Description
Kelmore LevelMore Rapid 30 Levelling Compound is an ultra-rapid setting, flexible, levelling and smoothing compound which can be applied from 2mm to 30mm in a single application. Suitable for use on a wide range of subfloors, this compound’s ultra-rapid setting and drying properties makes it an excellent choice for time sensitive projects. Providing superb flowing capabilities and dimensional stability, Kelmore LevelMore Rapid 30 Levelling Compound sets with an outstanding surface finish and can be walked on after just 30 minutes. Resilient floor coverings can be fitted after 90 minutes and porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tiles can be fixed after just 45 minutes.
Kelmore LevelMore Rapid 30 Levelling Compound has been manufactured to the highest of standards using unique technologies, extensive knowledge and outstanding raw materials. When compared to the production of traditional cementitious flooring compounds, this results in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.
Suitable for use on:
- Cement:Sand Screed (including heated ones), Concrete, Plywood Overlay (class 3) and Tile Backer Boards (on solid bases), after priming with one coat of Kelmore PrimeMore Universal Primer diluted 1:3 with water. Depending on the porosity of the background, additional coats may be required.
- Flooring Grade Asphalt, Epoxy DPM, Existing Ceramic, Porcelain, and Natural Stone Tiles (on solid bases) after priming with one neat, undiluted coat of Kelmore PrimeMore Grip Primer.
- Calcium Sulphate/Anhydrite Screed (inc. Heated), after priming with one neat, undiluted coat of Kelmore PrimeMore CS Primer.
Kelmore LevelMore Rapid 30 Levelling Compound can be used to encapsulate electric underfloor heating cables. Before the cables or mats are adhered to the floor, ensure that the background has been prepared. Where resilient floor coverings are to be fitted, Kelmore LevelMore Rapid 30 Levelling Compound must be applied at a thickness as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure the floor covering does not suffer heat damage.
After completing installations on backgrounds incorporating underfloor heating, the heating system should not be run for 10 days. Following this period, the floor temperature must be gradually raised to its optimal operating temperature.
Where possible, Kelmore LevelMore Rapid 30 Levelling Compound should be applied at the desired thickness in a single application. If additional coats are required, allow the previous coat to completely dry before priming with Kelmore PrimeMore Universal Primer diluted 1:3 by volume with clean water. Additional coats must not exceed the thickness of the previous coat.
Kelmore LevelMore Rapid 30 Levelling Compound is protein free, making it suitable for use in biologically sensitive areas.
Mixing:
A 20kg bag of Kelmore LevelMore Rapid 30 Levelling Compound must be mixed with 4.5 to 5.0 litres of clean, cold water. Within this range, the performance of the product is maintained whilst still offering the flexibility to adjust the water to obtain a desired consistency and flow. Do not exceed 5 litres of water per 20kg of Kelmore LevelMore Rapid 30 Levelling Compound.
Pour the measured water into a clean bucket. Gradually add the powder whilst mixing thoroughly with an electric paddle mixer until a smooth, lump-free consistency is achieved. The compound is ready for use immediately after mixing.
Application:
Kelmore LevelMore Rapid 30 Levelling Compound can be applied at a thickness of 2mm to 30mm in a single application. Pour the mixed compound onto the prepared floor before using a trowel or rake to regulate the thickness and guide the product into the desired areas. Whilst the product is still wet, the use of a *spiked roller can further enhance the surface finish by removing any trapped air. *The use of a spiked roller is only recommended when the product has been applied at a thickness that will allow the roller to freely roll through the compound.
Drying:
Drying times will vary dependent on the porosity of the background, ambient temperature and humidity. When tested to the industry standard temperature of 20°C, Kelmore LevelMore Rapid 30 Levelling Compound can be walked on after 30 minutes. Resilient floor coverings can be fitted after 90 minutes and porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tiles can be fixed after 45 minutes. Please be aware that higher temperatures and low humidity will shorten the drying time and lower temperatures and high humidity will extend the drying time.
Coverage:
Coverage will vary dependent on the texture of the background and the application thickness of the product. As a guide, a 20kg bag of Kelmore LevelMore Rapid 30 Levelling Compound mixed with 5 litres of water will provide the following approximate coverage:
Application Thickness:Approximate Coverage
2mm:6.3m²
3mm:4.2m²
5mm:2.5m²
10mm:1.26m²
20mm:0.63m²
30mm:0.42m²
