Adhesives for Flooring in Singapore |

What Are Adhesives and Why Are They Important for Flooring?
Adhesives are materials used to bond two surfaces together. In the context of flooring, adhesives are essential for attaching floor coverings such as vinyl, carpets, tiles, and wood to the subfloor. They help create a strong, lasting bond, ensuring that the flooring stays intact and performs well over time.
In flooring installations, especially with materials like vinyl, the right adhesive is crucial to ensuring durability, moisture resistance, and a smooth, seamless finish. Adhesives prevent common problems like lifting, bubbling, or shifting, making them integral for both residential and commercial flooring projects.
What Is a Self Levelling Compound?
A self levelling compound, also known as self levelling cement or floor levelling compound, is a polymer-modified, cement-based material that automatically spreads to form a flat and level surface. Unlike traditional screeds that require manual trowelling, a self levelling compound flows naturally to eliminate surface irregularities with minimal effort.
Cemimax’s innovative formulations are specifically engineered to ensure excellent flow characteristics, high compressive strength, and quick setting times. When applied over concrete, screed, or existing flooring, our products create a flawless, stable base that enhances the appearance, strength, and longevity of the final floor covering.
Cemimax self levelling compounds are trusted by flooring professionals across Singapore, Australia, and the Asia-Pacific region for their reliability, ease of use, and superior results.

Achieving a flawless, level floor begins with proper preparation and application. Follow these detailed steps to ensure the best results with Cemimax self levelling compounds, designed for professional-grade flooring installations in Singapore and beyond.
Surface Preparation
Before applying the levelling compound, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Remove dust, debris, oil, grease, or loose particles that could interfere with adhesion. Any cracks or holes should be repaired beforehand. For superior bonding, apply a suitable Cemimax primer to seal the substrate and prevent air bubbles. Allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding. Proper preparation ensures strong adhesion and long-term durability of the self levelling cement.
Mixing the Compound
For consistent results, always use clean, cool water. Gradually add Cemimax floor level cement powder to the water while mixing with a low-speed drill or mechanical mixer. Maintain the correct water-to-powder ratio as indicated on the product label. Mix for 2–3 minutes until the compound forms a smooth, lump-free liquid. Avoid overmixing, which can introduce air into the mixture and reduce performance.
Application
Pour the freshly mixed self levelling compound directly onto the prepared subfloor. Work in small sections for better control. Spread evenly using a trowel, gauge rake, or spreader to achieve the desired thickness. Cemimax's advanced self-smoothing formulation allows the material to flow naturally and fill imperfections, creating a uniform surface with minimal manual effort.
Levelling and Finishing
Allow the compound to self-smooth across the floor. Use a spike roller to release trapped air bubbles and achieve an even finish. Avoid foot traffic during the levelling process. For deeper areas, a second layer can be applied once the first has fully cured. Cemimax self levelling cement ensures a perfectly level, crack-free, and stable base for any flooring material.
