ARDEX SD-P® LT Self-Drying, Trowelable Low Tension Concrete Underlayment is formulated with ARDEX REVOCem technology along with a special blend of Portland cement, and other hydraulic cements and polymers. It is a self-drying, fast setting, trowelable patch for smoothing and repairing concrete, wood and gypsum-based floors, ramps and stairways, as well as non-porous substrates such as terrazzo, ceramic and quarry tile, prior to the installation of new floor covering.
Key Features
- A blend of Portland cement and other hydraulic cements
- Provides a smooth surface over a variety of substrates including concrete, wood and gypsum
- Ideal for ramping, patching large areas and screeding
- Fluid consistency for ease of application
- Install floor coverings in as little as 90 minutes
- Install neat up to 1” (25.4 mm) and up to 3” (7.6 cm) with aggregate
- Easy to mix with water only
- No primer required over concrete
- Exceptional bond strength
- Interior use only
- Compressive strength of 4,500 psi
