Directions for Use

Surface Preparation

Concrete surfaces shall be sound, clean, and free from standing water, laitance oil, grease and other contaminants.
Grinding or grit blasting are suitable mechanical means of removing laitance and contaminants and providing a profiled substrate.
Tarmac – New tarmac must be allowed to weather until all residual oils have been oxidized or been removed.
Thoroughly wash to remove contaminants and allow to dry.
Asphalt – Wash thoroughly to remove all contaminants and allow to dry.

Mixing

Mix equal volumes of BASE and CURING AGENT.
Thoroughly mix by slow speed mechanical stirrer (drill plus paddle attachment) until a uniform consistency has been achieved.

Priming

Priming is not usually required.

Application

Apply the mixed resin by roller, serrated trowel, or squeegee at a nominal rate of 0.5-3mm.
Application rate depends on the size of the aggregate to be broadcast.
Whilst the resin remains wet, broadcast the selected aggregate to achieve a full ‘blinding’ i.e. leave no resin visible.
The following day thoroughly sweep off any excess aggregate using a stiff bristled broom.

Equipment Cleaning

Clean equipment with CPR 201 – Tool Clean Solvent immediately after use.
