MIXING
Before product use, take appropriate safety precautions. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet for details.
1. Into a clean mixing container, pour 3/4 of the required 0.8 U.S. qt. (0,76 L) of potable water per 10-lb. (4,54-kg) bag, or 3/4 of the required 1 U.S. gal. (3,79 L) of potable water per 50-lb. (22,7-kg) bag or pail.
Note: If Planicrete AC is being used, replace the full amount of required water with diluted Planicrete AC per its Technical Data Sheet.
2. Slowly add the full bag of Planitop X into the mixing container while mixing with a drill and Jiffy mixer.
3. Add as much of the remaining 1/4 of fluid as needed.
4. Mix for 3 to 4 minutes. Continue to mix until a smooth, homogenous consistency is achieved.
APPLICATION
Read all installation instructions thoroughly before installation.
1. Before application, ensure that prepared concrete is saturated surfacedry (SSD).
2. Apply a scrubcoat of Planitop X. One-Component, Fast-Setting,
Fiber-Reinforced, Vertical and Overhead Repair Mortar Planitop®
X
3. Apply Planitop X directly to the scrubcoat before it dries out.
4. Apply Planitop X by float, working from the center of the repair to the
outer edge. Finish the application similar to the surrounding concrete.
CURING
• Protect Planitop X from high wind or direct sunlight during curing.
• Protect the surface with wet burlap or a continuous mist spray for at least
4 to 6 hours after placement.
• Alternatively, immediately after finishing, apply a water-based curing compound conforming to ASTM C309.
