SpECtop PE5

SpECtop PE5 is designed for a variety of applications requiring robust protective surfacing:

• Ro/Ro link spans
  
• Ship and oil/gas platforms
  
• Helicopter decks
  
• Car parks
  
• Walkways
  
• Industrial workshops
  
• Heavy plant/cargo handling areas
  

SpECtop PE5 offers numerous benefits that make it an ideal choice for protective surfacing in demanding environments:

• Extremely hard wearing
  
• Flexible
  
• Chemical resistant
  
• Non-slip, provides anti-skid surfacing
  
• Waterproof
  
• Excellent adhesion to steel, concrete, asphalt
  
• Solvent free to minimize disruption
  
• Resistant to flame spread
  
• UV resistant when dressed with recommended surface dressing aggregate
  

The technical specifications of SpECtop PE5 highlight its exceptional performance and durability:

The application of SpECtop PE5 requires careful preparation and adherence to guidelines to achieve optimal performance:

It is essential that the substrate surfaces are correctly prepared prior to application. All substrates must be sound and free from contamination with oil, grease, and other matter. Any oil or grease contamination must be removed completely by scabbling or shot-blasting the contaminated areas to provide a clean substrate. Laitance should be removed by blasting, grinding, or light scabbling.

Concrete surfaces must be primed with SpECtop Primer F1. The primer must be allowed to become tack-free before applying SpECtop PE5.

When applying to steel work, the surface should be cleaned to a bright metal finish by grit blasting. An angular profile amplitude of at least 75 microns is recommended. SpECtop Primer F1 should be used prior to the application of SpECtop PE5.

SpECtop PE5 can be applied directly onto asphalt substrates without the need for primer. The asphalt should be at least 3 months old, clean, dry, and sound. The asphalt should be lightly grit blasted to remove any weakly bonded or contaminated material to provide a sound substrate.

For wood substrates, the surface must be clean, dry, and dust-free. No priming is required.

SpECtop PE5 should be poured onto the previously primed substrate and spread to the required thickness using a serrated steel trowel or squeegee. It is essential to spread the material in a uniform even application without over-working. The surface dressing aggregate (SpECtop Armourite Grain) should be broadcast across the surface within 5 minutes of application.

SpECtop PE5 should be left to cure for at least 24 hours @ 20°C before all excess, unbound aggregate is brushed from the surface.
