F10

All substrates must be dry, stable, and structurally sound. If necessary, mechanically clean the substrate by polishing or other methods until a solid and firm substrate is obtained. Mechanically clean any substance that could interfere with the adhesion of the mortar (e.g., grease, oil, wax, dust, plaster, paint, etc.).

Test the porosity using a water droplet test. Sprinkle water on the surface; if the water forms droplets without being absorbed within 2 minutes, the surface is not porous and is probably contaminated. Such contaminants must be removed and the surface must be worn down using a mechanical method such as scarification or mechanical grinding.

Print the surface with the T-CON line adhesion promoter appropriate for the surface to be coated. The temperature at the time of installation must be at least 10°C.

Both on porous substrates where aesthetics are important (commercial premises, hotels, homes, etc.) and on all non-porous substrates, apply Primer EPX T-CON according to the corresponding technical data sheet.

In areas where aesthetics are not as important and the substrate is porous (warehouses, mechanical workshops, etc.), apply Primer P10 T-CON according to the corresponding technical data sheet. If used for the Self-Leveling Polished Cement System, it is recommended to always use Primer EPX T-CON.

If you have any questions, please contact the T-CON technical department or your assigned representative.

F10 T-CON Self-Leveling Mortar should not be installed over moving joints or cracks. These must be respected, down to the base and floor (existing expansion, insulation, and construction).

It should be noted that, as it is a surface finish, it cannot prevent structural movements, which may cause reflective cracks. Among the areas most prone to crack transmission are areas with vibration in a concrete slab due to truck or heavy transport traffic, apartment buildings that move in the wind, existing cracks in the floor, control joints or closed joints, expansion joints, protrusions from different substrates, and small cracks that form in the corners of metal applications such as electrical boxes.

Although priming with Primer EPX T-CON is the best way to minimize the possibility of reflective cracks, these can be transmitted to the surface if structural movement is significant.

It is recommended to mix 2 bags of F10 T-CON self-leveling mortar in each preparation.

First add the water and then the powder. It is recommended to do this in a well-ventilated area and to wear a dust mask. Use a mixer or heavy-duty drill (½” (12 mm, min. 650 rpm)) to mix each 50 pound bag of F10 T-CON Self-Leveling Mortar with 4.75-5 liters of water (9.5-10 liters for 2 bags of 50 pound).

Mix for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is lump-free. If a yellowish foam appears when mixing or the sand settles, this indicates that there is excess water. Once poured onto the floor, T-CON F10 self-leveling mortar allows a working time of 20 minutes at 23°C.

Pour the mixture onto the floor and spread it with the leveling tool. Immediately afterwards, smooth the material with the recommended metal trowel or spiked roller. Wear spiked shoes or cleats to avoid leaving permanent marks in the mortar liquid.
