Underlayment Additive: Reduces Cracking Level Set underlayments now contain an Expansion Stabilization Technology brand additive to prevent shrinking and cracking.

The EST additive is designed to prevent adverse chemical and physical reactions during the pre-cure process, which causes the majority of shrinking. ProSpec; 800-738-1621; www.prospec.com |
