Technical Data Sheet

Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing (formerly Ronadeck Fast Grip XP5)

Description Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is a resin bonded aggregate surfacing system for paths, car parks, drives, ramps, highways etc. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing produces a surface with the look of natural aggregate or stone but with aggregate which is firmly bonded to the surface. It is designed for use on concrete, asphalt, steel and timber surfaces, which require the application of a resin bonded aggregate, to provide some or all of the following:

• Decoration

• Slip/skid resistance

• Rapid cure

• Colour coding

• Safety

• Compliance with Disability Discrimination Act

• Minimal maintenance

• An alternative to loose aggregate and stone surfacing Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing provides surfaces for all types of traffic from paths to busy highways and provides excellent traction on surfaces, even when wet. It is designed to maximise slip/skid resistance. It has good adhesion to suitably prepared substrates, high abrasion and slip resistance values. Coloured aggregates cast into the top surface provide clear markings for safety and hazard areas. Natural aggregates are ideal for landscaping, driveways, paths, garden areas, car parks. Features

• Factories, chemical processing areas

• Showrooms

• Steps, slopes, car parks and ramps

• Marinas, jetties, sea walls, pond and lake surrounds

• Pedestrian crossings, roads, approaches to junctions System Selection The most appropriate system is determined by the performance required, e.g.

landscaping, highways, type of traffic, cleaning requirements etc. Refer to Tables 1, 5 & 6. Substrate Requirements

• Only apply to a suitable substrate. The best substrate is a well designed and constructed concrete, shot blasted to remove laitance.

• Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing can also be applied to properly constructed asphalt (see separate guide).

• Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing can be applied to dimensionally stable timber and metal surfaces which are clean, unpainted, untreated with oils or paints or other adhesion-limiting treatments.

• Only apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing to a substrate whose construction is known to be of sufficient stability and strength in compression and tension.

• Application to any other surface is likely to result in early failure.

• If you are unsure of the substrate and its ability to receive Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing, do not proceed.

• Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is a thin layer of 1mm to 4mm (approximately) depending on the system. It will therefore mirror and reflect any surface unevenness. Substrates should therefore be levelled or smoothed prior to application of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing to avoid this.

Contractors Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is a specialist product and must only be applied by specialist applicators. Do not apply or allow Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing to be applied by contractors who do not possess the necessary skills and experience. Temperature

• Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is a rapid setting and rapid curing product.

• The pot life and working time is severely affected by temperature including material, air and substrate temperature.

• Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing resin can be applied at a substrate temperature not exceeding 30oC.

• The temperature of concrete and tarmacadam will generally be higher than the air temperature. The temperature of the substrate must therefore be measured and monitored during application and work must stop when temperature is above 30oC.

• At low temperatures the resin will not flow sufficiently to achieve a smooth finish and work should not proceed when air, material or substrate temperature is below 5oC. Appearance and Expectations Because of the random size, grading and colour of the aggregate and the way it is cast, it is inevitable that the look and density of aggregate will vary across the surface. It is likely that in some areas there will be patches where more resin is visible. This is due to the nature of the product. Careful installation will reduce the variability but a uniform even surface with no visible resin showing should not be expected, neither can it be achieved. Some aggregate will be unbonded and temporarily locked into other aggregate, some stone will only be partially bonded. Shortly after installation and perhaps for several weeks or months, aggregate will shed from the surface and must be removed to prevent further aggregate loss. Loose stones are therefore to be expected and may be carried into buildings and vehicles on the soles of shoes. A combination of mechanical sweeping and vacuum removal is the best method for early removal of aggregate. Landscaping Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is an alternative to loose stone and gravel paths, driveways, pond and lake surrounds. Loose gravel can be untidy, creating mess, unnecessary dust and introducing a slip or trip hazard. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing bonds natural aggregate securely to suitable surfaces creating a gravel or stone appearance but without the associated mess and inconvenience. Heavy Duty Industrial Applications Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is designed to receive traffic from pedestrians and rubber wheeled vehicles. The very high point loading and shear imposed moving heavy vehicles with narrow wheels, especially those with steel or nylon wheels which may include some types and designs of fork trucks and pallet trucks, will damage the surface. In these locations the use of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing may not be suitable and site trials should

