    LEVELiTe F30 Self Levelling Screed Compound, 20kg

    LEVELiTe F30


    Self Levelling Screed Compound

    LEVELiTe F30 is a high quality self-levelling compound with excellent self-levelling and smoothing properties for preparing screeds prior to the installation of vinyl and wood laminate flooring as well as carpets and other floor covering requiring a smooth, level finish with high traffic carrying requirements.

     

    Surface Preperation


    NOTE: For internal use only due to the inability to control environmental factors such as wind or heat. It
    is recommended that direct to ground sub-floors be protected from rising damp to prevent dimensional
    changes in the floor covering (confirm the maximum permissible moisture content that the floor covering
    or adhesive can tolerate). LEVELiTe® F30 is resistant to rising moisture and should not swell or delaminate
    if exposed to reasonable moisture. Standard European practice has evolved that when vinyl flooring is
    to be installed, the surface bed is to be sealed with an epoxy moisture barrier, or similar. VAPORiTe®
    +PLUS
    epoxy moisture barrier system has been specifically developed for this purpose. Please refer to
    the VAPORiTe®+PLUS data sheet. The surface must be hard, sound, dry and free of dust, dirt and other
    materials such as grease, oil and paint.

    Due to its flow characteristics, sealing strips should be placed at doorways or where the levelling
    compound is not desired.

    Priming


    BONDiTe® primer and bonding agent is an essential component in priming the substrate prior to application
    of LEVELiTe®. It acts as a pore sealer which will maintain the flow life and prevent air bubbles rising
    through the applied LEVELiTe® screed smoothing compound. Accordingly it is necessary to prime all
    surfaces with BONDiTe®. With very smooth non-absorbent sub-floors e.g. power floated floors, epoxy
    coated water barriers, and ceramic tiles it is essential to apply iTe SLURRY® or to lightly grind the surface
    to promote adhesion. When the slurry is dry, the surface should be ready for application of the LEVELiTe®
    F30
    levelling compound.

    Mixing


    Use 5.0 liters of water per 20 kg bag. Do NOT over-water. Add the powder to the required amount of
    clean cool water in a clean mixing container whilst using a +/-600 rpm electric paddle mixed until a lump
    free screed is produced. This will take approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape the inside
    of the mixing vessel to allow any unmixed product to fall onto the paste. Briefly remix the LEVELiTe® F30
    and then discharge onto the affected floor.

    Mixed LEVELiTe® F30 should be applied within 5 minutes at 20˚C. This time is extended at lower
    temperatures and reduced at higher temperatures.

    Thickness


    LEVELiTe® F30 can be applied from 0.3mm thick to a maximum of 15mm, multiple layers should be added, with a coat of BONDiTe® primer between layers. A bulked-up system can also be used, whereby one incorporates an equal volume of 3mm clean, dry fines-free graded gravel to the mix.  Approximately 1.4kg of LEVELiTe® per mm per m² will be required. BONDiTe® must be used as a primer onto the concrete substrate to prevent air bubbles from rising once the LEVELiTe® is applied, to ensure a proper flow of the compound over the substrate and to bind the surface well. BONDiTe® is applied at an average of 4m² per litre.

    LEVELiTE® F30 is available in 20kg bags. BONDiTe® is available in 5 & 25Litre Plastic Containers.

    When applying LEVELiTe® F30 at a thickness of over 15mm, incorporate up to an equal volume of 3 or
    6mm clean, dry, fines free, graded gravel. Alternatively, multiple layers can be applied to the dry previous
    layer. Contact our technical advisors for detailed information. Bulking-up of the product can be a viable
    option for significant sub-floor deviations where speed of drying is a factor.

    Coverage


    Approximately 1.4kg of LEVELiTe® F30 per 1 mm thickness per m². E.g. one 20kg bag of LEVELiTe®F30 will give enough material to cover approximately 4.8m² at an average thickness of 3mm.

    NOTE: The coverage figure is based on a flat level surface. Additional material should be allowed for where
    the surface is rough or uneven.

    General


    All data given was tested at a room temperature of 20˚C and 50% humidity. Please be aware that the
    technical data may alter if the climatic conditions are in contrast to that in which the product has been
    tested, either hardening more quickly or setting slower.

    Warning


    Do not ingest. Keep away from children and pets. Do not empty into a drain. Wear rubber gloves, and in
    the event of contamination, rinse thoroughly with cold water. Seek medical advice if irritation or discomfort
    persists. For further information, consult the relevant health and safety data sheet.

    Important Notice


    The information supplied in our literature or given by our employees is given in good faith. We reserve the
    right to update this information at any time without prior notice.

    Warranty


    LEVELiTe® F30 is guaranteed to be free of any manufacturing defect. iTe PRODUCTS further warrants
    that if LEVELiTe® F30 is applied in accordance with the relevant method statement issued for the specific
    project, by an approved applicator, the system is guaranteed for the life of the floorcovering.

    Application


    Pour the mixed LEVELiTe® F30 onto the prepared sub-floor. The mixed mortar will flow out and self-level.
    Use a suitable notched epoxy rake or spreader to obtain the required thickness; while a long-handled pin
    leveller/rake with height adjustment will simplify this operation and yield more consistent results. A long
    handled spiked roller must be used to prevent air blisters from marring the finished surface. LEVELiTe®
    F30
    has excellent self-healing properties which extend for some 30 minutes or longer after the pour, which
    minimises cold joints and surface irregularities.

    VOC Requirements


    LEVELiTe®F30 contains no Volatile Organic Compounds and therefore is totally compliant with all relevant
    requirements to be classed as “green”. The standard short report, theoretical VOC content declaration and
    VOC confirmation notice is available on request or can be downloaded from our website – www.iteproducts.

    Description


    LEVELiTe® F30 self-levelling floor screed compound is a free flowing self-levelling compound developed
    for heavy commercial and light industrial applications that sets to 25MPa. LEVELiTe® F30 has been
    specifically formulated for levelling and smoothing rough or uneven sub-floors prior to the installation of
    floor coverings and is suitable for use on cementitious screeds, concrete power floated surfaces, hardened
    old adhesive residues and soundly adhered ceramic and similar surfaces. Its high strength formulation has
    been designed to repair a variety of sub-floor types, including cement/sand screeds, and concrete floors.
    The applied compound can be walked on after 2 to 3 hours. Floor coverings – such as carpet, tiles, vinyl
    and engineered wood – can typically be installed 24 hours after application. LEVELiTe® F30 can be applied
    in a feathered finish down to approximately 0,3mm, up to 15mm thick in one application. LEVELiTe® F30 is
    resistant to moisture once cured, and will not swell or delaminate. Final strength is 25MPa. LEVELiTe® F30
    is pumpable.
