ECB® (Elastomeric Crack Bridging) is the world’s first ever self-adhering anti-fracture membrane. Since its birth in 1983, NAC’s ECB membrane has revolutionized the flooring industry for crack protection and performance.
The ECB family of sheet membranes, when combined with an NAC primer, offers world-class crack isolation protection for both commercial and residential use and same day tile application to expedite your solutions. ECB membranes are rated “Extra Heavy Duty” and reduce down-time, while always providing our signature crack isolation protection.
HOW IT WORKSECB membranes consist of a base layer of polymer-modified elastomers permanently adhered to a unique “stress flex” fiber sheet. The elastomeric base functions as a buffer by absorbing the thermal and lateral structural movement of the subfloor. Meanwhile, the “stress flex” fiber sheet creates a new flooring surface to accommodate most ANSI A118.4 mortars, organic adhesives and epoxy setting materials. All ECB membranes function also as a vapor barrier, providing Moisture Vapor Protection for up to 10#1000 SF/24hrs when used with an NAC Primer.
The powerful composition of ECB creates a high strength, self-bonding and self-healing membrane that protects the flooring investment. This makes NAC’s crack isolation the ideal peel and stick solution for residential and commercial applications.
ECB Classic, the world’s original crack isolation membrane, provides crack isolation protection for up to 3/8” of substrate movement, even in areas of heavy traffic.
Full Product Description Features & BenefitsECB Classic is a 40 mil, self-adhering, sheet-applied elastomeric membrane designed for use under floor surfaces that require protection from structural movement. The peel and stick membrane is permanently adhered to the substrate with an NAC primer while still maintaining the unique flexibility needed to protect against structural movement and cracks. Available in three sizes.
ECB 75 is the value priced alternative to ECB Classic and provides crack isolation up to 1/4", making it the ideal solution for interior residential applications.
