Surface Preperation
NOTE: For internal use only due to the difficulty of controlling the elements such as temperature and air
movement. It is recommended that direct to ground sub-floors be protected from rising damp to prevent
dimensional changes in the floor covering or epoxy coating (confirm the maximum permissible moisture
content that the floor covering or adhesive can tolerate). LEVELiTe® F50 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 substrate is to be sealed with an epoxy moisture barrier, or
similar. VAPORiTe +PLUS® epoxy moisture barrier system has been specifically developed for this purpose.
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 strip should be placed at doorways or where the levelling compound
is not desired.
Priming
BONDiTe® primer and bonding agent is an essential component in the application of LEVELiTe®. It
acts as a pore sealer which will maintain the flow life and prevent air bubbles rising through the applied
LEVELiTe®F50 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®. See the technical data sheet for VAPORiTe®
+PLUS . When the iTe SLURRY® is dry, the application of the LEVELiTe® can proceed.
Mixing
Use 5.0 liters of water per 20.5 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® F50
and then discharge onto the affected floor.
Mixed LEVELiTe® F50 should be applied within 5 minutes at 20˚C. This time is extended at lower
temperatures and reduced at higher temperatures.
Thickness
LEVELiTe® F50 can be applied at a minimum thickness of 0.4mm to a maximum of 15mm in a single
application.
When applying LEVELiTe® F50 at a thickness of over 15mm, it is recommended to apply multiple layers,
with a coat of BONDiTe® between each layer. If desired, incorporate up to an equal volume of 3mm clean,
dry, fines free, graded gravel to achieve a bulked up system. Alternatively, multiple layers can be applied to
the dry previous layer. Contact our technical advisors for detailed information.
Coverage
Approximately 1.6 kg of LEVELiTe® F50 per mm per m². E.g. one 20.5kg bag of LEVELiTe® F50 will give
enough material to cover approximately 4.3m² 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

of our product, however we have no control over site conditions or execution of the work, we accept no

Application
Pour the mixed LEVELiTe® F50 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 longhandled
spiked roller should be used to prevent air blister from marring the finished surface.
Description
LEVELiTe® F50 self-levelling floor screed compound is a free flowing self-levelling compound that has
been specifically formulated for levelling and smoothing rough or uneven sub-floors prior to the application
of epoxy floor coatings or industrial flooring. Its rapid set, 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 epoxy coatings, tiles, vinyl and
rubber – can typically be installed 24 hours after application. LEVELiTe® F50 can be feathered down to
approximately 0,5mm and is resistant to moisture once cured, and will not swell or delaminate.
LEVELiTe® F50 sets to an initial 28MPa after 24 hours and achieves a final setting strength of >35MPa after
28 days.
