DESCRIPTION Penetron Industrial Self-Leveling Topping is a single component, smooth flowing, economic, pumpable, selfleveling, fast-setting, over-layment intended as a restorative wearing surface over distressed, worn or rain damaged, structurally sound concrete. It contains polymer modified Portland cement combined with mineral aggregate to produce fast setting, high-strength characteristics. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS ♦ Aisleways, manufacturing, storage and shipping ♦ Distribution centers and warehouses ♦ Distressed and worn concrete floors ♦ Rain damaged slabs ♦ Parking garage floors ♦ Public utilities ♦ Convention hall floors ♦ Correctional institutions ♦ Showrooms ♦ Floors designed to meet a specific flatnes FEATURES/BENEFITS ♦ Ready to use with addition of water or may be extended with pea gravel ♦ Highly Durable ♦ Economical in-place cost ♦ Highly fluid for pumped or poured application ♦ Crack and shrink resistant ♦ Rapid High-strength gain ♦ Ready for limited foot traffic in four hours ♦ Maintains workability for over 15 minutes ♦ Non-gypsum based ♦ Reduced sound transmission ♦ Moisture resistant PENETRON PRIMER Penetron Self-Leveling Primer is customarily mixed 1:1 with clean water to aid in bonding the Self-Leveling to substrate and to avoid “pinholing” caused by entrapped air in substrate. PREPARATION NOTE: Proper bond, and therefore preparation are crucial in obtaining a successful overlayment installation. The installing contractor is responsible for ensuring substrate is properly prepared prior to application of Penetron Industrial Self-Leveling Topping. It is suggested that a 10’ x 10’ (3 x 3 m) test application be made. Concrete substrate must be cleaned immediately prior to primer and topping application should be free of dust, oil, curing compounds, paints, asphalt, scalers, coatings and/or any other matter that may cause loss of bond.Remove loose, frozen, broken, carbonated concrete. Shotblasting equipment is recommended for achieving mechanical removal of unsound concrete, coatings, curing compounds, sealers, etc. Joins, cracks and drilled or sawed holes should be filled or grouted to prevent seepage of primer and underlayment. Joints in substrate must be reflected (tooled or sawed) in applied topping. SUBSTRATE PRIMING Primer may be applied up to 72 hours before application of topping. Dilute Self-Leveling Primer 1:1 with clean water. Extremely porous concrete may require two coats of primer mixture or one coat of undiluted primer. One gallon of Primer mixed with one gallon of water will cover approximately 350-400 ft² (32.5 - 37.0 m²) of floor area. Using a push broom, apply a thin primer coat and allow to completely dry (at least 3-4 hours @ 70% humidity) prior to application of Penetron Industrial Self-Leveling Topping. MIXING Add topping to water! DO NOT reverse this process by adding water to material. Mix in a mixer/pump, following manufacturer’s instructions, or mechanical concrete mixer. Use precisely 4.5 qts (4.25 liters) of clean water per 50 lb (22.7 kg) bag and mix for 1-2 minutes until mixture is smooth and free of lumps. For small jobs use a stainless steel paddle with a ½” (12 mm) min. 650 rpm drill mixing to a lump free consistency. For applications over 2” (5 cm) in thickness: Extend mixture with precisely 15 lbs (6.8 kg) of clean washed and dry, 3/8” (9 mm) pea gravel per 50 lb (22.7 kg) bag. Important: When extending, mix neat topping as described above. Then, add pea gravel and mix again until smooth and free of lumps. APPLICATION Ensure base slab temperature is over 40°F (4.5°C) and ambient temperature will not be below 50°F (10°C) during placement and/or before underlayment will take final set. Penetron Industrial Self-Leveling Topping flows best if mixing water is approximately 70°F (21°C). Maintain mixing water temperature at 50°F - 90°F (10°C - 32°C). Pour or pump mixed topping to desired thickness, but not less than 1/4” (6 mm). Properly mixed topping will seek its own level within 15 minutes at 65°F (18°C). A hand spreader or concrete come-along may be used to prompt material around pipes and hard to reach areas.♦ DO NOT USE on floors that will be exposed to acids (or their salts) or other materials that may seriously and/or rapidly attack Portland cement.♦ DO NOT permit primed surfaces to become wet unless sealed.♦ During application, protect topping from direct sunlight, wind, rain, snow and other forms of moisture.♦ Consult Penetron when questionable conditions prevail or for additional information. CAUTIONS Risks: ♦ Eye irritant ♦ Skin irritant ♦ Lung irritant ♦ Causes burns ♦ May cause delayed lung injury Avoid contact with eyes. Wear suitable protective eyewear. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wear gloves. Wear suitable protective clothing. Do not breathe dust. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear respiratory equipment. Wash clothing before reuse. First Aid: Wash exposed skin with soap and water. If breathing is difficult, move person to fresh air. Waste Disposal Method: This product, when discarded or disposed of, is not listed as a hazardous waste in federal regulations. Dispose in a landfill in accordance with local regulations.
