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.
