Dingo Self Leveling

Dingo Self-Levelling Cement is a cement based, self-levelling underlayment. It is high strength and is designed for levelling internal and external floors. Using clean water Dingo Self-Levelling Cement will reach a very fluid consistency, that will leave the surface level, smooth and hard. For thicker applications, Dingo Self- Levelling Cement can be applied in layers with each layer being no more than 25mm thick.

This product can be used in both domestic and commercial applications and can be used on floors internally and externally. Whilst this product is suitable for use in wet areas. Dingo Self- Levelling Cement can be used prior to installing floor tiles and carpet and is able to be used with tile and contact adhesives. Allow 24 hours before applying a floor covering. Dingo Self-Levelling Cement is not to be used as a final flooring finish.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTION

Substrate preparation

Surfaces must be structurally sound and clean. Ensure the surface is free of all contaminants including dirt, dust, oil, grease, curing compounds, glue, paint, gypsum-based products etc.
Any large cracks and holes should be patched with a suitable concrete repair mortar before using Dingo Self-Levelling Cement.
Construction joints in the sub-floor should be carried through the Self-Levelling Cement to avoid cracking.
All concrete sub-floors must be fully cured and dry.
If the sub-floor has a high moisture content or subject to rising damp, apply an epoxy moisture barrier.
Non-porous surfaces must be primed with an epoxy moisture barrier, or acid etched, or mechanically abraded to ensure the Self-Leveling cement has a rough surface to bond to.
It is essential to prime the surface with a suitable primer before applying Dingo Self-Levelling Cement. This will improve adhesion and greatly reduce pin holing in the finished floor.
Where the temperature is above 28^oC, it is crucial to wet down any concrete slabs with clean water before priming. Before applying the primer, ensure the floor has no pools of water.

Mixing

Dingo Self-Levelling Cement must be mixed using a heavy-duty electric drill and paddle attachment. Do not use a concrete mixer or mix by hand.
Add approximately 4.2L to 4.6L of clean water to a clean bucket and then slowly add the 20kg bag of Dingo Self-Levelling Cement. Less water may be required for colder temperatures.
Mix for at least 2 minutes and continue to mix until you have a smooth, lump free consistency.
Mixing drill should be set to maximum 600rpm.

Note: If foaming and streakiness appear on top of the mixture, Dingo Self-Levelling Cement is over-watered, and should not be placed on the substrate. More powder may be added immediately whilst mixing to achieve proper consistency.

Do not mix more material than can be used in 10 to 15 minutes.

Application

Pour Dingo Self-Levelling Cement on to the primed surface.
Move it into approximate position with a long-handled squeegee and allow the material to find its own level.
Dingo Self-Levelling Cement may be layered up to 25mm. An additional layer may be applied directly over the surface as soon as it will support foot traffic – approximately 4 hours.
When using Dingo Self-Levelling Cement outside, ensure the product is protected from direct sunlight and high winds to prevent the product losing moisture too quickly.
Dingo Self-Levelling Cement should not be overwatered, over-mixed or remixed with additional water. Any material over 20 minutes old should not be used and should be disposed of.
Do not use Dingo Self-Levelling Cement over a slab with a high moisture content or that is subject to rising damp unless a suitable epoxy barrier is used prior.

Estimated Coverage

20kg bag of Dingo Self-Levelling Cement will yield approximately 0.01m³ and cover approximately:
5m² at 2mm thickness.
33m² at 3mm thickness.
Can be applied from 2mm to 25mm thickness.

Curing time before using

Allow 4 hours setting time before walking on cement.
Dingo Self-Levelling Cement must cure 24 hours before any floor coverings are installed.

Limitations

A test should be performed in all cases to ensure suitability of this product.
