INSTALLATIONS

Surface Preparation

Refer to TDS 1230 Substrate Preparation and Primer Guide for more detailed
substrate preparation instructions.
All concrete surfaces must achieve an ICRI CSP Profile of 3 – 5.
Clean substrate to eliminate dust, dirt, oil, grease, paint or any contaminants which
may inhibit bonding. Do not use chemicals to clean substrate. Remove any loose
particles by vacuuming and damp sponging.
Inspect for contraction joints, construction joints and cracks in the substrate which may be subject to movement after installation of a LATICRETE self-leveling underlayment. These must be maintained as joints through the LATICRETE self-leveling underlayment.
For exterior glue plywood substrates use 3.2# galvanized diamond metal lath.
Maintain substrate temperature between 4 – 32°C and air temperature between 10 – 32°C during installation and throughout drying. Provide adequate ventilation to ensure uniform drying.
LATICRETE Underlayment’s shall be installed over PRIMER once cured, typically, 3 to 5 hours after application depending on ambient and substrate conditions. Refer to
TDS 1230 Substrate Preparation and Primer Guide.

Mixing

PRIMER is a concentrate and must be diluted with clean potable water. Dilution ratio varies depending on the substrate. Mix/stir concentrate thoroughly prior to diluting
