An easy to use floor levelling compound – just add water in correct quantity as directed, mixing with a suitable Mixing Paddle and Drill for a minimum of 2 minutes
Setcrete Latex is self-smoothing and can be applied at thicknesses between 2-10mm
Drying is dependent upon the absorbency of the sub floor, ambient temperature, and humidity. However, after 2 hours it should be hard enough for you to walk on
Before applying a floor covering, Setcrete Latex should be left uncovered for 24 hours when applied at 2-5mm thickness. For more than 5mm it should be left for 48 hours
Setcrete Latex is suitable to use over a wide range of absorbent sub floors which should first be coated with Setcrete Acrylic Primer diluted in a ratio of 1-part primer to 4 parts water.
For non-absorbent sub floors, the surface should first be primed with un-diluted Setcrete Acrylic Primer to promote adhesion
The working time for use is approximately 15 - 20 minutes at 20C, depending upon the sub floor absorbency, ambient temperature, and humidity. Do not mix more than one bag at a time
I bought this to level my ensuite's concrete floor and was very pleased with the outcome. You'll need a dedicated mixer when you're knocking up a full batch, as wasting your time mixing means a less effective pour and levelling process. You can also skip the recommended Setcrete primer and use SBR instead, diluted 1:3 it will do the job for you and save some pennies.

Do the mix with 4ltrs of water as instructed. Mixes ok but flow and leveling I personally found poor.
Mapei latex level I found to be better.
Sika®-1 Waterproofer is an aqueous solution containing complex colloidal silicates. In the presence of water these swell and block the capillaries and pores in the applied sand/cement renders, screeds and mortar to provide an effective barrier against the transmission of liquid water.
Sika®-2 Water Plug is a ready to use very rapid setting leak stopping liquid which is mixed with ordinary portland cement to produce a paste for immediate leak sealing against high water pressure infiltration.
Drybase Tanking Slurry is a cementitious, ready-mixed surface waterproofer. The waterproofing function is achieved by a unique composition of cement, graded quartz sand and selected additives. It can be used against active and passive water pressures. The initial and final bonding capability of Drybase Tanking Slurry is excellent, making it suitable to be applied to horizontal as well as vertical surfaces. It is durable, resistant to frost and heat after setting, but also permeable to vapour. Drybase Tanking Slurry is tested for use in contact with drinking water.

Sika Wintermix Admixture is an air entraining, chloride free, liquid admixture for mortar and concrete which also acts as an accelerator for work in sub - zero temperatures, with increased frost resistance during setting. Sika Wintermix improves workability, even in cold weather as well as freeze/thaw resistance in bricklaying mortars, thus eliminating the need for a separate frost proofer. Sika Wintermix can be used as an air entraining, water reducing, admixture and accelerator/frost proofer for brick and block laying mortar, render (internal and external) and concrete Sika Wintermix is also suitable for load bearing brickwork, block laying, external and internal rendering, pointing/repointing brickwork and floor screeds. Due to the embedded metal, Sika Wintermix is non-corrosive to embedded metal and can also replace Lime in the mix, reducing the possibility of lime bloom and efflorescence. Sika Wintermix also benefits from reduced shrinkage, with in turn reduces cracking and crazing.
