Durock EcoCap self-leveling underlayment is reported to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% and reduce embodied energy by 45% when compared to Portland cement-based or calcium aluminate cement-based underlayment products. The product’s lower surface pH enhances compatibility and durability of floor-covering adhesives. The underlayment can contribute to LEED credits and is fast drying and quick setting. It supports foot traffic within two hours, and most floor coverings can be installed after 16 hours. USG, Chicago Circle 60
