Underlayment is a Floors Foundation:
Refer to flooring
manufacturer’s specific recommendations. Condition the area to be installed,
adhesive, underlayment and flooring at 65°F (18°C) or above for 48 hours
before, during and 48 hours after installation. Maximum temperature for use is
90°F (32°C). Floor must be sound, smooth, dry, clean and free of excessive
moisture or alkali. Remove dirt, wax, polish, paint and all other foreign matter
that would interfere with a good bond such as curing agents and sealers.
- Slightly dampen
concrete substrates with clean water and apply underlayment while damp. Do
not leave standing water.
- For a superior bond,
Floor Primer and Latex Liquid Additive.
- Mix powder into water
slowly and carefully to the proper consistency.
- Can be applied in one
layer featheredge to 1/2" thick or two layers to a maximum thickness of
1".
- Mix approximately 25
lbs of powder to 2-1/2 quarts of water.
- Mixing containers must
be clean as unused material will contaminate newly mixed underlayment.
- Do not add additional
water after the proper consistency has been reached. If underlayment starts
to set before using, discard and do not attempt to remix.
- Scratch or trowel to
the substrate to be certain it wets properly and thus assures good adhesion.
- Start finishing
immediately using a steel trowel.
- Do not over-trowel or
re-trowel.
- Clean tools with water
frequently and dip trowel in water often to make finishing easier.
- All finishing must be
done within 20 to 30 minutes. Allow to dry 1 to 3 hours before installing
floor covering.
- Most adhesives will
exhibit shorter working times when used over patch.

Concrete Repair
Finished Patch |
Trowel able patch for smoothing
and repairing floors. Developed to reduce curing time on
pressed-for-time jobs.
Product
Capabilities:
For smoothing and repairing of concrete floors, ramps, stairways, as
well as non-porous substrates such as terrazzo, ceramic & quarry
tile prior to the installation of floor covering. When installation
over standard absorbent concrete, no priming is required.
ARDEX SD-P sets quickly so that a
smooth, steel-troweled surface can be obtained readily. The finished
surface hardens rapidly permitting the installation of most common
floor coverings to proceed immediately - no additional drying time
is required. Using advanced Portland cement chemistry with a
self-drying matrix, ARDEX SD-P is ideal for patching and reaches a
compressive strength of 4,200 psi.
Benefits:
- No primer required over standard
absorbent concrete.
- Finish flooring can be installed
in less than one hour.
- Install from a featheredge up to
1/4" over large areas.
- For moderate size areas, install
from a featheredge up to 1" without the addition of
aggregates.
- All flooring adhesives which are
compatible with concrete are compatible with ARDEX SD-P.
