UltraFloor Patch IT: Rapid Drying Repair Mortar 10kg

Technical information

• UltraFloor Patch IT is a highly versatile repair compound suitable for a wide variety of applications and its rapid curing profile minimise delays in project times.
• Exceptional slump resistant characteristics enabling it to be used for repairs in floors and small cracks in walls, as well as for creating coves and ramps and for repairs to concrete stair edges.
• Ideal product for overcoming unexpected problems on site such as damaged subfloors, spalled areas of screed, for the infill of areas around pipework, and also for making good damage caused by previous trades such as around windows and doors frames.
• A high strength product suitable for use in domestic and commercial applications.
• When used in flooring situations UltraFloor Patch IT should be covered with an UltraFloor smoothing underlayment or must have a suitable floor covering applied. Any exposed areas should be primed after curing with UltraFloor Prime IT Multi-surface Primer.
• A protein free formulation makes it ideal for use in biologically sensitive areas.
• Can be used on a variety of subfloors, and is suitable for use where warm water underfloor heating is incorporated.

How to mix UltraFloor Patch IT Repair Mortar

• It is important to only mix up the amount of product that can be applied within the working time of approx. 10 minutes.
• Do not try to reconstitute material which has began to harden off in the mixing vessel. Discard and mix up fresh material.
• Always use a clean mixing bucket.

Mixing instructions for Patch IT:

1. Add clean cold water to a suitable sized mixing vessel.
2. Gradually add UltraFloor Patch IT to the water whilst continually mixing.
3. Add sufficient powder to achieve lump free mortar. The mix ratios are approx. 3.5 parts powder to 1 part water when measured by volume.
4. Assess the slump characteristics by lifting material with a steel trowel and holding at a 90 degree angle.
5. Add more powder (whilst further mixing) if required for vertical applications.

How to apply Patch IT Repair Mortar

• For application thicknesses in excess of 20mm it is recommended that the product is ‘bulked out’ using graded aggregate of nominal 5-10mm at a volume of 1 part aggregate to 1 part powder. The aggregate should be added to the mixed UltraFloor Patch IT and further mixed to attain a uniform product.
• For repair applications apply the mixed material using a steel trowel. Push firmly into the crack, hole or recess and smooth over with the trowel. NOTE: UltraFloor Patch IT should wet out onto the substrate. If the product ‘rolls’ off under troweling this indicates that the substrate will need to be dampened and/or that the mortar has been mixed too dry. Where clean neat edges are required it is recommended to apply the product to leave slightly proud of the surface and then trim off any excess using a wet trowel. This can normally be carried out after approximately 10-15 minutes. A further improvement can be made by further smoothing the surface with a lightly dampened trowel or sponge float.
• If an overall smoothing compound application is to take place after the repairs then follow the manufacturers guidelines with regard to priming. Normally an application of UltraFloor Prime IT Multi-surface Primer, diluted 3 parts water to 1 part primer will suffice. Allow to dry.
• For smoothing, ramping, resurfacing or coving applications apply the mixed UltraFloor Patch IT to the surface at the required depth. The area that can be applied will depend on thickness and working time of the mixed product so ensure not too large an area is attempted and enough time is allocated. Allow to firm up to resist finger pressure before finishing off by using a wet trowel or wet sponge (for curved areas). Where larger areas are being carried out it is recommended that a temporary framework be created and removed once the product has gone through its initial set. Adjacent areas can then be carried out. Always lightly dampen exposed edges to ensure a good wetting out occurs on subsequent applications.
• Do NOT attempt to smooth out using a spiked roller as this will leave a textured profile.
