1 The original recycled rubber impact sound insulation. ESTABLISHED SOUND INSULATION Original. Tested. Guaranteed. Previously Known As Dodge-Regupol QT

2 ACHIEVING KICK NOISE OUT. THE INDUSTRY S BEST IIC RATINGS. QT Sound Insulation is a line of high quality sound control underlayments, manufactured in the USA by Ecore International, a company that transforms reclaimed materials into unique performance surfaces that make people s lives better. QT has been tested in more than 550 laboratory and field assemblies. QT has been proven to repeatedly perform as engineered to meet design requirements. SINCE WHAT MAKES QT SO SUSTAINABLE? Made from 92 percent recycled tire rubber, the QT brand of products provides an environmentally responsible solution for quality sound control by using and reusing industrial and post-consumer waste. Ecore diverted over million pounds of truck tires from landfills in 2018 while only contributing 3 million pounds of waste to landfills. That s a Net Landfill Diversion of 106 million pounds.

3 Patent No. RE 41,945 CREATED IN 2000, QTSCU IS THE ORIGINAL AND LEADING RECYCLED RUBBER UNDERLAYMENT. is engineered for use directly under most floor finishes, yielding exceptional impact sound insulation results, even under hard surface flooring for concrete or wood-framed construction. SCU can be installed under most types of grouted, glued, and floating floors, including hard tile, hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, and LVT. 2-15mm flat sound control underlayment OPTIONS: Available in 48-inch-wide rolls and five standard thicknesses (2 millimeter (mm) - 15 mm). Custom thicknesses available Optional vapor barrier (only available for use underneath floating floors) BENEFITS: Made in the USA from 92-percent resilient recycled rubber and backed by more than 550 independent laboratory and field tests Fast, hassle-free installation Compatible with most floor finishes Doubles as a Tile Council of North America (TCNA)-rated high performance crack isolation membrane Can thin-set tile directly up per ASTM C627 Compatible with radiant heat flooring systems Five mm thick QT performs better than 12 mm cork per ASTM E2179 Slab Concrete Wood Joist Floor Finish Floor Finish Plywood Subfloor Insulation Concrete Slab Wood Joists Resilient Channel Suspended Ceiling

4 Composed of 92-percent recycled rubber, QTrbm is a dimpled mat designed for use under gypsum or full weight concrete. Also available with a moisture barrier, QTrbm features quick and easy dry-laid installation. Supported by more than 550 independent laboratory and field tests, QTrbm outperforms cork, felt, plastic, and roofing membranes while meeting all established indoor air quality standards to make it one of the most effective and sustainable products available. vapor barrier 6-25mm dimpled resilient base mat Resilient Base Mat QTRBM IS DESIGNED TO PRODUCE some of the THINNEST SOUND RATED SYSTEMS OPTIONS: Offered in 54-inch-wide rolls and three standard thicknesses (6mm, 10mm, 17mm) Offered in 48-inch-wide rolls for 25mm BENEFITS: QTrbm Easy installation just roll out, tape, and go Approved in more than 82 UL floor/ceiling assemblies and is system rated for commercial and residential use per ASTM C627 Minimum 1-inch pour meets sound rating criteria and is rated light commercial by the Tile Council of North America Durable enough to withstand movement of heavy equipment on surface Very low compression set versus entangled mesh mats Floor Finish Gypsum Concrete QTrbm OSB Subfloor TJI Resilient Channel Suspended Ceiling IN THE INDUSTRY.

6 QT Installation Guide STEP 1: After installing a perimeter isolation strip, apply approved adhesive to the subfloor using recommended trowel size. QTrbm STEP 1: After installing a perimeter isolation strip, QTrbm is easily rolled onto a smooth surface. It lays flat and will not slip or move. PERIMETER ISOLATION STRIP DESCRIPTION: Our perimeter isolation strips consist of expanded, closed cell, plank, polyethylene foam that meets ASTM D 1056 and ASTM D 3575 standards. This accessory is an economical, lightweight, flexible, compressible, resilient, non-absorbent, and inherent bond breaker that minimizes lateral sound transmission. MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS: ASTM D /ASTM D STEP 2: Lay the into the adhesive bed. STEP 2: Duct tape the seams. APPLICATIONS: To isolate vibration transmition path between the floor and the wall. AVAILABLE SIZES & PACKAGING: Standard thickness 6mm x 2.5 x 50ft rolls. STEP 3: Roll the QT with an approved flooring roller. NOTE: QTrbm is durable enough for foot traffic, pouring equipment, and materials. STEP 4: Apply thin set to the QT using TCNA recommended trowel size. STEP 5: Lay floor finish. STEP 3: Pour a minimum 1 gypsum concrete surface that meets required sound ratings and passes structural requirements. STEP 4: Prepare gypsum concrete surface for floor finish.
