LEVELiTe® F30 self-levelling floor screed compound is a free flowing self-levelling compound developed for heavy commercial and light industrial applications that sets to 25MPa. LEVELiTe® F30 has been specifically formulated for levelling and smoothing rough or uneven sub-floors prior to the installation of floor coverings and is suitable for use on cementitious screeds, concrete power floated 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-floor types, including cement/sand screeds, and concrete floors. The applied compound can be walked on after 2 to 3 hours. Floor coverings – such as carpet, tiles, vinyl and engineered wood – can typically be installed 24 hours after application. LEVELiTe® F30 can be applied in a feathered finish down to approximately 0,3mm, up to 15mm thick in one application. LEVELiTe® F30 is resistant to moisture once cured, and will not swell or delaminate. Final strength is 25MPa. LEVELiTe® F30 is pumpable.
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-floors be protected from rising damp to prevent dimensional changes in the floor covering (confirm the maximum permissible moisture content that the floor covering or adhesive can tolerate). LEVELiTe® F30 is resistant to rising moisture and should not swell or delaminate if exposed to reasonable moisture. Standard European practice has evolved that when vinyl flooring is to be installed, the surface bed is to be sealed with an epoxy moisture barrier, or similar. VAPORiTe® +PLUS epoxy moisture barrier system has been specifically developed for this purpose. 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 flow 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 LEVELiTe®. It acts as a pore sealer which will maintain the flow life and prevent air bubbles rising through the applied LEVELiTe® screed smoothing compound. Accordingly it is necessary to prime all surfaces with BONDiTe®. With very smooth non-absorbent sub-floors e.g. 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 LEVELiTe® F30 levelling compound.
Use 5 litres of water per 20kg 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. Briefly remix the LEVELiTe® F30 and then discharge onto the affected floor.
Mixed LEVELiTe® F30 should be applied within 5 minutes at 20˚C. This time is extended at lower temperatures and reduced at higher temperatures.
Pour the mixed LEVELiTe® F30 onto the prepared sub-floor. The mixed mortar will flow out and self-level. Use a suitable notched epoxy rake or spreader to obtain the required thickness; while a long-handled pin leveller/rake with height adjustment will simplify this operation and yield more consistent results. A long
handled spiked roller must be used to prevent air blisters from marring the finished surface. LEVELiTe® F30 has excellent self-healing properties which extend for some 30 minutes or longer after the pour, which minimises cold joints and surface irregularities.
LEVELiTe® F30 can be applied at a minimum thickness of 0.3mm to a maximum of 15mm in a single application.
When applying LEVELiTe® F30 at a thickness of over 15mm, incorporate up to an equal volume of 3 or 6mm clean, dry, fines free, graded gravel. Alternatively, multiple layers can be applied to the dry previous layer. Contact our technical advisors for detailed information. Bulking-up of the product can be a viable option for significant sub-floor deviations where speed of drying is a factor.
Approximately 1.4 kg of LEVELiTe® F30 per 1 mm thickness per m². E.g. one 20kg bag of LEVELiTe®F30 will give enough material to cover approximately 4.7m² at an average thickness of 3mm. NOTE: The coverage figure is based on a flat level surface. Additional material should be allowed for where the surface is rough or uneven.
