Safety:

IMPORTANT: before embarking on any work involving ROXOL TRAVAUX RAPIDES the separate Product Safety Data Sheet must be studied carefully by those carrying out the work. Do not breath dust, PREVENT skin and eye contact with powder and particularly the wet material when mixed. Strong alkali when wet – can cause serious eye damage and may cause an allergic reaction resulting in skin disorders.

Shelf life:

Up to 6 months in dry conditions.

Application

PREPARATION
Subfloors must be sound, of adequate tensile and compressive strength; free from laitance, cracks and structural defects; clean and free from dust, grease, curing compounds, sealers or any other contaminants that would inhibit proper bond.
 
Substrate residual moisture content must be less than 3%.
For anhydrite slabs, moisture content should be less than 1% for laying textile coverings and ceramic tiles, 0.5% for laying plastic coverings and parquet floors.
 
All major holes must be filled with ROXOL RENO QUICK.
 
New asphalt screeds should be shot-blasted first.
 
Adhesive residues that are hard, sound and water-tight should be mechanically cut-back to a minimum. Soft and weak adhesive residues and smoothing underlayments should be completely removed.
 
Other substrates require application of specific primers.

Underfloor heating
Underfloor heating systems must comply with current building regulations. In all cases drying time must be respected. Turn off the heating 48 hours before starting the work. The heating should be turned up to its operating temperatures gradually, in stages over 48 hours after laying the floor covering. Do not apply when underfloor heating is in operation.
 
  
The following substrates must be pre-treated with suitable Bostik primers and bonding agents:

PRECAUTION: Before using primer read the primer data sheet carefully and respect our recommendations for ground preparation.
Before proceeding with the subsequent application of the compound, always allow primers to dry in accordance with the technical information. Always allow at least 24 hours drying time for anhydrite screeds.

MANUAL APPLICATION
Pour approx. 6 litres of clean water (water temperature +8°C to + 20°C) into a clean mixing bucket. Stir the compound powder into water with an electric drill and mixing paddle (<500 rpm) to obtain a lump-free mixture.
After mixing, a maturing time of at least 1 minute  is recommended to optimise flow. Remix for 30 seconds. 
The smoothing and levelling compound must be applied to the substrate within the specified working time and smoothed with a stainless steel float. Spread the compound to zero in order to fill the pores, then smooth and spread in a regular manner to the desired thickness.
 
MECHANICAL PREPARATION (PUMPABLE)
ROXOL TRAVAUX RAPIDES can be mixed using a continuous "mixing-pump". In this case the optimum water content is regulated on the basis of product viscosity. This one must be equal to the viscosity obtained by standard mixing of 1 bag in 6 litres of water. (See the technical guidance / procedure relative to the technical system for preparing interior floors for the application of thin floor coverings).
Once mixed, ROXOL TRAVAUX RAPIDES is pumped and applied to the desired thickness (10 mm maximum in one single continuous coat).
Hint: For thicker layers, using a spiked roller will help air evacuation and improve surface finish.
For all additional information, please contact our technical department.
Protect from excessively rapid drying, e.g. due to direct sunlight, draught or high room temperature. Conversely, poor airflow and low temperatures will significantly increase drying times. Do not lay floor coverings until the compound is completely dry.
 
REMARKS
Do not use ROXOL TRAVAUX RAPIDES:
-  on brittle, soft or permanently humid substrates.
-  on old floor coverings (special cases: consult us).
-  do not add water to the compound after it has started to set.
-  do not use on substrates subject to rising damp.
-  do not apply directly on metal substrates.