be conducted prior to large scale application. The Ronacrete Technical Department should also be consulted. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing “Coarse” Type bauxite aggregate should be used to improve physical resistance and durability. Always apply one or preferably two coats of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat to increase aggregate retention and to aid cleaning. Application Procedure Application Summary Prepare and test surface As necessary apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Scratch Coat to close open faced surfaces As necessary prime steel or timber Apply resin and aggregate Remove loose aggregate when cured Apply Seal Coat as required Surface Preparation Refer to “Substrate Requirements” on previous page It is essential that all substrates and surfaces onto which Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is being laid are properly designed and constructed, are structurally sound and stable and are suitable to receive Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing. Asphalt Substrates Asphalt is a flexible pavement material, it will flow, flex and move throughout it’s life and often suffer surface cracking. It should therefore be anticipated that cracks will also appear in Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing applied to asphalt. New asphalt on which Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is to be laid should have a PEN number below 100 and be not less than 2-3 weeks old prior to applying Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing. A higher level of PEN oil creates a softer, weaker, more flexible material which is more likely to result in cracking and potential failure of the installation. It is not uncommon for asphaltic surfaces to be badly formed, especially on domestic driveway and paths, and for this reason Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is best applied to structurally sound concrete or screed. This recommendation is not peculiar to Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing but relates to an industry wide awareness of potential problems associated with bituminous surfaces, which can apply to new and old materials. Closing the surface of open face asphalt When applying Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing to asphalt, Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is best applied to surfaces containing a larger aggregate, typically 6-10mm or larger. Any open textured surface should be filled with Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Scratch Coat, to minimise the amount of resin lost within the pores of the surface. Concrete or Ronafix screeds New concrete or screed should be at least 4 days old at 20oC. Allow additional curing at lower temperatures to allow the concrete or screed to develop sufficient compressive and tensile strength. Concrete or screed with a compressive strength in excess of 30N/mm2 and a tensile strength greater than 1.5N/mm2 is required to receive Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing. Protecting arrises and expansion joints To prevent mechanical damage to Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing at arrises, consider installing steel angles or nosings and applying the Ronadack Resin Bonded Surfacing up to the steel angle or nosing. Surface Moisture When using Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing the surface must be dry. Preparation of concrete and screed Lightly abrade concrete and screeds (e.g. by enclosed vacuum blasting) to remove laitance and to create a fine texture. Do not create depressions in the substrate which would cause the resin to pool or pond. As with the application of any coating, surfaces should be tested to BS8204 Part 3 1993 to determine their suitability to receive Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing.

Masking off Apply duct tape to drains, gullies, grates, manholes and brickwork to prevent accidental application of resin and aggregate. Do not use masking tape, incomplete adhesion will result in resin leakage. Unprotected surfaces may be bonded together by accident. Carefully remove tape after application of resin, to prevent adhesion of tape to the resin. [ A ] Application of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Scratch Coat After preparation apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Scratch Coat onto open faced concrete or blacktop to fill the matrix and reduce the porosity of open textured surfaces. This will improve wear characteristics, provide a more attractive finish and improve coverage of the Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing resin. Carry out surface preparation as described above. Using the edge of a trowel, scrape apply the Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Scratch Coat, to the prepared surface. Only apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Scratch Coat, as a scrape on / scrape off pore filler. Do not achieve any thickness on the surface. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler is not designed to form a screed. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Scratch Coat may be used with additional filler to produce a thin screed, see separate data sheet for details. If a thicker screed is needed, refer to the Ronacrete Technical Department. Allow Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Scratch Coat to cure for 1-2 hours at 20oC prior to application of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing. Refer to separate data sheets for full instructions. [ B ] Priming mild steel Apply one coat of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Primer as follows: Prepare the surface to remove contamination and to produce a lightly textured surface. Clean to remove oil, grease and airborne contaminants. Ensure surface is dry. Apply one coat of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Primer by brush or roller at approximately 6-8m² per litre to achieve a dry film thickness of approximately 15µ. Apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing resin once the primer is touch dry, typically 2 hours at 20°C. Reprime if the primer has been left uncoated for 24 hours. [ C ] Mixing and application of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing resin Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing resin is supplied as a two component product. Mix parts A and B separately to disperse any settlement then add Part B to Part A and thoroughly mix using a slow speed drill and paddle (500rpm) until a uniformly coloured, streak free product is obtained. Care should be taken to avoid using unmixed materials from the sides of the container. Once mixed, immediately pour the full contents onto the surface, to prevent excessive exothermic reaction, which will occur if the material is left in the mixing vessel. Spread to the required thickness using a short or medium pile roller, notched squeegee or notched trowel. Apply the resin at 0.8-1.5kg/m² depending on the size of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Aggregate being applied (a bigger aggregate will require more resin); see Table 2. No allowance has been made in the application rates for substrate texture. Immediately cast the required aggregate into the wet resin at the rates specified in Table 2 to totally cover the Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing resin. When working in hot conditions. The maximum aggregate particle size should not exceed 3mm. After approximately 4 hours at 20°C remove the excess aggregate. Apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat if required. Excess aggregate may be reused provided it remains dry and clean. Open up the area to traffic when the Seal Coat has cured.



Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing

[ E ] Application of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat 1. Apply the first coat of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat using a short nap roller at the rates shown in Table 2. Even and consistent application is essential. Uneven application will result in patchiness, variation in light reflection and differences in sheen. Careful attention must therefore be paid to coverage rates, film thickness and directional rolling. 2. If applying a single coat only, allow to cure for 2-5 hours then traffic. If applying a second coat allow the first coat to cure for at least 1 hour but not more than 24 hours. 3. Apply the second coat in the same manner as described in 1. above. 4. Allow to cure for 2-5 hours then traffic. 5. To reduce the cure time of Seal Coat add 1% Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat Catalyst. This will reduce the cure time and overcoat/traffic time by 50%. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat is available in two grades. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing UV is UV stable. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat LS will yellow after exposure to UV light. Differences between shaded and non-shaded areas will become apparent when using the LS version. Refer to separate data sheet. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat improves the retention of aggregate, reducing the amount which “picks out” from the surface, and also aids cleaning of the surface. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing surfaces which are coated with Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat will look different to those surfaces which are left unsealed. However the decision to apply or not apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat should not be made on the basis of appearance or cost, but on performance and expectation. Do not apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat if rain, fog or high humidity are expected within the cure times of the products. Refer to separate Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat data sheet. Properties Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing has good resistance to most commonly used dilute acids and alkalis, diesel and machine oils, petrol and water spillage. Applied correctly the tensile bond strength of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is greater than the cohesive strength of the concrete, or other suitable substrate. Aggregate Selection Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Aggregates have been selected based on their suitability for individual applications. Included is appearance, polished stone value and strength. Some aggregates are inherently weak and brittle and will therefore have been excluded from our selection. On balconies and walkways, for example, which will only be used by foot traffic, ultra fine or fine aggregate is suitable. A larger aggregate could be used although this may be regarded as too aggressive in texture. On vehicle trafficked surfaces, whilst the coarse or medium aggregates are recommended. The larger the stone, the longer it will last before it is worn away to such an extent that it no longer serves any useful purpose. Therefore the larger aggregates are recommended in these areas. Aggregate Colour and Shading The sourcing and processing of the natural and pigmented aggregates supplied with Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing cannot eliminate variability in their colour, shading and grading even though strict quality control measures are in place. We are therefore unable to guarantee that aggregates will be free from such variation and cannot accept any liability for any variation. If a floor surface with a more uniform colour, shade and texture is required we are able to offer alternative products and the advice of the Ronacrete Technical Department should be sought. Note that coloured aggregates are colour coated and will fade under UV light.

