Description
Thomsit DX is a universal and high strength smoothing and levelling compound for mineral based subfloors, especially cement/sand screed and concrete. Can be applied 0.5 - 10 mm in one application. Especially suitable for pump application. Roller castor resistant >1mm. Suitable for use over underfloor heating. Thomsit DX is suitable for levelling the subfloor before the application of the other flooring materials, e.g. PVC/Vinyl floorings, wooden flooring, carpet, etc. Thomsit DX is not recommended as a wearing surface for outdoor. For interior use only.

Properties
Special cement with selected additives. Very low emission GEV EMICODE EC1 certified product. Self-levelling, fast setting and fast drying. Set to foot traffic in approximately 2 hours. High final strength.

Substrates
The substrate must be free from structural defects, sound i.e. of adequate compressive and tensile strength, permanently dry and free from laitance, dust, surface treatments or contamination, which would impair the bond of the Thomsit product(s). It may be necessary to mechanically prepare the surface of the substrate. Prime absorbent, porous subfloors with Thomsit R777 multi-purpose primer, diluted 1:1 with water. Nonabsorbent, smooth subfloors should be primed with Thomsit R760 tunoprene primer. Substrate requirements: Strength C15; surface hardness > 1.2MPa; humidity of subfloor 4% Ensure the correct Thomsit primer is selected prior to the application of this product if in doubt please contact Thomsit Technical Services.

Application
Thomsit DX must be mixed in a clean container with clean water (6.5 ltrs to 25 kg bag of powder). Mix with an electric mixer (>750W and <600rpm) and suitable attachment. Mix to a lump-free consistency. Let it mature for approx. 2-3 minutes and mix again for 1 minute. Apply the product to the required thickness (<4mm) using a

suitable finishing trowel. Alternatively, Thomsit DX can be applied with a proprietary continuous feed mixer pump. . Avoid drafts and direct sunlight. Warm ambient conditions, warm powder and/or mixing water will reduce the working and setting times; conversely, in cold conditions working and setting times will be extended. When applying above 10 mm (in one application), substitute with Thomsit DE 95 (3 40 mm).
