The precautions before laying the LATICRETE® 226 + LATICRETE® 3642 screed are:
- Use good quality water to mix the screed
- Ensure concrete surface is cleaned of debris, curing compounds, dust or any other contaminants.
- Pre-wet the concrete surface to ensure surface saturated dry conditions (SSD condition)
- Key coat (priming coat) should be done using LATASCREED® 100 / cement screed mixed with water to form slurry ensuring minimum 1 Kg consumption per square meter area of floor.
- Mix the screed materials using LATICRETE® 226 + LATICRETE® 3642 + water, uniformly without any lumps. Check the consistency of screed.
- Place the mixed materials of screed made with LATICRETE® 226 + LATICRETE® 3642 when the key coat is still tacky.
