Application of SpECtop TE5
Preparation:
It is essential that adequate preparation is carried out prior to the application of SpECtop TE5. Grit blasting is recommended and must result in the removal of all laitance, grease, and oil. The resultant surface should be dry and dust free.
Priming:
The prepared surface should be primed with SpECtop Primer F1. The mixed primer should be applied to the prepared substrate using a stiff brush at a coverage rate of 10-15m²/litre. If the primer appears to be absorbed into the surface easily, it will be necessary to apply a second coat once the initial coat is tack-free.
Application:
Spread the mixed product onto the tacky primer using a wooden float to achieve a uniform thickness. SpECtop TE5 can be laid at a thickness range of between 3-10mm, typically at 5mm. The wooden float should be used for initial leveling and smoothing of the screed to ensure that the surface remains open to allow air release during compaction. Once levels and compaction are achieved, a steel float should be applied to provide the final sealed surface.
Mixing:
SpECtop TE5 is supplied as a three-component kit consisting of a base component, a curing agent, and a bag of selected aggregate. Both liquid components should be briefly stirred to ensure that any settled products are fully suspended before mixing.

SpECtop TE5 is available in convenient packaging options to suit various project requirements:
