AltroPol
AltroPol is a complementary part of the Altro flooring package, improving the strength of subfloors in readiness to receive resilient flooring systems or synthetic resin floor finishes. AltroPol is a stabilised styrene butadiene copolymer designed to enhance the physical properties of cement based floor screeds and repair compounds. It contains integral antifoam and antioxidant agents.
The incorporation of AltroPol in cementitious compositions imparts greatly improved flexural strength, which together with the high bonding and fast-curing capacity allows the production of thin section seamless floor screeds with excellent durability and overall properties.
AltroPol is supplied as a white mobile liquid. It is readily diluted with water and then used to gauge the screed mixture of cement and aggregates to provide the desired performance and characteristics.
Thickness
The minimum recommended design thickness is as follows:
- 6mm bonded
- 50mm unbonded
- 75mm floating
Areas of use
Typical applications
- Faster curing to allow early overlayment
- Thin section floor screeds
- Smoothing screeds to even out the surface of damaged or tamped finish concrete
- Levelling screeds to receive other finishes
- Screeds of varying thickness to install falls for drainage purposes
- Underlayments for resilient floor coverings and resin finishes
- Patching of worn or damaged concrete
Benefits
- Greatly reduced drying time
- Easy to use single component, gauged as required
- Thinner screeds with excellent durability and impact resistance
- Superb adhesion, maintained even in wet conditions
- Integral antifoam so no additions on site are necessary
