Strongcoat Topping is applied by trowel and can be laid to falls. It has a very good durability towards pedestrian and vehicular traffic and a very good resistance towards many of the chemicals commonly found in an industrial environment (consult Technical for further details).

Strongcoat Topping can be supplied in a variety of colours (consult our Sales Department for details).

Materials Supplied

30kg. 

Coverage

Approximately 2.95m² per kit at 5mm thick.

Storage

Store at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C.

Shelf Life

Approximately 24 months if stored in unopened containers and under good conditions.

Technical Information

Surfaces must be primed with Strongcoat Primer and blinded with Coarse Aggregate to provide a mechanical key and allowed to dry before application of Strongcoat Topping (see the Strongcoat Primer Data Sheet for further details).

More than one coat of Strongcoat Primer may be required for highly porous or textured surfaces.

MIXING 

Transfer the entire contents of the Strongcoat Topping Hardener into the Resin container ensuring that the bottom and sides are thoroughly scraped and using a jiffy-type mixer attached to a slow-running electric drill, mix for approximately two minutes. Once the Hardener and Resin have been mixed, transfer the entire contents of the Resin container into a Casco or Creteangle-type mixer, ensuring that the bottom and sides are thoroughly scraped.

Start the mixer and add the entire contents of the Strongcoat Topping Filler container, ensuring that this is completely dry and lump-free. Continue mixing for approximately two minutes.

Never mix Strongcoat Topping by hand as this could lead to areas of uncured material.

APPLICATION

Once mixing is complete, transfer the Strongcoat Topping to the primed surface and using a straight-edged steel trowel, apply it evenly. Using Quickmast Solvent on the trowel will also aid in producing a tightly closed surface.

When applying each kit of Strongcoat Topping, leave approximately 200mm of the closest working edge untrowelled as this will help the blending in of the next kit.

Avoid excessive trowelling as this can lead to marks resembling burns on the surface.

WORKING TIME

Approximately 30 minutes at 20°C.

Never leave the mixed material to stand for any length of time before application as this will considerably shorten its working time.

Once mixing and application are complete, tools can be cleaned with a suitable solvent.

WORKING CONDITIONS

Do not apply at temperatures less than 10°C.

SEALING

To ensure that the surface is fully sealed against liquid spills, it is recommended that Strongcoat Topping is sealed with two coats of Fildek Sealer. Should a matt finish be required, the surface may be sealed with two coats of Strongcoat Matt (see the Strongcoat Matt Data Sheet for further details)

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Consult the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets prior to using Strongcoat Topping.
