Levelling compound for interior concrete floors
Characteristics and purpose:
Samoliv is a self-levelling compound used for levelling of interior concrete floors. It is suitable for application in rooms having underfloor heating, prior to applying floor linings (pvc floors, laminates, parquets...). After hardening, a fine smooth surface is obtained. It is applied in a thin coat, maximum thickness up to 8mm. If a thicker coat is necessary, repeat applying, but only over dried coat. Samoliv is not intended to be a final treading coat.
Application mode:
Compound preparation: stir thoroughly 25kg of samoliv in 6l of water until homogenous clot-free compound is obtained and leave it for 3–5 minutes. After that again stir thoroughly and levelling compound is ready for applying. Apply thus prepared compound onto desired surface. Applica-tion time is 25 minutes and the prepared compound must be used up within this period. Spill the prepared samoliv on substrate which must be clean, free of grease and other impurities that can prevent adhesion. If there are larger holes on the surface use keramol for their filling one day prior to applying samoliv. Prime substrate with acrylic primer maxikril concentrate or maxikril hydrosol, and apply samoliv after drying the prime coat. Prepared compound is applied mechanically or manually – by spilling. After applying, use metal trowel or rubber or metal spreader so as to spread compound uni-formly. Floor can be trodden after 24 hours, and/or 48 hours depending on the thickness of applied coat. Further treatment is possible after 4–5 days.
