DESCRIPTION

Planipatch is an ultra fast-drying, self-curing, polymer-modified, cement-based

patching compound that rapidly develops high compressive strength. When

Planipatch is mixed with Planipatch Plus, the Planipatch Plus System can be used

as an embossing leveler or as a patch to fill voids over properly prepared vinyl

sheet goods, vinyl composition tile (VCT) and cement terrazzo before the direct

glue-down installation of floor coverings.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Fast-setting

• Polymer-modified

• Easy to apply

WHERE TO USE

• For skimcoating unfinished, rough-textured concrete and approved wood

underlayments

• For filling minor voids, holes and cracks in concrete and approved wood

underlayments

• Mix Planipatch with Planipatch Plus and use as an embossing leveler or

as a patch to fill voids over properly prepared existing cement terrazzo,

ceramic tile, VCT, or non-cushioned, fully adhered residential sheet vinyl

flooring, cutback and carpet adhesive residues.

• Interior residential (rental apartments, condominiums, homes)

• Interior commercial (office buildings, hotel rooms and hallways,

restaurants, cafeterias)

• Interior heavy commercial (hotel lobbies, convention centers, airports,

shopping malls, grocery stores, department stores)

• Interior institutional (hospitals, schools, universities, libraries, government

buildings)

See “Limitations” section below.

LIMITATIONS

• Do not install over substrates containing asbestos.

• Do not use as a final wear surface.

• Use only when the substrate and ambient temperatures are between 50°F

and 100°F (10°C and 38°C).

• For interior installations only

• Do not apply over self-stick tile, presswood, particleboard, flakeboard

or similar types of dimensionally unstable substrates.

• Do not install when the moisture vapor emission rate (MVER) exceeds

8 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. (3,63 kg per 92,9 m

) per 24 hours, when using

the anhydrous calcium chloride test (ASTM F1869). Do not exceed the

flooring manufacturer’s recommendations for MVER. When MVER is

Finish with the final floor covering chosen. • Because temperature and humidity (during and after tile installation) affect the final curing time, allow for extended periods of cure and protection when temperatures drop below 60°F (16°C) and/or when the relative humidity is higher than 70%.
