Rapid Set® TRU Self Leveling -- FAQ's
Floor Topping, Floor Resurfacing, Floor Underlayment
Q: What is TRU™ and what can it be used for?
A: TRU™ is a Self Leveling Topping, Resurfacer, and Underlayment. TRU™ can be used for topping new or old concrete to fill low spots and correct unevenness; resurfacing old concrete to provide a new, fresh appearance; as an underlayment under tile or carpet; or as a patching and repair material for horizontal surfaces. Can TRU™ be polished or stained? TRU™ is ideal for decorative applications and takes stains and dyes, as well as integral color (liquid). TRU™ polishes to a high luster, and does not turn pasty or gummy as other self leveling products often do. TRU™ can be polished the next day.
Q: Can TRU™ be RetroPlated?
A: TRU™ was developed in conjunction with RetroPlate to provide a high quality, self leveling material that can be polished and RetroPlated. TRU™ is designed to react with RetroPlate as portland cement concrete does, densifying the surface, and providing enhanced abrasion resistance along with other benefits.
Q: Does TRU™ require a special primer or bonding agent?
A: Although not required for bonding, TRU™ does require a primer. Porous substrates have trapped air that releases when a topping is poured on, migrating to the surface and causing pinholes and bubbles. A primer seals the surface of the substrate, preventing pinholes and bubbles.
Q: What type of primer should I use with TRU™?
A: Rapid Set® Acrylic Primer is specially formulated for maximum compatibility with TRU™.
Q: How should I mix TRU™ and can TRU™ be pumped?
A: TRU™ can be mixed in buckets with a drill motor and placed by hand, or mixed and pumped by machine.
Q: Is TRU™ as fast as other Rapid Set® products?
A: TRU™ allows much more working time than typical Rapid Set® products. At 70° F, TRU™ allows approximately 30 minutes working time with a 15 minutes flow life.
