Earlier this year, Bostik unveiled an extensive line of surface preparation materials at TISE 2016 in Las Vegas. 

Bostik, Inc. one of the world’s largest manufacturers of adhesives and sealants, earlier this year unveiled an extensive line of surface preparation materials at The International Surface Event (TISE 2016) in Las Vegas. “This was a huge, monumental product launch program,” exclaimed Chris Eichman, Bostik’s Marketing Communications Manager. “Never before had we introduced 12 products at the beginning of the year.”
Now in Q3, it’s apparent the marketplace has accepted these new products. According to Eric Kurtz, LEED® Green Associate, Bostik’s Market Manager - Hardwood, Resilient & Surface Preparation Systems, “There are many reasons for this successful launch. One being that the majority of the Bostik self-leveling underlayments contain more than 20% recycled material. And two, we invest heavily to provide the highest-quality sales-support materials. For example, regarding these new products, we’ve just produced three readily available videos; all have been well received. SL-100™, a self-leveling product ideal for thick pours, is available for viewing by Clicking Here.  SL-175™, a durable wear layer, may be Accessed Here. And SL-200™, a terrific choice for thin resilient flooring applications, may be Seen Here.”
 
Additionally, the online CEU Course, “Surface Preparation for Flooring Installation: Meeting Industry Standards,” presented by Eric Kurtz and offered at AEC Daily, has been a major success, as well. 
Scott Banda, Bostik’s Director of Marketing Director and Business Development, added, “Our new cement-based self-levelers offer unique benefits and advantages including being affordably priced, adding installation thickness properties and being ‘walk-able’ much faster than competitive products. They offer contractors the autonomy to install tile, stone, resilient, wood and other floor coverings directly over them. Bostik’s commitment is to continue delivering the highest quality surface prep materials to the marketplace. Always.“
