Product Overview

Self-leveling compound powder close-up

Quick answer: Anti-Crack Thick Cementitious Self-Leveling Compound is a factory pre-mixed flooring material based on anti-cracking rapid-hardening high-belite calcium sulphoaluminate cement (or white anti-cracking GGBFS sulphoaluminate cement), aggregate, filler and additives. With the specified water it self-levels, or flows level with light assisted spreading, and is designed for crack resistance, high strength, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance. It is supplied as a series: Type I for 5-25 mm and Type II for 25-150 mm, in Grade R (rapid) and Grade H (high-strength), across compressive grades C25-C90 and flexural grades F4-F12. Typical requirements (Q/TBJX 37-2025): initial mortar flow 130 mm, dimensional change -0.10% to +0.10% (Type I) or 28-day shrinkage ≤0.04% (Type II), tensile bond ≥1.5 MPa and abrasion ≤400 mm3. Order by full designation (for example SL-I-R-C25-F4), not by “C grade” alone.

The compound combines the high-belite sulphoaluminate binder, functional regulating components and multi-graded aggregate to control volume change while remaining flowable. Grade R emphasises early strength and faster opening for tight schedules; Grade H emphasises high ultimate strength and load capacity for higher design strength. Type I suits thin-to-medium leveling, wearing courses and approved decorative floors; Type II suits thick leveling and monolithic thick floors after structural and substrate verification.

Substrate quality is the primary factor for hollowing, cracking and flatness. “Anti-crack” does not mean zero cracking on any substrate, thickness or environment; movement, active cracks and poor workmanship can still crack. Grade and performance must not be judged by appearance alone.

Key Features

Wide thickness range

Type I (5-25 mm) and Type II (25-150 mm) cover the 5-150 mm standard range from thin leveling to monolithic thick floors.

Graded strength

Compressive grades C25-C90 and flexural grades F4-F12, combined by use so the floor is specified to the real load rather than over-designed.

Dimensional stability

Type I dimensional change -0.10% to +0.10%; Type II 28-day shrinkage ≤0.04% – controlled volume change for crack resistance.

Bond and impact resistance

Meets tensile bond ≥1.5 MPa with no cracking or debonding after the impact test, for a floor that stays bonded under service.

Abrasion resistance

Standard requirement ≤400 mm3; project suitability is verified together with the surface system, media and curing.

Flexible placement

Mechanical mixing and pumping, continuous mixing / conveying, or controlled-batch mixing for small areas.

Typical Applications

Industrial, Warehouse and Garage Floors

Commercial and Public Buildings

Old Floor Renovation

Underfloor Heating / Thick Leveling

Monolithic Mineral / Terrazzo Floors

Bridge Deck and Special Works

Directions for Use

  • Sequence: set levels – prepare the substrate (mill / shot-blast) – treat cracks – apply the matched primer – mix and pump – place, consolidate and roller-level – finish – harden, grind / polish.
  • Ensure the substrate has adequate strength, stiffness and stability with no active cracks, settlement, dusting, hollows or weak layers; remove laitance, oil, paint and old adhesive.
  • Batching: add about 90% of the specified water first, then the full bag of powder; forced-mix typically about 3 min; fine-tune to the specified flow with the remaining metered water – never exceed the W/P or retemper.
  • Place continuously away from the exit along the planned bays; de-air and blend laps with a spiked roller within the working window; keep batch sequence and pump flow steady to avoid cold joints.
  • Protect from early moisture loss, vibration, impact, ponding and foot traffic; some systems can be ground at about 24 h, governed by actual strength, moisture and trial grinding.
  • Carry existing expansion, settlement and movement joints through to the surface per design – do not rigidly bridge them with the compound.

Not directly suitable (without special design and verification): active cracks, unstabilised settlement or under-strength substrate; prolonged immersion, strong acid / alkali, solvent, high temperature or special media; use as a structural load-bearing member or statutory waterproofing layer; direct outdoor exposure, freeze-thaw or strong UV without added surface protection.

Packaging and Storage

Dry-mix mortar jumbo bag packaging ready for export

Bagged or bulk. Bags comply with GB 9774 (moisture-resistant) with net content per JJF 1070; other forms by agreement. Transport and store types and grades separately – do not mix. Protect from rain, damp, bag damage and dust; store bulk in sealed weatherproof silos and keep bags dry, off the floor and away from walls. Shelf life is from the production date per the label / COA; do not use expired product directly – retest, confirm, then decide.

FAQ

What is the difference between Type I and Type II?

Type I is for 5-25 mm thin-to-medium leveling, wearing courses and approved decorative floors; Type II is for 25-150 mm thick leveling and monolithic thick floors, and requires verification of structural load and substrate.

What is the difference between Grade R and Grade H?

Grade R (rapid) emphasises early strength and faster opening for tight schedules; Grade H (high-strength) emphasises high ultimate strength and load capacity for higher design strength.

Can I order by “C40” alone?

No. Confirm at least the type, R / H grade, compressive grade, Type-I flexural grade, colour, thickness, pumping method, opening time, surface treatment and any special environment. The full designation is, for example, SL-I-R-C25-F4.

Mechanism Explanation

The self-leveling compound is built on the high-belite sulphoaluminate binder series. The binder controls early hydration and volume change while functional regulating components and multi-graded aggregate keep the mix flowable, so the material self-levels yet resists cracking. Final floor performance depends on substrate strength and stability, the matched primer, water metering, mixing and the working window, de-airing, curing and any surface system. Adding water to chase flow raises the effective water-to-powder ratio and undermines strength, shrinkage control and abrasion resistance, so water is set by the grade data and method statement, not by eye.

Additional FAQ

Can it be used outdoors or under prolonged water?

Not directly. Direct outdoor exposure, freeze-thaw, rain / snow or strong UV, and prolonged immersion or special media, require project verification and added surface protection or a specially designed system. Confirm the exposure and add the matched topcoat before use.

What information should I provide before requesting samples?

Please send the floor use and expected loads, thickness, area, required strength and opening time, substrate type and condition, colour or decorative requirement, pumping method and destination market.