Wear resistance and durability Dependent on the system specified, the condition and performance of the substrate, the aggregate selected and the use of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat, applications can be expected to last up to 10 years when properly inspected and maintained. Performance is dependent on many factors, especially the aggregate, and it is recommended that only aggregates supplied by Ronacrete are used. Ronacrete are able to supply aggregates which may not be shown on charts or the standard price list and advice should be sought from the Ronacrete Technical Department. Cleaning A Xylene based solvent should be used for cleaning tools etc. Storage Store unopened in dry warehouse conditions away from frost and direct heat or sunlight in the temperature range 5°C – 25°C. Shelf life of unopened containers—Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing resin 7 months, Ronadeck Resin Bonded Pore Filler 9 months, Ronadeck Resin Bonded Seal Coat 6 months and Ronadeck Resin Bonded Primer 12 months. Health and Safety It is recommended that goggles, gloves, overalls and barrier cream are worn when working with Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. The efficiency of the ventilation must be monitored regularly because of the possibility of blockage. Keep stocks of decontaminant readily available. For full details, please refer to the appropriate Health and Safety Data Sheet. Coverage Note that coverage rates quoted are theoretical and based on application onto smooth non-porous surfaces; actual coverage rates can be assessed only by practical trials on representative areas of the structure and these are recommended in all situations, especially where surfaces are rough texture and / or porous. Site Attendance When on site Ronacrete representatives are able, if asked, to give a general indication of the correct method of installing a Ronacrete product. It is important to bear in mind that Ronacrete Ltd is a manufacturer and not an application contractor and it is therefore the responsibility of the contractor and his employer to ensure he is aware of and implements the correct practices and procedures to ensure the correct installation of the product and that liability for its correct installation lies with the contractor and not with Ronacrete Ltd.

Aggregates should be selected based on their suitability for the anticipated traffic, desired durability and appearance. The use of an inappropriate aggregate will result in early wearing of the aggregate, a reduction in slip resistance, loss of aggregate, “bald” areas and a less attractive appearance. Relatively smooth aggregates such as Sepia, should only be used in vehicle trafficked areas where traffic is light and no turning is envisaged.

Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade (formerly Ronadeck Fast Grip Standard)

Description Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade is a resin bonded aggregate surfacing system for paths, car parks, drives, ramps, roads etc. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade produces a surface with the appearance of natural aggregate or stone but with the aggregate firmly locked into the surface. It is designed for use on concrete, asphalt, steel and timber surfaces which require the application of a resin bonded aggregate to provide some or all of the following:

• Decoration

• Slip or skid resistance

• Rapid cure

• Colour coding

• Safety

• Compliance with Disability Discrimination Act

• Minimal maintenance

• An alternative to loose aggregate and stone surfacing Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade provides surfaces for all types of traffic from paths to busy highways and provides excellent traction on surfaces, even when wet. It is designed to maximise slip/skid resistance. It has good adhesion to suitably prepared substrates, high abrasion and slip resistance values. Coloured aggregates cast into the top surface provide clear markings for safety and hazard areas. Natural aggregates are ideal for landscaping, driveways, paths, garden areas, car parks. Features

• Decorative resin bonded aggregate surfacing

• Suitable for all types of traffic

• Provides positive traction

• Coloured finishes available

• Seal Coat for aggregate retention and stain resistance Uses

• Landscaping, gardens, driveways, footpaths

• Slip resistant surfacing on bridges, platforms, footbridges

• Balconies, common walkways

• Factories, chemical processing areas

• Showrooms

• Steps, slopes, car parks and ramps

• Marinas, jetties, sea walls, pond and lake surrounds

• Pedestrian crossings, roads, approaches to junctions System Selection The most appropriate system is determined by the performance required, e.g. landscaping, industrial, waterproofing, temperature at time of application, required speed of cure, degree of trafficking. Refer to Table 5.

Substrate Requirements

• Only apply to a suitable substrate.

• The best substrate is a well designed and constructed concrete.

• Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade can also be applied to properly constructed asphalt (see separate guide).

• Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade can be applied to dimensionally stable timber and metal surfaces which are clean, unpainted, untreated with oils or paints or other adhesion-limiting treatments.

• Only apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade to a substrate of sufficient stability and strength in compression and tension. Application to any other surface is likely to result in early failure.

• If you are unsure of the stability or strength of the substrate, do not proceed.

• Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is a thin layer of 1mm to 4mm (approximately) depending on aggregate choice. It will therefore mirror and reflect any surface unevenness. Substrates should therefore be levelled or smoothed prior to application of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing to ensure even wear and appearance.

Contractors

• Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade is a specialist product and must only be applied by specialist applicators.

• Do not apply or allow Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade to be applied by contractors who do not possess the necessary skills and experience.

Temperature

• Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing resins are rapid setting and rapid curing products.

• Their pot life and working time is severely affected by temperature including material, air and substrate temperature.

• At 25°C the pot life and working time of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade is insufficient to allow its proper application. Work with Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade must therefore not proceed when material, air or substrate temperatures exceed 25°C.

