SUPERTOP

Introduction

SUPERTOP is a ready to use non-metallic dry shake floor hardner which provides a highly abrasion and impact resistance dust-free sur-face to concrete floors which withstand spillages of Oil, Grease and certain industrial chemicals. SUPERTOP is easy to trowel in to the sur-face of fresh, wet concrete which cures monolitihcally to provide a dense, non porous, toughen and hard wearing surface suitable for industrial use.
SUPERTOP is a factory blended ready to use cementitious non-metalic floor hardner for all industrial areas subject to heaviest traffic. SUPERTOP is based on well-graded metallic hard wearing aggregates, chemicals and selected portland cements. SUPERTOP is designed to increase the durability and impact resistance of industrial and commercial concrete floors.

AREAS OF USAGE:
SUPERTOP is suitable for areas subject to constant impact such as quays, foundries, walkways, machine tool shops, car parks, ga-rages, service stations, machine showrooms, shopping centres, warehouses, laboratories, abattoirs, bakeries, subways, power stations, Engineering workshops etc.

APPLICABLE GUIDELINES: ACI 304, 305. SUPERTOP has been tested as per IS 1237-1980 and found test result shows that SUPERTOPP     improves the abrasion resistance of concrete by 255%

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:
Form .............................. Grey Powder
Hardness........................ 7 Moh's
Water absorption............ 6.0 to 6.5%
A. High compressive strength : SUPERTOP has a compressive strength of 75 N/MM 2 at 28 days
B. Light Reflectance: SUPERTOP can reduce the lighting requirement in industrial application and hence save energy costs in     long term.
.

Benefits

3. Forms monolithic bond with base concrete
4. Easy to use, factory controlled
5. Dust free, non slip surface
6. Resistant to Oil/Grease Spillages
7. Economical and very good finish
.

Application Guidelines

Method of use
Base Concrete : The base concrete should have minimum cement content of 300 kg/m 3 with water cement ratio being
kept to a minimum to produce zero slump. Particular care should be taken at bay edges. Dry Shake Method : SUPERTOP should be applied when the base concrete is sufficiently firm to take the weight of both workman and power float and leaving foot prints about 3 mm in depth no free water should be evident. Do not delay application when this point is
reached.
Broad Casting : Broad casting SUPERTOP in two equal stages: first apply at the rate of 3.5 kg/m2 by sprinkling
evenly on to the concrete surface carryout the first power trowel or hand trowel and then repeat the operation but brodcast the second stage at right angles to the first.
Finally when the sheen begins to leave the surface, carry out power trowelling to close the pores and completely level the surface. Do not over trowel.
Curing : Curing should be carried out immediately after the final trowelling operation has been completed.
