The product is intended for indoor use to create a new durable, flat and smooth surface on substrates of concrete, lightweight concrete, stone, ceramic tiles, gypsum boards, quarry tiles, cement or epoxy-based terrazzo, wood and well bonded VCT or VAT. When applied on wood subfloor, reinforcement mesh must be used. CM 780 Fiber Basic is specially designed for thicker instal- lations. The product is intended to be covered with a top layer, e.g. tiles, carpets or similar. The CM 780 Fiber Basic can be covered with most floor coverings after 1–3 days depending on the installation thickness. Pre-treatment The substrate should be clean and free of dust, cement skin, grease and other impurities that can prevent adhesion. Adhesion and surface resistance of the substrate should be no less than 72 psi. Always prime the substrate with PP 600 and allow to dry before pouring (see PP 600 datasheet for proper dilution and installation directions). In terms of the primer forming a film, the temperature of the substrate must not be below 50 °F. For best results, the ambient tempe- rature in the work area should be between 50 and 77 °F. At higher or lower temperatures, the time for curing will shorten or extend. Protect the product from excessive heat, excessive cold and draft conditions during and after the installation. It is recommended that the installation should be done with a proper air ventilation from an HVAC system. With the risk for cracks due to shrinkage or settings in the subfloor, a concrete surface should not be leveled within the first 28 days after casting. As a recommendation the RH in the concrete should have reached RH 90 % as the upper limit for pouring the CM 780. Use the Combimix form foam for edging. In order to avoid drainage pipes from getting clogged, always make sure the drains are properly sealed before pouring. Mixing Mix the dry powder with max 3.6 qt (3.8 L) of water, max 18 %, per 44 lb (20 kg) bag. Manual mix: Mix with a heavy duty ½” (13 mm), 650 rpm minimum drill and a whisk to obtain a lump free consistency. Mixing pump: Mixing pump intended for this purpose. Start pump at minimum of 125 gallons of water per hour and adjust as necessary to yield a self-leveling consistency. Please note that the production capacity and speed of the pump will dictate the gallons of water ratio per hour. The Combimix slump test must always be carried out to ensure the product performance and that the mixture is homogenized and free from separation. The correct water mixture can be tested using a slump test with a cylinder with Ø 1.18” and a height of 1.97” (Ø 30 mm and a height of 50 mm) on 11.8” x 11.8” (300 x 300 mm) plexiglas plate. With the correct water mixture, the spread should be max 5 5/16” (135 mm) for application thickness 1/4”–4” (6–102 mm) . The slump test also checks that the material is well blended and that there is no separation. Application The mixed material is applied by hand, or pumped onto the substrate in lengths. Each new rib- bon is added to the old one as soon as possible so that the material can blend together and create an even surface. The width of the ribbons can be adjusted to the capacity of the mixing pump and the thickness of the covering. The material requires a light treatment with a toothed trowel to provide maximum smoothness. Working time of the product is apx. 10 to 25 minutes. Application thickness 1/4”–4” (6–102 mm). Post-treatment and curing You can easily shape or cut the semi-hardened self-leveling underlayment material before it fully dries. Protect the surface for up to 24 hours after installation. Material can be walked on after 1–3 hours. Combimix recommends that no sweeping compounds be used on products after instal- lation is complete. A simple dilution rate of 1:5 primer PP 600 and water can be used to minimize dust if necessary. Apply it with a high pressure pump type sprayer. Always make sure that the material is sufficiently dry before it will be covered. The guided time for dehydration down to RH 85 % of the product is 0.39” (10 mm) per week. The guiding value assumes a curing temperature of approximately 68 °F, 40 % RH and proper air flow. NOTES: This product is not intended to be used as a wear surface.
