Rapid Set has released Skim Coat, a high-bond-strength, fast-curing, smooth hydraulic cement-based material for floor underlayments, concrete repairs, patching and skim-coating on interior and exterior projects.
Used to repair, level and smooth concrete substrates prior to the installation of floor coverings such as carpet, tile, pavers, and epoxy toppings and other coatings, Skim Coat provides excellent bond strength and is workable for 20 minutes. The versatile product can be applied from featheredge to 1 inch in a single application. Able to reduce downtime, Skim Coat is ready for floor coverings in one hour and can be coated or sealed in 16 hours. Adding to the speed and usability of the product, no primer or curing compound is needed, and it just requires the addition of water to be ready for work. The material is resistant to mold and mildew.
Skim Coat offers green benefits. According to recent studies, RapidSet cement has a 32 percent smaller carbon footprint than portland cement on a pound by pound basis. Also, Skim Coat contains preconsumer recycled contents, making it an even greener product.
Upon curing, Skim Coat’s light gray color blends well with the color of concrete.