• The temperature of concrete and tarmacadam will generally be higher than the air temperature. The temperature of the substrate must therefore be measured and monitored during application and work must stop when temperature is above 25°C. At low temperatures the resin will not flow sufficiently to achieve a smooth finish and work should not proceed when air, material or substrate temperature is below 5oC.

Appearance and Expectations The grading and colour variation in the natural aggregate and the way it is cast, makes it inevitable that the appearance of the aggregate will vary slightly across the surface. It is also likely that in some areas there will be patches where more resin is visible. Again this is due to the nature of the product. Careful installation will reduce the variability but a uniform even surface with no visible resin showing should not be expected, neither can it be achieved. Some aggregate may detach from the surface or be partially locked into bonded aggregate, shortly after installation and perhaps for several weeks or months, aggregate will shed from the surface and must be removed. If left in place it may cause further aggregate to be detached from the resin, especially when combined with, for example, the turning motion of wheels. Loose stones are therefore to be expected and may be carried into buildings and vehicles on the soles of shoes. The use of stiff sweeping brushes combined with vacuum removal will speed the removal of loose aggregate. Landscaping Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade is an alternative to loose stone and gravel paths, driveways, pond and lake surrounds. Loose gravel can be untidy, creating mess, unnecessary dust and introducing a slip or trip hazard. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade bonds natural aggregate securely to suitable surfaces, creating a gravel or stone appearance but without the associated mess and inconvenience.

Technical Data Sheet

Heavy Duty Industrial Applications Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade is designed to receive all types of traffic. The very high point loading imposed by heavy static loads and moving heavy vehicles with narrow wheels, especially those with steel or nylon wheels, which may include some types and designs of fork trucks and pallet trucks, will, in time, damage the surface. In these locations the use of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade may not be suitable and site trials should be conducted prior to large scale application. The Ronacrete Technical Department should also be consulted. When being installed in these areas, Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing “Coarse” Type bauxite aggregate should be used to improve physical resistance and durability. Always apply one or preferably two coats of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat to improve aggregate retention and to aid cleaning. Application Summary 1. Prepare and test surface 2. As necessary apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Pore Filler or Scratch Coat to

close open faced surfaces 3. Prime steel or timber 4. Apply resin and aggregate 5. Sweep off when cured 6. Apply Seal Coat as required Surface Preparation Refer to “Substrate Requirements” on previous page It is essential that all substrates and surfaces onto which Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade is being laid are properly designed and constructed, are structurally sound and stable and are suitable to receive Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing. Asphalt Asphalt is a ‘flexible pavement’ it will flow, flex and move throughout its life and will often crack. It should therefore be anticipated that cracks will also appear in Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade applied to such a substrate. New asphalt on which Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade is to be laid should have a PEN number below 100 and be not less than 2-3 weeks old prior to applying Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade . A higher level of PEN oil creates a softer, weaker, more flexible blacktop which is more likely to result in cracking and potential failure of the installation. It is not uncommon for asphaltic surfaces to be badly formed, especially on domestic driveway and paths, and for this reason Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is best applied to structurally sound concrete or screed. This recommendation is not particular to Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing, there is an industry wide awareness of potential problems associated with asphaltic surfaces, which can apply to new and old surfaces. Closing the surface of open face asphalt When applying Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing to asphalt, Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing is best applied to a surface which contains a larger aggregate (typically 6-10mm), open textured surfaces should be filled with Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Scratch Coat, to minimise the amount of resin lost within the pores of the asphalt surface. Concrete or Ronafix screeds New concrete or screed should be at least 4 days old at 20oC. Allow additional curing at lower temperatures to allow the concrete or screed to develop sufficient compressive and tensile strength. Concrete or screed with a compressive strength in excess of 30N/mm2 and a tensile strength greater than 1.5N/mm2 is required to receive Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing. Protecting arrises and expansion joints To prevent mechanical damage to Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing at the leading edge of arrises, consider installing steel angles or nosings and applying the Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing up to the leading edge of the steel angle or nosing.

