CTS Concrete Leveler® Cement

Concrete Leveler is ideal for indoor and outdoor use, over new or existing concrete floor projects. Tested in accordance with: ASTM C1708. Rapid set® concrete leveler® is an advanced hydraulic cement-based, polymer-modified self-leveling underlayment that can be used both indoors and outdoors.

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.

PLACEMENT

When primer is completely dry, pour or pump concrete leveler with a minimum thickness of 1/8" (3 mm) over the highest point. 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.

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).

USE 

Use concrete leveler when a high quality, fast-setting, self-leveling underlayment is needed. Concrete leveler is ideal for all floor projects that need long flow life and working time while achieving high 24-hour strength. Use to level or change the elevation of your substrate prior to installing carpet, tile, hardwood, or resinous flooring. Concrete leveler is an excellent choice for new floor projects and repair projects.

LIMITED WARRANTY 

Cts cement manufacturing corp. (cts) warrants its materials to be of good quality and, at its option, will replace or refund the purchase price of any material proven to be defective within one (1) year from date of purchase. The above remedies shall be the limit of cts’ responsibility. Except for the foregoing, all warranties expressed or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are excluded. Cts shall not be liable for any consequential, incidental, or special damages arising directly or indirectly from the use of the materials.

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 finished flooring manufacturer’s requirements. Smooth concrete and hard-troweled surfaces must be prepared to achieve a surface profile 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.

HIGHLIGHTS 

-Easy To Use : Just add water.
-Tested in accordance with : ASTM C1708.
-Quick Setting : Ready for foot traffic in 2 to 4 hours.
-Interior/Exterior : Provides long-life durability in wet and dry environments.
-Minimizes downtime : May be used as a temporary work surface prior to installation of finished flooring.
-High Strength : Achieves 3000 psi (20.7 MPa) compressive strength in 24 hours and 5,000 psi (34.5 MPa) in 28 days.

FLOOR COVERINGS 

Ceramic tile may be placed in as little as 4 hours and other moisture insensitive flooring may be placed in 6 hours. Allow concrete leveler to cure for 16 hours prior to installing moisture sensitive flooring such as some adhesives and coatings. Always follow the flooring manufacturer’s recommendations for moisture vapor emission rate and retained moisture.
