Ceresit DX is a cement based leveling compound that creates a self-leveling fluid mass ideal for correcting imperfections on several floors such as concrete, plaster or cement mortars, ceramic tile, natural stone, epoxy coatings, and old substrates with firmly stuck adhesive residues. Compatible with the use of Ceresit adhesives for the placement of the final finish.

Step by step

Step 1

The substrates must be clean, crack-free, sound, dry, and free of substances that may impair adhesion and must comply with the current relevant local standards. Before applying the leveling compound, pretreat the surface with the recommended primers Ceresit R 777 and R 766.

Step 2

For the preparation of a 25 kg (55.12 lb.) bag, measure and pour 6.5 liters (1.72 gal) of water in a container. By stirring up, slowly add a Ceresit DX bag. Use a mixer or a drill with 650 rpm-speed fitted with appropriate blades or disks. Mix for 2 minutes, stop the mixing, scrape the walls and the bottom of the mixing vessel and mix for 2 more minutes until you get a smooth mixture free of lumps.

Step 3

Pour the self-leveling mixture by sections and uniform parts immediately in a given area depending on the expected performance and in accordance with the calculated thickness. Apply the leveling compound with a toothed squeegee or smoothing trowel to achieve a uniform thickness. Pass a roller repeatedly in both directions; this also helps to have a better product distribution. Let it dry for about 4 to 6 hours for foot traffic, and 24 hours to apply the desired finish.