Wet, damp, dry surfaces When using Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade, porous surfaces may be damp but free of excess water. For all other grades of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing resin the surface must be dry. Preparation of concrete and screed Lightly abrade concrete and screeds (e.g. by enclosed vacuum blasting) to remove laitance and to create a fine texture. Do not create depressions in the substrate which would cause the resin to pool or pond. As with the application of any coating, surfaces should be tested to BS8204 Part 3 1993 to determine their suitability to receive Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing. Masking off Apply duct tape to drains, gullies, grates, manholes and brickwork to prevent accidental application of resin and aggregate. Do not use masking tape, incomplete adhesion of tape will allow resin leakage. Unprotected surfaces may be bonded together by accident. Carefully remove tape after application of aggregate, to avoid adhesion to the resin. [ A ] Application of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Scratch Coat After preparation apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Scratch Coat onto open faced concrete or asphalt to fill the matrix and reduce the porosity of open textured surfaces. This will provide a more attractive finish, improve wear characteristics and improve coverage of the Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing resin. Carry out surface preparation as described above. Using the edge of a trowel, scrape apply the Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Scratch Coat, to the prepared surface. Only apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Scratch Coat, as a scrape on / scrape off pore filler. Do not achieve any thickness on the surface. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler is not designed to form a screed. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Scratch Coat may be used with additional filler to produce a thin screed, see separate data sheet for details. If a thicker screed is needed, refer to the Ronacrete Technical Department. Allow Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Pore Filler or Ronadeck Scratch Coat to cure for 1-2 hours at 20oC prior to application of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade Resin. Refer to separate data sheets for full instructions. [ B ] Priming mild steel Apply one coat of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Primer as follows: Prepare the surface to remove contamination and to produce a lightly textured surface. Clean to remove oil, grease and airborne contaminants. Ensure surface is dry. Apply one coat of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Primer by brush or roller at approximately 6-8m² per litre to achieve a dry film thickness of approximately 15µ. Apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade once the primer is touch dry, typically 2 hours at 20°C. Re-prime if the primer has been left uncoated for more than 24 hours. [ C ] Mixing and application of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade Resin Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade Resin is supplied as a 3 component resin. Using a slow speed drill and helical paddle mixer stir component ’A’ for 1-2 minutes to disperse any settlement then add the full volume of the other two components. Continue to stir until uniformly coloured and streak free. This should take no more than a further 30 seconds to 1 minute with a slow speed drill and paddle, mixing at 300 - 500rpm). The mixed material will remain mobile and liquid for approximately 10 minutes (at 20oC) within which time the material must be applied. The resin must be emptied onto the surface to be treated immediately after mixing, failure to do so will shorten the open time of the resin. Spread to the required thickness using a short or medium pile roller, notched squeegee or notched trowel. Particularly in cooler conditions, when using a notched squeegee or trowel, the notch marks will remain and back rolling will be required.



Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade

1. Apply the resin at 1.0-1.8kg/m² depending on the size of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Aggregate being applied (a bigger aggregate will require more resin); see Table 2. No allowance has been made in the application rates for substrate texture. Immediately and within 5 minutes of mixing the resin, cast the required aggregate into the wet resin at the rates specified in Table 2 to totally cover the Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade Resin.

2. After approximately 2 hours at 20°C sweep or vacuum the excess aggregate. Apply Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat if required. Excess aggregate may be reused provided it remains dry and clean. Open up the area to traffic when the Seal Coat has cured.

[ D ] Application of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat 1. Apply the first coat of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat using a

short nap roller at the rates shown in Table 2. Even and consistent application is essential. Uneven application will result in patchiness, variation in light reflection and differences in sheen. Careful attention must therefore be paid to coverage rates, film thickness and directional rolling.

2. If applying a single coat only, allow to cure for 2-5 hours then traffic. If applying a second coat allow the first coat to cure for at least 1 hour but not more than 24 hours.

3. Apply the second coat in the same manner as described in 1. above. 4. Allow to cure for 2-5 hours then traffic. 5. To reduce the cure time of Seal Coat add 1% Ronadeck Resin Bonded

Surfacing Seal Coat Catalyst. This will reduce the cure time and overcoat/traffic time by 50%.

Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat is available in two grades. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing UV is UV stable. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat LS will yellow after exposure to UV light. Differences between shaded and non-shaded areas will become apparent when using the LS version. Refer to separate data sheet. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat improves the retention of aggregate, reducing the amount which “picks out” from the surface, and also aids cleaning of the surface. Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing surfaces which are coated with Seal Coat will look different to those surfaces which are left unsealed. The decision to apply or not apply Seal Coat should not be made on the basis of appearance or cost, but on performance. Do not apply Seal Coat if rain, fog or high humidity are expected within the cure times of the products. Refer to separate Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat data sheet. Properties Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade has good resistance to most commonly used dilute acids and alkalis, diesel and machine oils, petrol and water spillage. Applied correctly the tensile bond strength of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade is greater than the cohesive strength of the concrete, or other suitable substrate. Aggregate Selection Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Aggregates have been selected based on their suitability for individual applications. Included is appearance, polished stone value and strength. Some aggregates are inherently weak and brittle and will therefore have been excluded from our selection. On balconies and walkways, for example, which will only be used by foot traffic, ultra fine or fine aggregate is suitable. A larger aggregate could be used although this may be regarding as too aggressive in texture. On vehicle trafficked surfaces, the coarse or medium aggregates are recommended. The larger the stone, the longer it will last before it is worn away to such an extent that it no longer serves any useful purpose. Therefore the larger aggregates are recommended in these areas. Aggregate Colour and Shading The sourcing and processing of the natural and pigmented aggregates supplied with Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Winter Grade cannot eliminate variability in their colour, shading and grading even though strict quality

control measures are in place. We are therefore unable to guarantee that aggregates will be free from such variation and cannot accept any liability for any variation. If a floor surface with a more uniform colour, shade and texture is required we are able to offer alternative products and the advice of the Ronacrete Technical Department should be sought. Note that coloured aggregates are colour coated and will fade under UV light. Wear resistance and durability Dependent on the system specified, the condition and performance of the substrate, the aggregate selected and the use of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat, applications can be expected to last up to 10 years when properly inspected and maintained. Performance is dependent on many factors, especially the aggregate, and it is recommended that only aggregates supplied by Ronacrete are used. Ronacrete are able to supply aggregates which may not be shown on charts or the standard price list and advice should be sought from the Ronacrete Technical Department. Cleaning A Xylene based solvent should be used for cleaning tools etc. Storage Store unopened in dry warehouse conditions away from frost and direct heat or sunlight in the temperature range 5°C – 25°C. Shelf life of unopened containers are, approximately, Winter Grade Resin—4 months, Pore Filler—9 months, Seal Coat— 6 months and Primer— 12 months. Health and Safety It is recommended that goggles, gloves, overalls and barrier cream are worn when working with Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. The efficiency of the ventilation must be monitored regularly because of the possibility of blockage. Keep stocks of decontaminant readily available. For full details, please refer to the appropriate Health and Safety Data Sheet. Coverage Note that coverage rates quoted are theoretical and based on application onto smooth non-porous surfaces; actual coverage rates can be assessed only by practical trials on representative areas of the structure and these are recommended in all situations, especially where surfaces are rough texture and / or porous. Site Attendance When on site Ronacrete representatives are able, if asked, to give a general indication of the correct method of installing a Ronacrete product. It is important to bear in mind that Ronacrete Ltd is a manufacturer and not an application contractor and it is therefore the responsibility of the contractor and his employer to ensure he is aware of and implements the correct practices and procedures to ensure the correct installation of the product and that liability for its correct installation lies with the contractor and not with Ronacrete Ltd.

Aggregates should be selected based on their suitability for the anticipated traffic, desired durability and appearance. The use of an inappropriate aggregate will result in early wearing of the aggregate, a reduction in slip resistance, loss of aggregate, “bald” areas and a less attractive appearance. Relatively smooth aggregates such as Sepia, should only be used in vehicle trafficked areas where traffic is light and no turning is envisaged.

Coverage Note that coverage rates quoted are theoretical and based on application onto smooth non-porous surfaces; actual coverage rates can be assessed only by practical trials on representative areas of the structure and these are recommended in all situations, especially where surfaces are rough

texture and / or porous.

* Coverage of Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Seal Coat is dependent on material and ambient temperature together with aggregate size, porosity and the depth to which the aggregate has sunk in to the Ronadeck Resin Bonded Surfacing Resin Winter Grade. Accurate coverage rates can therefore only be

determined by a site trial.

Note: Typically, approximately 20% - 30% of the aggregate may be recovered,

and re-used provided clean and dry.
