DECORiTe®SLU self-levelling fl oor screed compound is a free-fl owing self-levelling compound developed for heavy commercial and light industrial applications that sets to >20MPa. DECORiTe®SLU has been specifi cally formulated for levelling and smoothing rough or uneven sub-fl oors prior to the application of DECORiTe® CEMOX fl oor fi nish and is suitable for use on cementitious screeds, concrete power fl oated surfaces, hardened old adhesive residues and soundly adhered ceramic and similar surfaces. Its high strength formulation has been designed to repair a variety of sub-fl oor types, including cement/sand screeds, and concrete fl oors. The applied compound can be walked on after 2 to 3 hours. Application of the DECORiTe® CEMOX can be commenced the following day.
DECORiTe®SLU can be applied in a feathered fi nish down to approximately 0,3mm, up to 10mm thick in one application. The standard application for DECORiTe® CEMOX is 5mm. It is resistant to moisture once cured, and will not swell or delaminate. Final strength is >20MPa.
NOTE: For internal use only due to the inability to control environmental factors such as wind or heat. It is recommended that direct to ground sub-fl oors be protected from rising damp to prevent moisture related problems with DECORiTe® CEMOX fi nishes. 3% moisture content is the maximum tolerance for the DECORiTe® fi nish. DECORiTe®SLU is resistant to rising moisture and should not swell or delaminate if exposed to reasonable moisture. VAPORiTe®+PLUS epoxy moisture barrier system has been specifi cally developed for moisture levels exceeding 3%. Please refer to the VAPORiTe®+PLUS data sheet. The surface must be hard, sound, dry and free of dust, dirt and other materials such as grease, oil and paint. Due to its fl ow characteristics, sealing strips should be placed at doorways or where the levelling compound is not desired.
BONDiTe® primer and bonding agent is an essential component in priming the substrate prior to application of DECORiTe®SLU. It acts as a pore sealer which will maintain the fl ow life and prevent air bubbles rising through the applied DECORiTe®SLU. Accordingly it is necessary to prime all surfaces with BONDiTe® . With very smooth non-absorbent sub-fl oors e.g. power fl oated fl oors, epoxy coated water barriers, and ceramic tiles it is essential to apply iTe SLURRY® or to lightly grind the surface to promote adhesion. When the slurry is dry, the surface should be ready for application of the DECORiTe®SLU levelling compound.

Use 5.0 litres of water per bag. Do NOT over-water. Add the powder to the required amount of clean cool water in a clean mixing container whilst using a +/-600 rpm electric paddle mixed until a lump free screed is produced. This will take approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape the inside of the mixing vessel to allow any unmixed product to fall onto the paste. Briefl y remix the DECORiTe®SLU and then discharge onto the affected fl oor.
Mixed DECORiTe®SLU should be applied within 5 minutes at 20˚C. This time is extended at lower temperatures and reduced at higher temperatures.
Pour the mixed DECORiTe®SLU onto the prepared sub-fl oor. The mixed mortar will fl ow out and self-level. Use a suitable notched epoxy rake to achieve a 5mm application. A long handled spiked roller must be used to prevent air blisters from marring the fi nished surface. DECORiTe®SLU has excellent self-healing properties which extend for some 30 minutes or longer after the pour, which minimises cold joints and surface irregularities.
DECORiTe®SLU must be applied to a minimum of 5mm.
Approximately 7.5 kg of DECORiTe®SLU per 5 mm thickness per m². E.g. one bag of DECORiTe®SLU will give enough material to cover approximately 3m² at an average thickness of 5mm.
