Determine moisture content of the slab/screed. The relative humidity (RH) must not exceed 98%. |
|
The surface must be clean from glue, paint, oil, building residues etc., as well as other impurities or finishes that can impair the absorption of the product. Where necessary the concrete should be brushed, ground, milled or blasted. All loose material and residue water must be removed. |
|
Cracks, holes etc. to be made good, after which the whole surface is treated with CREOM in accordance with paragraph below. |
|
Make a test application of CREOM on a small area to avoid incorrect use. Check that it is absorbed by the concrete and does not form small bubbles. |
|
Apply CREOM twice allowing the surface to dry between each coat (approximately 1- 4 hours depending on conditions). CREOM can be applied using a good quality lambswool roller, or spray. The first coat should be thorough, although care should be taken to avoid excess application i.e. puddling. Application should be in one direction over the floor. The second coat should be applied at right angles to the first, ensuring that the whole area is effectively covered. Creom should not be applied below 5°C. |
|
When the final layer has hardened the surface is ready for screeding, floor-covering, painting, etc. CREOM treated surfaces which are not covered by any material must not be exposed to high pressure hosing until a week after treatment to guarantee hardening. |
