Self-leveling mortar formula

Self-leveling mortar is usually used for floor decoration. Self-leveling has good fluidity, no cracking, no hollowing, and can protect the floor.

Colors include natural cement gray, red, green, etc. Other colors can also be customized according to your preferences.

The construction is simple, it can be used after adding water and stirring, and it can be quickly spread on the ground to obtain a high-level floor.

Composition of self-leveling cement

Self-leveling cement, also known as self-leveling mortar, is a hydraulically hardened composite material made of cement as the base material and highly compounded with other modified materials. The existing self-leveling cement mortar has a variety of formulas, but the composition It’s about the same.

It mainly consists of six parts:

1. Mixed gelling material

There are mainly three types of high alumina cement, ordinary Portland cement, and a-hemihydrate gypsum/anhydrite, accounting for 30%-40%.

2. Mineral filler

Mainly quartz sand and calcium carbonate powder, accounting for 55%-68%.

3. Coagulant regulator

Mainly retarder – tartaric acid, coagulant – lithium carbonate and superplasticizer – superplasticizer, accounting for 0.5%.

4. Rheology modifier

Mainly defoamers and stabilizers, accounting for 0.5%.

5. Enhanced components

Mainly redispersible polymer powder, accounting for 1%-4%. 

6. Water

According to the formula needs to add the appropriate amount of water to make self-leveling mortar.

recipe two

26% Portland cement 525R, 10% high-alumina cement, 3% lime, 4% natural anhydrite, 4421% quartz sand (01-03mm, silica sand is the best because of its good fluidity), 10% Calcium carbonate (40-100um), 0.5% superplasticizer (melamine, Peramin SMF 10), 0.2% tartaric acid or citric acid, 01% defoamer P803, 004% lithium carbonate (<40um), 01% sodium carbonate, 005 % cellulose ether (200-500mPas), 22-25% water.

Performance requirements of self-leveling cement mortar

Self-leveling cement mortar has certain performance requirements, including fluidity, slurry stability, compressive strength, etc.:

1. Fluidity: Generally, the fluidity is greater than 210~260mm.

2. Slurry stability: Pour the mixed slurry on a glass plate placed in a horizontal direction, and observe it after 20 minutes. There should be no obvious bleeding, stratification, segregation, and bubbling.

3. Compressive strength: The compressive strength of the ordinary cement mortar surface layer is above 15MPa, and the compressive strength of the cement concrete surface layer is above 20MPa.

4. Flexural strength: The flexural strength of industrial self-leveling cement mortar should be greater than 6Mpa.

5. Coagulation time: After confirming that the slurry is stirred evenly, ensure that its use time is more than 40 minutes, and the operability will not be affected.

6. Impact resistance: Self-leveling cement mortar should be able to withstand the collision of human body and transported objects in normal traffic, and the impact resistance of the ground is greater than or equal to 4 joules.

7. Bonding tensile strength to the base layer: The bonding tensile strength of the self-leveling material on the cement floor is usually above 0.8 MPa.

Features of self-leveling mortar:

1. It has good fluidity, spreads evenly, and can flow well into the gaps of floor heating pipes.

2. The hardened self-leveling mortar is evenly distributed and has good anti-segregation ability.

3. The dense structure of self-leveling mortar is conducive to the uniform upward conduction of heat, which can ensure the thermal effect well.

4. High strength, fast hardening, usually 1-2 days can be used.

5. The shrinkage rate is extremely low, and it is not easy to crack, delaminate and hollow.

Use of self-leveling mortar:

Self-leveling mortar is mainly used in the floor decoration of modern buildings. It has the characteristics of high flatness, good fluidity and no cracking, and is deeply loved by the majority of owners.

The self-leveling floor is seamless as a whole, self-leveling, the ground is flat, smooth and beautiful; dustproof, waterproof, easy to clean; good corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, wear resistance, compression resistance, impact resistance, and certain elasticity.

Uses and application scenarios:

1. Cement self-leveling is used as a high-level base surface for epoxy floors, polyurethane floors, PVC coils, sheets, rubber floors, solid wood floors, and diamond plates.

2. Cement self-leveling is a flat base material that must be used for the laying of PVC coils on the quiet and dust-proof floors of modern hospitals.

3. Cement self-leveling is also used in clean rooms, dust-free floors, hardened floors, and antistatic floors in food factories, pharmaceutical factories, and precision electronics factories.

4. Polyurethane elastic floor base layer for kindergartens, tennis courts, etc. As the base layer of acid and alkali resistant floor of industrial plant and wear-resistant floor. Robot track surface. Flat base for home floor decoration.

5. Various wide-area spaces are integrated and leveled. Such as airport halls, large hotels, hypermarkets, department stores, conference halls, exhibitions, halls, parking lots, etc. can quickly complete high-level floors.
