Highlights |
N/A
Contractors choose TRU® Self-Leveling for their Topping. Resurfacing, and Underlayment flooring needs. |
Applications |
N/A Use TRU® when a high quality and fast topping, resurfacer or underlayment is required. TRU® is ideal for projects that need long flow life and working time while achieving high early strength. TRU® cures to a light off-white color, ideal for floors that are stained, integrally colored, and with decorative embedded aggregate flooring It also grinds and polishes exceedingly well, making it ideal for polished decorative floors. |
Environmental Advantages |
N/A TRU® is formulated with Rapid Set® cement. Rapid Set® has a much smaller carbon footprint than portland cement. This means that in its manufacturing process, with normal cement plant production equipment, it generates far less carbon dioxide (CO2) than portland cement emits during its production process. |
Surface Preparation |
N/A Substrate must be clean, sound, and free of oil, curing compound, dust, mastic and other bond-breakers. Surface shall be prepared to a minimum profile of ICRI CSP 3. Mechanical methods of surface preparation such as shotblasting, are preferred. Acid etching the substrate is not recommended. Surface must be dry. have a minimum temperature of 50 ºF (10 ºC) and be properly primed. |
Prime |
N/A When placing TRU® as a decorative topping. Rapid Set® TXP™ Epoxy Primer with sand broadcast to refusal is the preferred method of priming. When TRU® is not being placed as a finished floor, Rapid Set® Acrylic Primer may be applied to the prepared concrete substrate. Follow all product specifications. |
Mixing |
N/A Add one bag of TRU® to 4.5 quarts (4.3 L) of potable water. Mix 3-5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and lump free. Avoid mixers that entrap large amounts of air. Mixed TRU® should be used within 30 minutes at 70 ºF (21 ºC). Maintain material temperature above 50 ºF (10 ºC). |
Placement |
N/A Arrange work area to permit continuous placement without cold joints. Pour or pump the TRU® onto the prepared and primed substrate with a minimum thickness of 1/8" (3.2 mm) over the highest point. TRU® will flow and level out within its 15 minute flow life. Use a gauge rake, spreader or other tools to coax the material into place as required. Use a porcupine-type roller to remove any entrapped air. For thicknesses greater than 1.5", (38 mm), extend each 50 lb (22.7 kg) bag of TRU® with 25 lb (11.3 kg) of clean, dry 3/8" (9.5 mm) pea gravel. |
Cure |
N/A
No wet curing is required under normal conditions at 70 ºF (21 ºC). If used in exterior applications, apply a fine water mist to the newly hardened surface of TRU® as soon as it can be done without marring the surface, and continue until one hour after final set. Avoid excessively dry, windy, hot or sunny conditions.
Adhesives, thin set or water based sealers can be applied after 6 hours. If used as a topping that will receive traffic, a solvent-based sealer or epoxy can be applied per the manufacturer's recommendations after 12 hours. |
Coverage & Packaging |
N/A TRU® is available in 50 lb (22.7 kg) polyethylene-lined bags. Yield is 0.45 ft³ per 50 lb (22.7 kg) bag. Coverage is 22 - 24 ft² (2.04 m² - 2.23 m²) at 1/4" (6.4 mm) thickness and 11-12 ft² (1.02 m² - 1.11 m²) at 1/2" (12.7 mm) thickness for flat surfaces. |
