Benchmark MRK-35:
High-Performance Self-Leveling Underlayment
Benchmark MRK-35 is an advanced Portland-cement-based, self-leveling underlayment engineered to correct uneven, out-of-level, or damaged floors in residential, commercial, institutional, and renovation environments. Designed for speed and reliability, MRK-35 cures to a smooth, hard, and durable surface—allowing installation of most floor coverings in as little as 24 hours.
MRK-35 delivers outstanding dimensional stability, excellent flow characteristics, and superior bond strength. It is suitable for use over clean, sound, and properly prepared substrates including concrete, wood, and other stable surfaces meeting a minimum 200 psi bond strength and stiffness ratings greater than L/360.
Optimized for interior, climate-controlled environments, Benchmark MRK-35 can be installed neat from 1/8” to 2” in a single lift, and can be extended from 2” to 4” with 3/8″ pea gravel depending on project needs. The rapid-setting, self-drying formulation provides exceptional performance.
Benchmark MRK-35 is compatible with most flooring adhesives without the need for additional primers or surface preparation, making it an efficient solution for fast-track construction schedules.
