| Pre-Installation Checklist |
| A successful installation requires proper preparation of the sub floor. Read and understand all applicable guidelines and technical data sheets before installation. Follow industry standards and flooring manufacturer's recommendations for sub floor moisture content, design, layout and application of flooring materials. Backing of all flooring material must be solid and sound and free of any anti-adherents. All slab constructions must meet the specific requirements of the floor covering to be installed. |
| Sub Floor Examination |
| Prior to installation, the sub floor must be checked according to applicable installation guidelines. It must be solid and sound, clean, free of chaps and anti-adherents, as well as resistant to pressure and tension. While this product can withstand any moisture it is not a moisture barrier beyond the limitations stated below. Moisture content of all floors must be measured before installation. |
| Sub Floor Preparation |
| The condition of the sub floor will determine which type of mechanical treatment is required (e.g. wire brushing, sanding, grinding or shot blasting). Dust, paint, curing compounds, sealers, residual adhesives or other surface pollutants MUST be removed by suitable means. Extent of sub floor preparation can only be determined at the site by the installer. Clean the surface with an industrial vacuum cleaner, tack or damp mop floor before application. Do not use sweeping compounds as most will contain oil or wax which will act as an anti-adherent and prevent primers, sealers, leveling compounds, coatings and/or adhesives from bonding to the concrete. Cracks and gaps must be treated prior to application of primers, sealers, leveling compounds, coatings and/or adhesives (for details see Technical Information #19 @ www.staufusa.com) |
| Mixing of Components |
| Pour part B completely into part A.Thoroughly mix the two components with an electric mixer for at least 3 minutes or until a uniform mixture and color is achieved. |
| Installation Procedure |
| Spread the leveling compound within approx. 20 min. Pour the compound in a line approx. 6-12 feet long and as close to the wet edge as possible. Spread to the desired thickness by raking through the compound with the appropriate notched trowel. Avoid placing trowel directly in already spread areas as it may result in small puddles or droplets that may not flow completely out. Best results are achieved by moving in from a dry spot (not applied) then passing through the leveler. Finish by moving trowel to another dry spot (unapplied area) before lifting from floor. Release entrapped air approx. 30 min after raking by passing a spiked roller through the entire area. Protect the leveling compound from direct sunlight and draft during drying. |
| Limitations |
| When using other than STAUF products in conjunction with STAUF primers, sealers, leveling compounds, or adhesives, STAUF denies any and all responsibility for any ensuing problems and/or damages without prior written authorization from STAUF. |
| In case of accident, injury, spill or exposure, see SDS sheet for information. Consult technical data sheet at www.staufusa.com for updated information. |
| Sub floor temperatures between 32 and 50 ?F (0 and 10 ?C) will dramatically increase drying time up to 24 hours. Never install product when sub floor temperature is below freezing or if condensation could occur on the sub floor within 24 hours after application. |
