• Specialized aggregate to achieve a salt and pepper appearance on polished, decorative floors
• Outstanding clarity & gloss: Highly polishable with excellent surface hardness
• Fast track: Foot traffic in 2 to 3 hours, grind wet or dry, and polish in 24 hours.

GARDEN GROVE, CA – CTS Cement Manufacturing Corp. – manufacturer of Rapid Set® professional-grade cement products – announces Rapid Set® TRU® SP, an advanced, professional grade, hydraulic cement-based, self-leveling topping. It can be ground and polished to expose the sand and provide a salt and pepper appearance.

TRU SP levels rapidly, maintains workability for up to 20 minutes and is ready for foot traffic in 2 to 3 hours. It produces a dense surface and has high bond strength. As an interior and exterior product, it is durable in wet or dry conditions. TRU SP is available in both natural and gray.

Another important feature is that TRU SP may be polished wet or dry after 24 hours at normal conditions. It grinds and polishes much like concrete and can achieve a very high gloss and Distinctness-of-Image (DOI) due to its excellent surface hardness.
“TRU SP contains a specially graded aggregate that, when polished, produces a very cool salt and pepper finish that architects and owners will love,” said Matt Sambol, Manager of Flooring and Polymer Systems, CTS Cement Manufacturing Corp. “We’ve had great feedback already from contractors who like how easy it is to place and to get consistent aggregate exposure in the finished floor. Like the rest of the TRU product line, TRU SP can be polished wet or dry in as little as 24 hours to produce an incredible polished finish.”

Use of TRU SP is recommended for beautiful polished floors for schools, airports, warehouses, retail, restaurants and lobbies. Contractors use TRU SP when a high quality, fast, polishable topping is required.
The topping can help reduce a project’s carbon footprint and lower the environmental impact. This is because the production of Rapid Set cement emits far less CO2 than portland cement.

TRU SP is ideal for projects that need long flow life and working time while achieving high early strength. Protective coatings, sealers or epoxies can be applied after 12 hours. No wet curing is required under normal conditions at 70°F (21°C) with moderate
humidity.
