ReVue™ SLM is a self-leveling underlayment based on Portland and Aluminate cement that is fortified with latex polymer and can be used to level or smooth most properly prepared substrates. Extended working time (30 minutes) allows for a more consistent finish by eliminating seams or cold joints that may occur when using products with a shorter working time. It leaves a finished surface that is suitable for most floor covering systems and can withstand temporary construction traffic.

Uses

Ideal for use in the following applications: Excels at leveling large areas. Surfaces such as concrete, well-bonded abraded mortars and ceramic tiles can be prepared for the installation of carpet, resilient floors, wood parquet, slate, ceramic tile, marble, granite or stone veneer floors. Properly prepared exterior grade plywood, cement board, anti-fracture membranes, insulating panels and other approved board underlayments may be covered.

Limitations

Do Not Use:
1. Where either the surface or air temperature falls below 50°F (10°C) or above 85°F (29°C) within 72 hours after installation.
2. When finished floor is subject to freeze (32°F or 0°C) any time within 7 days.
3. Where hydrostatic pressure is present or moisture emissions exceeds level permitted for an installed floor covering.
4. Over particle board, presswood, masonite, chipboard, Luaun, or similar dimensionally unstable materials or any substrate not well bonded or free of movement.
5. Over metal or other gypsum floor patches and materials, petroleum or solvent residue or spills, or other contaminants.

Application Equipment

 

• Protective clothing
• Porcupine roller
• Mixing barrel
• 0.50 inch or larger, heavy-duty drill fitted with a mixing prop or Jiffy blade
• Gage rake  


Assemble Equipment: Due To The Limited Pot Life Of The Material, All Application Equipment, Etc. Should Be Ready For Immediate Use. (Clean Roller With Tape To Remove Any Residual Lint.)

 

Cleanup: Use Water To Clean Revue-slm From Tools And Equipment. Once It Is Dry It Will Need To Be Removed Mechanically. It Is Important To Periodically Clean Tools.

 

Surface Preparation

For best performance and to maintain guarantee, Eco-MPE™ or other Tennant epoxy must be used on all surfaces. (Use of other primers voids all warranties.) All supporting surfaces shall be structurally sound, solid and stable. They shall be free of dust, oil, grease, paint, tar or other contaminants that may act as a bond breaker. Application over textured surfaces will give the best bond. Concrete that has been steel troweled should be scarified or bead blasted to give a suitable bonding surface. A CSP (concrete surface profile) of at least three is recommended.
A test patch for adhesion should be performed if the installer is in doubt. Before starting installation, establish the level around the area to be filled with a transit, level or laser device. Mark a “do not exceed” level around room or area perimeter by snapping a line or marking a minimum level by setting coated nails or screws just below the level to be achieved.
Subsurface must be essentially watertight, as ReVue-SLM is extremely flowable. Make sure any holes, cracks, etc. that would permit material through to a lower level are patched or filled with Eco-MPE or other Tennant epoxy prior to priming.

Applications

Coverage Rate: Coverage Rate Will Depend Upon Application Thickness. A One Bag Mix Will Nominally Cover (Finished Floor):
Revue-slm: 47 Ft2 @ 1/8" (4.37 M2 @ 3.18 Mm)
Mix Each 50 Pound (22.7 Kg) Bag Of Revue-slm With Exactly 5 Quarts (4.75 Liters) Of Potable Water. Do Not Over Water. Mix Two Bags At A Time. Add Revue-slm To The Water In The Barrel At A Steady Rate While Mixing With A Drill And Paddle. Mixing For 3-4 Minutes Should Achieve A Lump-free Mix. Note: Four Or Five Bags Can Be Mixed At One Time In A Mortar Mixer (Not Concrete Mixer).
Working Time: Approximately 30 Minutes At 72°f (22.2°c).
Pour The Mixed Material On The Prepared Area To Be Leveled. Spread Out Using A Gaged Spreader Tool Set To The Desired Depth. Use Porcupine Roller To Disperse Air Bubbles. Repeat Mixing And Pouring Until Installation Is Complete. Use Smoother For Touch-ups. To Avoid Low Spots Between Pours, Pour Into Leading Edge Of Previous Pour Before Initial Set And Spread.
Pump Application: For Specific Pump Methods And Installation, Contact Tennant Technical Field Support For Recommendations. Generally Revue-slm Is Pumped Through A Hose To The Application Site. The Applicator Lays Down A Succession Of 3-6 Inch (7.6-15 Cm) Ribbons Of Material Pumping Into The Leading Edge Of The Preceding Section. Depending On The Pump Used, 10,000-50,000 Ft.2 (900-4500 M2) At 0.25 Inches (0.6 Cm) Can Be Placed Per Day. Use Within 20 Minutes Of Mixing. For Best Results Ambient And Surface Temperatures Should Be Between 50° - 90°f (10°-32°c).
Set Time Of Material Is 45 Minutes. Stay Off Floor Until Set.
Allow Material To Cure 8-24 Hours Before Applying Floor Covering.

Applications of Additional Coatings

The repair mortar needs to be mechanically prepped, or coatings will not adhere well. The repair mortar needs to cure >12 hours before it will be hard enough; this will vary with cure conditions.

Safety & Health

Preliminary Floor Inspections

Check The Temperature: Floor Temperature And Materials Need To Be Between 50-85°f (10-29° C). Note: Higher Temperature Application Will Yield Shorter Work Times.
Check The Concrete: Concrete Must Be Structurally Sound. Tennant Assumes No Liability For Substrate Defects. If You Suspect The Concrete Has Been Sealed Or Coated, Call Tennant Company Tech Support For Further Instructions.
Check For Moisture: Concrete Must Be 28 Days Old Before Application Of This Material. Concrete Moisture Testing Must Occur. In-situ Relative Humidity Testing Is Recommended. Readings Must Be Below 75% Relative Internal Concrete Humidity. Test Methods Can Be Purchased At Www.astm.org, See F2170, Or Follow Manufacturer's Instructions. If Moisture Issues Are Present, The Use Of A Moisture Mitigation System May Be A Consideration. Please Call Tennant Company Technical Support For Further Information / Instructions.
