Description

Rapid Set® TRU® PC is an advanced, professional grade, hydraulic cement-based, self-leveling, architectural topping and resurfacer. It can be ground and polished to expose the aggregate and simulate the appearance of polished concrete. TRU PC rapidly levels, maintains workability for up to 20 minutes, is ready for foot traffic in 2 to 3 hours, produces a dense surface, has high-bond strength, and is ready for coatings in 12 hours. As an interior and exterior product, it is durable in wet or dry conditions. TRU PC is available in natural and gray.

Use TRU PC for polished concrete floors in schools, airports, warehouses, retail, restaurants, lobbies, and more.

Use TRU PC to reduce your carbon footprint and lower your environmental impact. Production of Rapid Set cement emits far less CO2 than portland cement. Contact your representative for LEED values and environmental information.

Use TRU PC when a high quality, fast, polishable concrete topping is required. TRU PC is ideal for projects that need long flow life and working time while achieving high early strength. Protective coatings, sealers or epoxies can be applied per the manufacturer’s recommendations after 12 hours.

Substrate must be clean, sound concrete that is free of gypsum compounds and all materials that may inhibit bond such as: oil, curing compound, dust, mastic, bond breakers, and other surface contaminants. Mechanical methods of surface preparation such as shot blasting are preferred. Surface must be ICRI CSP 3 to 5. Acid etching the substrate is not recommended. Surface must be dry and be properly primed. Surface and ambient temperatures must be between 50°F and 90°F (10°C and 32°C).

Use a Rapid Set® TXP™ Epoxy Primer with sand broadcast to refusal. Follow all product specifications and instructions.

For each bag of TRU PC, use 3.75 to 4.0 quarts (3.5 L to 3.8 L) of potable water. For polished floors, use less water to achieve maximum aggregate exposure with minimal grinding. Start with 3.75 quarts (3.5 L) per bag. Add the measured amount of water to the mixing container. While the mixer is running, add TRU PC. Additional water may be added if necessary. Do not exceed 4.25 quarts (4.0 L) per bag.

Multi-bag batches produce more uniform results. For 5-bag batches, use 18.75 quarts (17.7 L) of water in the appropriate sized batch mixer. Mix using a helix style mixing paddle. After the final bag is added to the batch, mix an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is lump-free. If additional flow is required, add 0.5 quart (0.5 L) increments of water and check the flow. Do not exceed 21.25 quarts (20.1 L) per 5 bags. Avoid mixers that entrap large amounts of air. Mixed TRU PC should be placed within 20 minutes. Maintain material temperature between 60°F (16°C) and 80°F (27°C).
