1、Cutting Edge Solutions Using Advanced Self Leveling Materials ICRI National ConventionApril 14,2010,2,Presentation Objectives,Examine what constitutes the highest performing,advanced,self leveling underlayments,toppings and ancillary productsExplain how the composition of these materials benefits ph
2、ysical properties Discuss standard and specialty applicationsDescribe how flooring problems with demanding functional or aesthetic considerations can be solved with state of the art materials and placement techniques,The advent of self leveling materials that are more advanced than gypsum or even po
3、rtland cement has led to quicker,more durable and more creative flooring repairs and solutions than were previously possible.,What Makes an Advanced Self Leveling Material,Calcium Aluminate Cement Highly Polymer ModifiedNon Shrink FormulationContains No GypsumAdmixtures and aggregates selected to ma
4、ximize performance for the intended use,Why Calcium Aluminate Cement,AdvantagesRapid strength gain compared to portlandHigh BondLower alkalinityDimensionally stableHigh StrengthLow permeability,ApplicationsSelf leveling underlayments and toppingsRapid turnaround concrete repair materials for DOT and
5、 industrial applicationsRefractories and high temperature repairs,Beyond the Cement,Like concrete or mortar,Self Leveling Underlayments and Toppings depend on more than just the type of cement for their properties.It is not enough to merely have an arbitrary amount of CAC in the mix to get excellent
6、 results in demanding applications.These products are complex formulations consisting of many components that control their strength,bond,flow,working time,dimensional stability,surface integrity,environmental friendliness,and compatibility with different substrates and final flooring,Properties of
7、High Performance Self Leveling,High Bond Lower surface preparationMay not require mechanical abrasion and profiling of concrete substrate,Properties of High Performance SL,Rapid Strength Gain and ability to accept final flooring quicklyOver 1500 psi in 4 hoursPlace ceramic tile in 3 hours,or VCT and
8、 wood in 16 hoursNonshrink:Dimensionally stable no pulling on edges of substrateLower incidence of cracking,Properties of High Performance SL,High Strength Over 5000 psiHigh Durability Underlayments that can withstand construction traffic,allowing placement anytime during the construction cycleToppi
9、ng surfaces stronger than concrete,Properties of High Performance SL,Lower Alkaline(pH)systemsAct as alkali barriers up to 90%RHProtect adhesives from alkali breakdownContribute to indoor air quality,Properties of High Performance SL,Long working timeLonger healing timeIncreased production ratesHigh
10、 FlowDiscourages the need to overwaterMaterial lays out flatter and more level,Specialty High Performance SL,Prepackaged,single component,Lightweight materials the density of standard self leveling,less than the density of concreteHigh Strength,high durability,does not require a capping materialDeep
11、 Pour MaterialsCan be placed 3”or more without the addition of aggregate,Ancillary Products for a Successful ApplicationPrimers,Primers serve 2 purposes:Enhance bond between the self leveling material and the substratePrevent pinholing from substrate outgassingTodays most advanced primers are single
12、 component,low VOC liquids that allow the placement of self leveling over non porous surfaces such as power trowelled concrete or even metal,14,1-Comp.Primer,Application of Primer,Ancillary Products for a Successful Application,Crack suppression/isolation systemsPrevent the passage of cracks from th
13、e substrate to the self leveling materialThey can be in the form of:Open faced special mesh that is embedded in an adhesive medium,or a highly polymer modified repair materialPeel and stick membranes utilizing advanced adhesive technology,Embedded Mesh Self Adhering Membrane,Ancillary Products for a
14、 Successful Application,Moisture Vapor Reduction systemsReduce the amount of moisture passing from the substrate to the self leveling.Typically self leveling can withstand much more moisture than the adhesives and non breathable flooring placed over it.Reduce the amount of pressure the vapor exertsD
15、ifferent MVRs for different moisture conditions,ranging from active water channels such as slab on grade,to water of convenience trapped in an elevated slab.Todays advanced self leveling compounds can protect adhesives up to 90%RH without the use of MVRs,Self Leveling Topping 48 hour Turnaround of S
