SCHӦ‑NOX® ZM RAPID, Rapid‑Setting Self‑leveling Compound

SCHÖNOX ZM RAPID is a rapid-setting, self-leveling compound suitable for use on cement- and gypsum-based substrates. It is designed for leveling of interior floors under tight time tables/schedules. Many types of floor coverings can be installed after just 1.5 hours. SCHÖNOX ZM RAPID can be installed up to 1”.

SCHÖNOX ZM RAPID produces surfaces with high hardness and strength. Users can layer thicknesses above 1/16“ up to 1/2“ without aggregates or layer thicknesses up to 1“ with aggregates.

SCHÖNOX ZM RAPID is suitable for filling, smoothing, and leveling of substrates under:

• Flexible coverings
• Ceramic tiles
• Wood floor and coatings, layer thickness at least 1/8” (drying time at least 12 hours)
• Underfloor heating systems

This pumpable compound exceeds minimum Ff/Fl requirements of ASTM and ACI when installed in accordance with the guidelines.

SCHÖNOX ZM RAPID is rated EMICODE® EC 1^PLUS R for very low emissions. It is suitable for castor wheel loadings above 1/16“ according to DIN EN 12529. It is also suitable for forklift truck traffic above 1/8”.

SCHÖNOX ZM RAPID is suitable on:

• Concrete, cement substrates
• Rapid-drying cement screed systems
• Old substrates, such as ceramic tiles
• Old, water-resistant adhesive residues
• Gypsum substrates
• OSB board, plywood (well screwed or bonded) prior to installing flexible coverings
