Features & Benefits

   
• Latexplan Trade is a two-part smoothing compound that consists of a grey powder (part A) containing special cements, graded silica sands and additives to be mixed with a synthetic rubber latex (part B)
• Can be walked on after approximately 1 - 2 hours and is ready for installing flooring after about 12 hours, depending on the thickness and the ambient temperature
• Very low odour and this makes it suitable for use in confined and inhabited areas, where working and/or occupation must be maintained
• Suitable for use under a damp proof membrane such as Mapeproof ESM, where residual or static moisture is present
• For the best results, Latexplan Trade should be mixed without extra latex or water being added

Application

Preparation of the substrate:

• The substrate must be clean, structurally sound, free from grease, oil, paint and plaster residues, surface laitance and contamination, including surface hardeners and additives that may compromise the bond

Application of the primer:

• On highly porous and absorbent surfaces, a coat of primer prior to the application will prevent pinholes / air bubbles within the surface, providing a smooth even finish
• Eco Prim T Plus acrylic primer may be used on all absorbent and non-absorbent substrates
• On difficult and nonabsorbent surfaces the use of Eco Prim Grip Plus primer will ensure perfect bonding
• Do not prime when Latexplan Trade is to be used beneath a surface membrane such as Mapeproof ESM

Mixing: 

• Mix 25 kg of Latexplan Trade part A powder into 5 kg of Latexplan Trade part B liquid
• The Latexplan Trade part B liquid container should be shaken, poured into a clean mixing container and the Latexplan Trade part A powder added gradually whilst continually stirring with a mixing paddle and slow speed drill
• The mixed mortar has a workability time of approx. 20 - 30 minutes at +23ºC
• Do not add more liquid or water to the mix once it has begun to set

Application of the product:

• The mixed material is poured onto the prepared substrate and spread with a smooth edged trowel to the required thickness in one operation
• Additionally the use of a spiked roller will ensure a smooth even finish that will not require any further attention prior to the floorcovering being installed
• The correct mix permits any application from featheredge to 10mm, although for the best results a minimum 3mm application is recommended
• Apply at a minimum floor temperature above +5ºC

Drying: 

• At normal temperatures Latexplan Trade will take light foot traffic after 1ó to 2 hours, and accept bonded floor coverings after 12 hours
• A room temperature of +13°C - +18°C should be maintained with a substrate temperature of at least +5ºC (good ventilation will considerably assist drying times, but avoid strong draughts)

Cleaning tools:

• All tools and mixing containers should be washed and cleaned immediately after use before the material hardens

Storage & Safety Instructions

• Part A has a storage life of approximately 12 months if stored in dry conditions
• Part B has a storage life of approximately 24 months if stored in dry conditions and protected from frost
• Instructions for the safe use of our products can be found on the latest version of the Safety Data Sheet (see 'Data Sheets' section above)
