FasTop Multi RS69 (formerly known as Resuthane RS69) is a screed designed to combat the most aggressive of work floor environments. With its anti-slip components, extraordinary hard-wearing nature and high temperature resistance, it is ideal for any high wear industry.

FasTop Multi RS69 is utilised in variety of settings, such as veterinary practices, animal husbandry and dairies, as well as breweries and various food processing factories.

Individual components (base, hardener, aggregate, colour pack) available to purchase seperately

RECOMMENDED USES

• Food manufacture & processing
• Brewing & beverage
• Dairies
• Commercial Kitchens
• Pharmaceutical & chemical plant processing
• Abattoirs and meat processing facilities
• Heavy duty plant and traffic areas

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 25N/mm sq. 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 make sure all residue of detergent is washed and removed by rinsing with clean water.

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 existing floor coating.

To ensure the maximum bond is achieved, grooves must be cut into the perimeter of the subfloor, typically 20mm deep by 10mm wide. These should be inset approximately 150mm 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 RS69 laid to the full depth forming a perimeter anchorage.

Priming

Open and porous substrates will require priming with Resuprime ST on dry substrates only 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.

The number of coats to be applied is chosen in accordance with the following table:

ERH% Required Coating Thickness
75-85 - 1 coat of Resuprime MVT at 200 microns per coat
85-92 - 2 coats of Resuprime MVT at 200 microns per coat
92-97 - 3 coats of Resuprime MVT at 200 microns per coat

For further information please refer to individual product data sheets.

Application

FasTop Multi RS69 may be applied to substrates with a surface temperature in the range of 5-20°C and a relative humidity <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.

 When the primed surface is tack free FasTop Multi RS69 should be applied at the required rate as soon after mixing as possible. (Delay can result in variation in surface finish, colour and add to application problems).

NB: Cure times are extended at low temperatures.

Mixing: Mix the coloured base component to an even consistency, ensuring the re-dispersion of any settled pigment, thoroughly scrape the contents of the base and hardener components into the same container and mix thoroughly for one minute. Pour the combined base and hardener into a rotary drum mixer and add the aggregate component steadily, until a homogeneous mix of the three components is achieved. Apply to pre-primed areas and level between battens as necessary with a steel float, alternatively a sledge can be used set at the required thickness and again finished with a steel float.

Where ease of cleaning is very important alongside slip resistance, the final finish can be smoothed by back rolling with a short nap roller. A single pass with the weight of the roller is usually sufficient.

FasTop units should be applied consistently with mixes from the same batch used consecutively where adjacent areas are being laid.
