ECO FD E2C represents Anhydritec’s latest advancement in Gyvlon® screed technology, engineered to meet the demands of fast-track construction programmes without compromising performance.

By integrating Faster Drying (FD) and Early to Cover (E2C) technologies, this next-generation screed system delivers significantly reduced programme times while maintaining the proven benefits associated with the Gyvlon® range, including the availability of a low-skin finish and no need for post-installation sanding.

Meet Scheduled Completion Dates for Floor Covering

The FD (Faster Drying) technology developed by Anhydritec® optimises the internal microstructure of the screed to accelerate moisture evaporation. This results in drying times that are at least twice as fast as standard formulations, enabling significantly earlier installation of floor coverings and supporting compressed construction programmes.

The E2C (Early to Cover) technology enhances the mechanical performance of the screed, with particular improvement at the surface layer. This results in superior adhesion characteristics, enabling the safe installation of floor coverings at elevated residual moisture levels. Finishes such as tiles and resilient coverings (e.g. vinyl) can be applied from moisture contents as low as 1.5% MC, without compromising bond integrity or long-term performance.

The ECO FD E2C screed is ideal for use on projects with tight time schedules; helping you achieve demanding deadlines while maintaining the advantages of anhydrite screed.

Increase Installation Efficiency and Site Productivity

ECO FD E2C is engineered for high-output installation, achieving productivity rates of up to 200 m² per hour under appropriate site conditions.

• Light foot traffic: approximately 24 hours
• Acceptance of follow-on trades: typically within 48 hours
• Early covering: once target moisture thresholds are achieved

The screed delivers excellent dimensional stability, enabling floor finishes to be applied without risk of cracking, curling, or debonding.

Enjoy Versatility in Applications and Design Freedom

ECO FD E2C is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Underfloor heating and cooling systems
• Thermal and acoustic insulation build-ups
• Floor levelling and refurbishment projects

As an anhydrite-based screed, it offers minimal shrinkage and a reduced requirement for movement joints compared to traditional cementitious systems. This provides greater design flexibility, allowing:

• Large-format tiles and complex laying patterns (including diagonal layouts)
• Seamless or reduced-joint floor finishes
• Compatibility with resilient floor coverings in demanding environments such as healthcare and sports facilities

Engineered for Modern Construction Demands

ECO FD E2C combines rapid drying, early covering capability, and high installation efficiency into a single, robust screed solution. It is ideally suited to projects where speed, performance, and finish quality are critical, enabling specifiers, engineers, and installers to meet demanding compliance regulations and project deadlines with confidence.
