Application of SpECtop LFC
Surface Preparation:
It is essential that adequate preparation is carried out prior to the application of SpECtop LFC. Light sweep blasting is recommended to ensure the removal of all laitance, grease, and oil.
Priming:
The substrate must be primed using SpECtop LFC Primer at the rate of 5-7 m²/litre. On very porous substrates, it may be necessary to apply a second coat of primer if absorption is noted to be high. Allow the primer to become touch dry before proceeding.
Mixing Instructions:
Add approximately 50% of the liquid component to a clean 25-litre steel drum. Gradually add the powder whilst mixing using a slow-speed heavy-duty drill fitted with a suitable mixing paddle. Mix for 2 minutes, then slowly add the remaining liquid whilst mixing and continue for a further 2 minutes.
Application Process:
Pour the mixed product onto the primed substrate and spread using a squeegee or a pin screed. The material must then be rolled using a spiked roller with spikes of a length greater than the depth to be laid. There should be no delay between levelling the product and spike rolling. Troweling is not required.
Large Area Application:
For large areas, good site organization is essential, and the use of a grout pump may prove beneficial. SpEC Technical Department can advise on the types of pump available.
SpECtop LFC is available in the following packaging options:
– Two-component pack weighing 21.6 kg with a yield of 11 litres.
– SpECtop LFC Primer, supplied in 5 and 20 litre packs with a coverage rate of 5 m²/litre.
