds. Gyvlon liquid flowing screeds are perfectly suited to cover underfloor heating pipes thanks to their higher thermal conductivity and thinner cross-section, exhibiting more reactivity and thermal performance than other screeds. Thus, they are thinner, lighter and more robust, they offer more thermal performance, present a very low environmental impact and have a service life ‘equal to the life of the building’ (BBA Certificate, 50-60 years ‘Normal life’).
