3 – 4 minute mixing workflow

  1. 01WeighRubber granules to the calculated weight.
  2. 02AddGroundVex binder at the selected ratio.
  3. 03Mix3 – 4 minutes to a uniform coat.
  4. 04LayPlace and trowel immediately.

Add binder to weighed rubber granules, mix 3 – 4 minutes, then place and trowel immediately. Guide cure times are conditions-dependent (50% RH at the temperatures in the current product guide). Density figures are installed-compacted guides — always follow current GroundVex technical data, project specifications, and site conditions.
