1. The pouring area subsides

The influence of construction techniques and method;

• Long stagnation time after stirring, causing the self-leveling compound bad fluidity;

• The ground absorbs water too fast, causing the self-leveling compound lose its fluidity in a very short time;

•Uneven primer coating;

• The construction thickness is incorrect;

• Self-leveling compound quality problems;

•Add too much or too little water;

•Construction temperature is too low;

2. Self-leveling floor cracking

• It can’t stick well to a substrate with sand or dust. The substrate floor needs to be clean before applying self-leveling compound;

• Not coated with an interface agent

• There is water or acid, alkali, salt, oil and other components on the substrate floor;

• The substrate floor is a non-absorbent type: marble ground, ceramic tile ground, steel plate ground, etc. with no interface agent is selected;

• There are cracks on the original ground, and the shrinkage joints are not filled before self-leveling;

3. Too many bubbles

• The substrate floor dries and absorbs water fast;

•Not coated with an interface agent

•Interface agents have poor sealing effect.

4. self-leveling sanding

•Add too much water, cause self-leveling compound sedimentation;

• The substrate floor is humid, and the self-leveling compound drying time is too long;

• Uneven self-leveling stirring;

• Construction temperature is too low;

• The self-leveling grinding time is too long or the grinding sand is too thick;

•Self-leveling compound quality problems;

• The ambient temperature is too high;

• The wind speed at the construction site is relatively fast;

5. After the self-leveling underlayment solidified, the color is not uniform and turns to off-white

• The ratio of water to self-leveling for each pack is different (but within the permitted range);

• Before pouring the self-leveling compound, the surface of the interface agent is not dry, and there is an accumulation of interface agent;

• Mixed with more water than the standard, it is easy to cause the appearance of off-white;

• There are deep holes in the substrate floor, the deeper the hole is, the thicker the self-leveling will be filled, and the darker the color will be;

• Stirring is uneven or insufficient.

6. Self-leveling drying speed is too slow

• Mixed with more water than standard;

• The interface agent has not penetrated;

• The substrate floor is a non-absorbent tyep;

• Indoor or ambient temperature is too low;

• Poor ventilation and slow moisture release;

•The moisture content of the substrate floor is higher than the construction standard.
