Preparation
It is essential that adequate preparation is carried
out prior to the application of SpECtop ARE125
Concrete
Light sweep blasting is strongly recommended to
ensure the removal of all laitance, grease and oil.
Mixing
SpECtop ARE125 is supplied in a two-component
kit consisting of a pigmented base component and
a curing agent.
Both of the components should be briefly stirred
to ensure that any settlement products are fully
suspended.
The entire contents of the
curing agent should be
emptied into the base
components ensuring that
the sides of the curing
agent tin are carefully
scraped to removal all of
the material.
Application
The mixed product may be applied by brush or
roller.
The quantity of material used per coat and the
number of coats may vary depending on the
porosity of the substrate and the surface profile.
The application of excessive volumes of product
should be avoided as this will result in solvent
entrapment affecting both surface finish and the
subsequent performances of the coating.
Slip resistant finish
If a slip resistant finish is to be provided then
SpECtop NS GRAINS is required. SpECtop NS
GRAINS are supplied in pre-weighed bags.
For a slip resistant profile the first coat of SpECtop
ARE125 should be completely blinded with
SpECtop NS GRAINS. This should be carried out
while the coating is still wet. When the first coat has
reached its initial cure (12 hours @ 20°C), the excess
aggregate should be removed and the surface
vacuumed to remove any residue. The topcoat
is then applied.
SpECtop ARE125 is supplied in the pack sizes
