CM 750 S

The substrate should be clean and free of dust, cement skin, grease and other impurities that can prevent adhesion. Adhesion and surface strength of the substrate should be no less than 0.5 MPa. If CM 750 is used as an underlay for epoxy/PU, the adhesion and surface strength of the substrate must be no less then 1,5 MPa. If CM 750 is ment as an underlay for glued wooden floors, the strength of the substrate must be the same as demanded off the CM 750. Always prime the underlying substrate with PP 600 and allow to dry before pouring. En ce qui concerne la formation de film de l'apprêt et le durcissement de l'auto-nivellement, la température du substrat ne doit pas être inférieure à 10 °C. For best results, the ambient temperature in the work area should be between 10 and 25 °C. At higher or lower temperatures, the time for curing will shorten or extend. With the risk for cracks due to shrinkage or settings in the subfloor, a concrete surface should not be leveled within the first 28 days after casting. As a recommendation the RH in the concrete should have reached RH 95 % as the upper limit for pouring the CM 750. Use the Combimix form foam for edging. In order to avoid drainage pipes from getting clogged, always make sure the drains are properly sealed before pouring.

Mix the dry powder with max 4.8 liters of water (max 24 %) per 20 kg bag. Mix with a drilling machine and a whisk, or a mixing pump intended for this purpose. The correct water mixture can be tested using a slump test with a cylinder with Ø 30 mm and a height of 50 mm on 300 x 300 mm plexiglas plate. With the correct water mixture, the spread should be max 150 mm. The slump test also checks that the material is well blended and that there is no separation.

The mixed material is applied by hand, or pumped out onto the substrate in lengths. Each new ribbon is added to the old one as soon as possible so that the material can blend together and create an even surface. The width of the ribbons can be adjusted to the capacity of the mixing pump and the thickness of the covering. The material requires a light treatment with a toothed trowel to provide maximum smoothness.

You can easily shape or cut the semi hardened self-leveling underlayment material before it fully dries. Always make sure that the material is sufficiently dry before it will be covered by a carpet or a foilsystem. The product is carpetable after 12 hours and paintable with epoxi/PU after 24 hours. The guided time for dehydration down to RH 85% of the product is 10 mm per week. The guiding value assumes a curing temperature of approximately 20 °C, 50 % RH and proper air flow. Les surfaces nouvellement construites doivent être protégées du vent, du soleil et de la pluie.
