LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® Pump Truck System

The LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® System is a time-saving, cost-effective method in finishing new concrete or capping existing slabs. This proven LEAN Construction tool provides benefits right from the start of concrete placement in division 3 and flows through division 9.

The System combines LEED contributing, GREENGUARD certified, low alkali, self-levelling cement-based technology with a computer-controlled mobile blending unit (the pump truck).

Worth knowing:

• LATICRETE SUPERCAP pump trucks can pour enough self-levelling underlayment to cover up to 4500m2 of floor per day. That’s 12 basketball courts!
• Patented trucks blend the LATICRETE SUPERCAP self-levelling underlayment (SLU) onsite and then pump it out at a rapid rate – faster than anything else on the market.
• After the SLU is laid, it sets for a perfectly flat and smooth finish within 4 hours. Workers can be on the floor the next day without issues.
• The SUPERCAP system is so versatile it can be used for all kinds of projects, including high-rise buildings, retail stores, hospitals, and more. 
• LATICRETE SUPERCAP System will pump self-levelling materials up to 70 floors from street level to deliver a perfectly flat floor faster, safer, and greener.
• The system uses a certified low VOC, low alkali, self-levelling cement-based technology with a computer-controlled mobile blending unit (the pump truck). 

This revolutionary system benefits the entire project from design to completion by providing predictable results that can shave weeks off a project schedule while delivering a perfectly flat floor for following trades to build out on.

Next Generation Floor Levelling

 

LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® system featured in 

Construction Engineering Australia Magazine!

The LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® system has not only gained an enviable reputation for its versatility and speed, but it is also being hailed as a massive leap forward in OH&S for floor levelling workers and other trades working in the vicinity. With all product mixing and pumping done in the fully self-contained Mobile Blend Unit (MBU), the LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® system not only eliminates the need for manual handling and unloading of heavy product bags (usually hundreds of bags weighing 20kg each per job), it also prevents exposure to the dangerous silica dust which is an unavoidable consequence of traditional manual mixing inside the building.

"It is no exaggeration to say the LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® technology has forever changed the face of floor levelling operations. It has quite literally redefined what is considered 'world's best practice' for floor levelling operations. And we're extremely proud to be able to offer this technology to the Australian market." - David Kealy, AllPrep Flooring Specialists Pty Ltd.

Checking the Status of Stone Sealing

In a technical article featured in Discovering Stone #34, Fred Gray, LATICRETE Australia Technical Service Manager, provides an informative discussion on checking the status of stone sealing. 

If you need to know if the new stone, tile, paver or existing installation is already effectively sealed, partially sealed, not sealed or whether it can be sealed, continue reading! 

"Determining if a stone is sealed is an important question which must be answered prior to considering the application of a new sealer treatment. Realising if an unsealed stone surface will be able to accept a sealer is also critical in determining how to move forward. There is a simple "Water Test" that will help you determine, not only if the tile is sealed or not, but give you a guide as to what sealer should be used. 

.... This quick and easy test can provide valuable information about the current state of the stone surface. It will not only help you determine if a sealer is present or required, it can also provide good information as to how many coasts and what sealer to apply." Click here to continue reading.

An extract from "Penn State Swimming Pool" Project Spotlight:

“The McCoy Natatorium, Penn State’s main swimming facility, features a 1960s-era Olympic-sized pool that began to show it’s age in early 2004. Tiles were loose and cracking in the pool and throughout the decking. The grout between the tiles was deteriorating, and water was reaching the underlying concrete.

When Penn State put the job out to bid, the package required a firm that could deliver the highest quality and warrany it’s work. JP Phillips, a Laticrete MVP firm, won the job in no small part due to its ability to deliver the coveted Laticrete 25-year warranty.”
