Application

Surface Preparation:

  • Surface preparation should follow ACI standards, removing all contaminants and achieving a minimum CSP #4 profile, with shot blasting preferred.
  • Prime surfaces withSpecPoxy 1000for optimal adhesion, broadcasting dry sand onto the wet epoxy to refusal before applying SpecLevel PCT.
  • Mix SpecLevel PCT with water (7 pints per 50 lb bag for standard flow) using a low-speed drill or helix mixer, adjusting water amount for desired consistency.
  • For extended applications, incorporate 15 pounds of clean 3/8” pea gravel per 50 pounds of SpecLevel PCT during the final minute of mixing.

Installation:

  • Spread SpecLevel PCT over the substrate using a long-handled spreader or gauge rake. The product is also suitable for pump applications, offering a self-leveling property that requires no troweling.
  • It can be extended with pea gravel for deeper applications, ensuring versatility across a range of project requirements.
  • SpecLevel PCT will self-level within 20 minutes at 70°F, and can support foot traffic in 24 hours, dependent on site-specific conditions.

Shelf Life

Unopened bags have a shelf life of 12 months when stored properly in a cool, dry area.
