SpECtop PE5 is designed to offer an extremely
hardwearing, low maintenance, anti-skid surfacing to
a wide range of substrates including concrete,
asphalt, steel and timber.
SpECtop PE5 is ideally suited for Ro/Ro link spans,
ship and oil/gas platforms, helicopter decks, car
parks, walkways, industrial workshops and heavy
plant/cargo handling areas.
· Extremely hard wearing
· Flexible
· Chemical resistant
· Non-slip, provides anti-skid surfacing
· Waterproof
· Excellent adhesion to steel, concrete, asphalt
· Solvent free to minimize disruption
· Resistant to flame spread
· UV resistant when dressed with recommended
surface dressing aggregate
Preparation
Concrete
It is essential that the substrate surfaces are correctly
prepared prior to application. All substrates must be
sound and free from contamination with oil, grease
and other matter. Any oil or grease contamination
must be removed completely by, scabbling or shotblasting the contaminated areas to provide a clean
substrate. Laitance should be removed by blasting,
grinding, or light scabbling.
Concrete surfaces must be primed with SpECtop
Primer F1. The primer must be allowed to become
tack free before applying SpECtop PE5.
Steel
When applying to steel work, the surface should be
cleaned to a bright metal finish by grit blasting to a
bright metal finish. An angular profile amplitude of at
least 75 microns is recommended. SpECtop Primer
F1 should be used prior to the application of
SpECtop PE5.
Asphalt
SpECtop PE5 can be applied directly onto asphalt
substrates without the need for primer. The asphalt,
however should be at least 3 months old, clean,
dry and sound. The asphalt should be lightly grit
blasted to remove any weakly bonded or
contaminated material to provide a sound
substrate.
Wood
Substrate must be clean, dry and dust free. No
priming is required.
Primer
Add the entire contents of the hardener can to the
base can. Once mixed SpECtop Primer F1 should
be applied immediately as a thin continuous film
using stiff brushes or rollers. Over application and
puddles should be avoided. Porous substrates may
require two or more coats. The primer should be
allowed to become tack-free prior to the application
of SpECtop PE5.
Mixing
SpECtop PE5 is a four part pre-weighed system
ready for on site use. Mechanical mixing is
essential and a drill and paddle type mixer is
recommended. Add the entire contents of the
hardener tin to the base tin and mix for 2-3
minutes using a slow speed drill fitted with a
suitable mixing paddle until the mixture is
homogeneous. Pour the mixed material into a 25
litre steel pail and slowly add the filler component
whilst mixing. Mix for a minimum of 5
minutes.
Application
SpECtop PE5 should be poured onto the previously primed substrate and spread to the required
thickness using a serrated steel trowel or
squeegee. It is essential to spread the material in a
uniform even application without over-working.
SpECtop PE5 may be rolled with a spiked roller to
aid the release of trapped air. The surface dressing
aggregate (SpECtop Armourite Grain) should be
broadcast across the surface within 5 minutes of
application.
SpECtop PE5 should be left to cure for at least 24
hours @ 20°C before all excess, unbound aggregate
is brushed from the surface.
SpECtop PE5 slurry is supplied in a three part
system with the following recommended coverage
rates.
