PRODUCT DATASHEET
DESCRIPTION: Rapid Set
®
CONCRETE LEVELER
®
is an advanced hydraulic cement-based
self-leveling underlayment that can be used both indoors and outdoors. CONCRETE
LEVELER has a ow life of 15 minutes, maintains workability for 20 minutes and
produces a at, strong surface with high bond strength. CONCRETE LEVELER is designed
for fast-track leveling applications and can be covered with nished ooring in 4 to 16
hours at 70°F (21°C), depending on the ooring type. This advanced underlayment can
be applied up to 2" (5.1 cm) thick and up to 5" (12.7 cm) thick when extended with
aggregate. Professionals choose CONCRETE LEVELER for self-leveling oor underlayment
applications when a fast, durable and economical solution is required.
USES: Use CONCRETE LEVELER when a high quality, fast-setting, self-leveling
underlayment is needed. CONCRETE LEVELER is ideal for all oor projects that need long
ow life and working time while achieving high 24-hour strength. CONCRETE LEVELER is
an excellent choice for new oor projects and repair projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADVANTAGES: Use CONCRETE LEVELER to reduce your carbon
footprint and lower your environmental impact. Production of Rapid Set cement emits far
less CO
2
than portland cement. Contact your Rapid Set representative for LEED values
and further environmental information.
SURFACE PREPARATION: Substrate must be clean, sound concrete that is free of gypsum
compounds and all materials that may inhibit bond such as: oil, curing compound, dust,
mastic, bond breakers, and other surface contaminants. Concrete vapor emission rates
should comply with the nished ooring manufacturer’s requirements. Smooth concrete
and hard-troweled surfaces must be prepared to achieve a surface prole similar to ICRI
CSP 3. Mechanical methods of surface preparation, such as shot blasting, are preferred.
Acid etching is not recommended. Surface must be dry and be between 50°F and 90°F
(10°C and 32°C), and be properly primed. Honor all moving joints and cracks.
PRIMING: Apply Rapid Set
®
Concrete Leveler
®
Primer to all substrate surfaces prior to
placement. Follow the application instructions stated on the primer product packaging.
APPLICATION: Apply CONCRETE LEVELER up to 2" (5.1 cm) thick. For thicknesses
greater than 2" (5.1 cm), extend each 50-lb (22.7-kg) bag with 25 lb (11.3 kg) of clean,
dry 3/8" (0.95 cm) pea gravel. When extended with aggregate, CONCRETE LEVELER may
be placed up to 5” (12.7 cm) thick.
MIXING: Add one 50-lb (22.7-kg) bag of CONCRETE LEVELER to 4.5 to 5 quarts
(4.3 L to 4.7 L) of potable water. Do not exceed 5 quarts (4.7 L) of water. CONCRETE
LEVELER may be mixed using a drill-mounted paddle mixer, or by using an appropriate
mixer and pump. Mix 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and lump free. Avoid
mixers that entrap large amounts of air. Mixed CONCRETE LEVELER should be placed
within 20 minutes at 70°F (21°C). Maintain material temperature between 60°F and 80°F
(16°C and 27°C).
PLACEMENT: When primer is completely dry, pour or pump CONCRETE LEVELER. Use a
gauge rake, spreader or other tools to place the material. Use a Rapid Set
®
Spiked Roller
to remove any entrapped air. A smoother trowel may be used to smooth the material.
CONCRETE LEVELER can be troweled to a featheredge to match existing elevations.
