Specification data - Polymer-modified levelling screed mixes

Classification data

Colour

Cement grey.

Thickness

Maximum and minimum screed thickness depends on incorporated aggregate. Screed should be at least three times and at most ten times as thick as maximum particle diameter of aggregate. Recommended grading of screed aggregate 0–8 mm; coat thickness approximately 25–80 mm.

Pot life

2–3 hours (approximately).

Guidance for specification option:

Stiffened mortar must not be retempered by addition of water or fresh mortar to restore workability.

Drying time

Walkable: After 7–8 hours; Ready to receive floor covering: For tiling: after approx. three days; for impervious coverings: after 3–5 days and after achievement of residual moisture content ≤1.8% CM.

Application temperature

5–25°C.

Minimum thickness

Floor heating systems, 25 mm pipe cover.

Suitability for castor chairs

Suitable (for castors to DIN 68131).
