Platform FT

Fast Track Self Leveling Underlayment

Features

Platform Fast Track (FT) self-leveling underlayment (SLU) is a premium self-drying, calcium aluminate cement based self-leveling underlayment with superior placement characteristics and low surface prep capability. Platform FT is suitable for leveling and smoothing of floors for tile, stone, resilient, wood, carpet and other floor coverings. Platform FT offers a variable water ratio to aid in application and design flexibility. Platform FT seeks its own level providing excellent working time while providing compressive strengths over 5500 psi in 28 days and may receive floor finishes as quickly as four hours.

Fast Track, suitable for floor covering as early as 4 hours* after placement.
Featuring Low-Surface Prep, “Clean, Prime, Pour.”
Superior flow and placement characteristics yield flat, smooth surfaces.
Suitable for finished flooring such as vinyl, LVT, carpet, engineered wood,
ceramic tile & more.
Can be left exposed to light trade traffic during build out.

Suitable Substrates

Application Procedures

FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY

• Start with clean, appropriately sized mixing container and potable water.
• Place designated mixing water (5.75 – 6 US Qts per 50 lb bag) in mixing container.
• DO NOT OVERWATER. Overwatering will compromise material strength and stability.
• Add Platform FT to the designated water and mix for 2.5 - 3 minutes with a power
drill/mechanical mixer >650 RPM. Material must be homogenous and lump-free prior to
placement.
• Platform FT may be extended 25% with ¼” washed, SSD pea gravel.

Once material is mixed, immediately pour onto floor and spread to depth with a gauge rake or other. Once at desired depth, use a smoother or magic trowel to lightly break surface tension to apply finishing touches to the placement.

Always pour additional materials into existing materials on the substrate along the wet edge of the placement – “keep a wet edge.”

Where depths greater than 1 1/2” are required, utilize a two-lift system.
Contact Technical services for details.

Dry Time Prior to Flooring Installation

Platform FT is self-drying. Avoid direct sunlight and air movement across the surface of the Platform FT during the curing process. When placed at depths to 3/8” (8mm) Platform FT is typically ready to receive breathable floor finishes as early as 6 hours after placement, and non-breathable finishes after 16-24 hours of dry time. For applications poured at greater depths, consider using a mat test to determine dryness.

Cooler temperatures and humid environments may slow drying marginally.
