Surface Preparation

New Concrete Floors: New concrete must be clean, sound, dry, fully cured and surface laitance removed by vacuum enclosed shot blasting or mechanical grinding, a minimum strength of 25 N/mm² is required.

Existing Concrete Floors: Remove all dirt, oil, grease, old paint or any other surface contaminants by vacuum enclosed shot blasting, scarifying or mechanical grinding. Fats, oils or greases must be removed by mechanical means and detergent washing and making sure all residue of detergent is washed and removed by rinsing with clean water. Local repairs should be carried out using FasTop Multi BU.

Existing Floors (previously coated): All previous coatings and loose floor paints must be removed by mechanical preparation as described in the above section and primed as specified. If the old resin flooring cannot be removed then please consult with our technical team for advice on intercoat adhesion and suitability, as it may not be compatible with the existing floor coating.

Anchor Joints: To ensure the maximum bond is achieved, grooves must be cut into the perimeter of the subfloor, typically 20 mm deep by 5-10 mm wide. These should be inset approximately 150 mm from and running parallel with the walls and adjacent to any doorways, plinths etc. including any finished edge, i.e. both sides of a day work joint. The groove must have a neat square edge and the FasTop Multi TR1000 laid to the full depth forming a perimeter anchorage.

Primer

To achieve the best adhesion to substrates FasTop TR1000 must be applied onto wet primer. Resuprime ST can be used on dry substrates with less than 75% ERH reading.

Where the Relative Humidity of a substrate exceeds 75% ERH Resuprime MVT should be specified and selected on the basis of hygrometer readings in accordance with BS 8203. Please refer to the table below for required number of coats to achieve proper moisture tolerance.

ERH% Required Coating Thickness

• 75-85 1 coat of Resuprime MVT at 200 µm per coat
• 85-92 2 coats of Resuprime MVT at 200 µm per coat
• 92-97 3 coats of Resuprime MVT at 200 µm per coat

For further information please refer to recommended individual product data sheets.

Mixing

Add the FasTop Multi Base Part A half size pouch and then the FasTop Multi Colour Pack pouch contents into a mixing bucket or directly into a rotary drum mixer, mix thoroughly for one minute then add the FasTop Multi Hardener Part B half size pouch and mix for approximately one minute. If a separate bucket has been used pour the combined mix into a rotary drum mixer and add the FasTop TR1000 Aggregate component steadily, until a homogeneous mix of the three components is achieved.

FasTop TR1000 should be applied immediately after mixing to prepared and primed areas whilst the primer is still tacky.

Application

FasTop Multi TR1000 may be applied to substrates with a surface temperature in the range of 5-20°C and a relative humidity of 40% to 90% RH, with a minimum air temperature of 8°C and no condensation. Do not pre-warm this product as working times will be substantially reduced if materials are warm.

NB: Cure times are extended at low temperatures.

Whilst the epoxy primer used is still tacky, FasTop Multi TR1000 should be applied at the required rate as soon after mixing as possible using a screed bar and then be finished with a power trowel to create a compact even finish. (Delay can result in variation in surface finish, colour and add to application problems).

After a minimum of 8 hours FasTop Multi TR1000 should be grouted with FasTop Multi T150 and then Resuflor and FasTop products can be applied to the required depth and finish.
