Flooring Prep - Surface Prep
LiquiTek™ is an advanced, fiber-reinforced, hybrid, self-smoothing and self-leveling underlayment used to resurface dry, interior, or distressed substrates when shotblasting or diamond grinding is not possible. It can be applied over gypsum underlayment, lightweight concrete, mud beds, structurally sound wood, asphalt, certain well-bonded floor coverings, cutback residue (no film), and other non-water-soluble adhesives with minimal surface preparation. The unique fiber-reinforced, gypsum/cement hybrid formulation of LiquiTek combines a super-smooth surface with extremely fast hydration, allowing non-moisture sensitive installations of resilient and wood flooring in as little as 16 hrs. (See Self-Smoothing, Self-Leveling & Drying.) LiquiTek is 3500 psi in only 4 hours and 7500 psi at 28 days.
The Self-smoothing application of LiquiTek demonstrates increased fluidity, surpassing traditional self-leveling counterparts by up to 50%. This attribute yields an exceptionally uniform surface, exceptionally beneficial for sensitive floor coverings. This technology is faster and more economical than conventional self-leveling applications and hand patching methods.
Application:
- Ideal for bucket or barrel mixing
- Extreme working time (up to 30 min.)
- Very versatile, can be used for self-smoothing or self-leveling applications
- May contribute points to LEED® projects
