Ronabond® DB-T

High Strength Shrinkage Compensated Self-smoothing Cementitious Topping

Ronabond® DB-T is a fast setting flow applied cementitious topping that is ideal for levelling screeds in preparation for trafficked coatings, direct trafficking or polishing. Shrinkage compensated, strong and fast curing it can accept foot traffic after about 8 hours, can be directly trafficked or can accept most resin based coatings. With close adherence to the simple mixing and installation instructions Ronabond® DB-T produces a smooth trafficable finish. It is compatible with most commonly used floor hardeners, coatings, adhesives, carpet, linoleum and similar floor finishes as well as with hard wood flooring, ceramic tiles etc.

  • Shrinkage compensated & fast cure for regular foot traffic and thin section coatings
  • Self-smoothing, does not require troweling to finish
  • Can be pumped or poured
  • Fast application, hence minimum disruption and down time
  • Wide water tolerance ensures proper performance
  • Economical – lower cost than resin based systems
  • Comply to EN13813 CT-C30-F7-B2.0

Application steps

MIXING

Ronabond® DB-T is mixed with the specified quantity of clean, potable water using the appropriate forced action mixer or pump equipment. For hand mixing the material should be mixed with a low or medium speed drill and paddle for at least 2 minutes and until free from lumps. The material should then be left for 5 minutes and briefly remixed for 30 seconds before being poured into place. For pump mixing the flow rate should be adjusted to achieve the initial flow of ~ 140 mm. A PFT G5 pump with a 20 metre hose has been found suitable. The water addition should be approximately 5.5 litres per 25 kg bag.

 

APPLICATION

After pouring or pumping the mixed material onto the primed substrate the material should be levelled to the desired thickness using a pin leveler, squeegee, notched trowel or similar. Subsequent mixes should be applied onto a wet edge and similarly levelled. Use the equipment to move the material into corners, low spots and around fittings. As soon as the level has been achieved and before the material starts to lose workability use a spiked roller to help any trapped air travel to the surface. Failure to do this will result in pinholes and blemishes in the surface.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application equipment with clean water immediately after use. Cured material can be removed mechanically.
