Advanced additive technologies for self-levelling, low-shrinkage, and high-performance flooring systems
Floor levelling compounds play a critical role in preparing substrates for final finishes — whether in residential, commercial, or industrial environments. These specialist formulations must deliver exceptional flow, fast drying, and long-term durability, all while maintaining a smooth, defect-free surface. Oscrete’s additive technologies are designed to meet these demands, supporting manufacturers with precision additives that enhance performance and consistency.
From self-levelling underlayments to wearing surfaces, our solutions help optimise flow, reduce shrinkage, and improve surface appearance — ensuring reliable results across a wide range of flooring applications.
Why Use Additives in Floor Levelling Compounds?
Floor levelling systems must balance rapid installation with long-term performance. Oscrete’s admixtures are formulated to deliver:
- Excellent self-levelling properties – Ensuring smooth, even spread with minimal manual effort
- High abrasion resistance and tensile bond strength – Supporting durability and adhesion to substrates
- Superior surface appearance – Minimising defects and touch-up requirements
- Fast drying times – Enabling quicker installation of final floor finishes
- Low shrinkage and reduced cracking – Supporting long-term structural integrity
- Low VOC values – Contributing to healthier indoor environments and sustainability goals
These benefits are essential for achieving high-performance flooring systems that meet both aesthetic and functional requirements
Oscrete’s Floor Levelling Additive Technologies
Our additive portfolio combines advanced materials to support consistency, speed, and durability in floor levelling compounds.
Elotex Redispersible Powder Polymers
Elotex polymers improve adhesion, flexibility, and wear resistance in self-levelling formulations. They support strong bonding to substrates and help reduce surface defects and cracking.
Osperse Retarders – RT01, RT02 & Tartaric Acid
Precise set-time control is essential in fast-paced flooring environments. Osperse retarders allow tailored working windows, helping teams manage placement and finishing without compromising drying schedules.
Lithium Carbonate – Controlled Acceleration
Used to accelerate setting in floor levelling compounds, lithium carbonate supports fast drying and early strength development — ideal for time-sensitive installations.
Cem-FIL® 62.4 Glass Fibres
These specialist fibres reinforce levelling compounds, reducing plastic shrinkage and improving tensile strength. They’re particularly effective in large pours and thin-section applications
Supporting Innovation in Flooring Systems
Oscrete’s fully equipped lab is dedicated to testing and developing innovative products for the floor levelling sector. We also work closely with supply partners’ labs and technical teams, giving customers access to a broad network of expertise and formulation support.
