Latex Modified Concrete Resurfacers - Edison Coatings, Inc.

DECK-TOP 47 and 47-RC are two-part, latex modified, concrete patching and resurfacing compounds designed for high-performance in thin-section topping applications. DECK-TOP applications of 1/8" to ¼" thickness withstand heavy vehicular traffic, impact and vibration without loss of adhesion or rapid wear.

Recommended Applications:

Resurfacing Scaled Concrete Floors, Decks and Ramps
Repair of Frost or Rain-Damaged Concrete
Repitching Decks and Terraces
Anti-Skid and Non-Slip Toppings
Wear-Resistant Toppings for Curves and Turn Areas

DECK-TOP 47 is a multi-purpose, superplasticized, acrylic latex modified patch/resurfacer.

DECK-TOP 47-RC Rapid Curing formula achieves high structural strengths in just 24 hours, for surfaces which must be reopened quickly to heavy traffic. It also through-cures efficiently in deep patches, due to integral chemical catalyzation.

Features:

High Strength: Products adhere tenaciously to concrete substrates, and offer high compressive, tensile, impact and flexural strengths.

Appearance: Excellent aesthetic results are achieved, whether Natural Grey or an optional Custom Color is selected. Fine, Ultra-Fine and Medium textures are available.

Versatility: A wide range of finishes, colors and working consistencies can be readily achieved. DECK-TOP overlayments are engineered for high strength, even when mixed to a relatively fluid consistency to facilitate installation. Additional material can be installed at any time.

Compatibility: DECK-TOP 47's thermal expansion and moisture vapor transmission characteristics assure that repairs will not crumble, delaminate, lose adhesion or cause damage to repaired or topped surfaces. DECK-TOP 47 and 47-RC contain no added chlorides.

Safety: DECK TOP 47 and 47-RC are virtually odorless, essentially non-toxic, non-flammable and free of corrosives, solvents, and toxic diluents or additives.

Durability:DECK-TOP 47 is exterior durable, UV insensitive, and highly resistant to salt, water and freeze-thaw. 47After

Properties:

Composition: Part A is a proprietary acrylic emulsion. Part B powders are blends of specialty cements, select graded aggregates, and organic and inorganic additives and admixtures. CAUTION!: Due to differences in composition, DECK-TOP 47 and 47-RC powders should not be mixed together or placed together. Products are mutually incompatible and will produce unreliable results when cross-contaminated.

Application:

For complete application instructions, refer to the Edison Coatings, Inc. Publication: "Specification for Preparation, Installation and Curing of DECK-TOP 47/47-RC Overlayments". The following are some general guidelines:

1. Surface Preparation: Remove all grease, oil, dirt, efflorescence, paints, curing compounds, sealers, crumbled or loosened concrete, or any other materials which may interfere with adhesion.

2. Application: Apply to damp surfaces free of standing excess liquid. Prime with water or DECK-TOP 47A Liquid. Priming liquid may be diluted 1:1 with water before application. Keep surfaces continuously damp for at least 20 minutes before application, to reduce substrate suction and improve bond. Avoid spills or runs onto surfaces which will not receive topping. Apply DECK-TOP 47/47-RC after liquid has turned from a milky emulsion to a clear film, but within 4 hours of primer application.

Thoroughly mix Parts A and B at the rate of 2/3 to ¾ gallons per 50-pound bag. Use "stiff" mixtures for prepatching, more fluid mixtures for resurfacing. Mix by slow speed drill mixer (250 rpm) or mortar mixer. Mix only as much material as will be applied within 15 minutes of mixing. Mix for 2 - 4 minutes to achieve a uniform consistency.

Placement may be by pump, screed, lute or spray. Distribute evenly and finish by trowel or broom. If required, to aid in finishing, wet tools with DECK-TOP 47A Liquid and mist surfaces lightly to overcome "dry" spots. Maximum workability is obtained immediately after placement. Do not overwork or retemper. Do not wet repeatedly or thin excessively.

Do not apply at temperatures below 50F (10C) or when temperatures are expected to fall below 50F (10C) within 12 hours of installation, or through-drying. Do not subject to freezing temperatures for 24 hours after installation. Drying and curing of DECK-TOP 47 is affected by temperature, humidity and air movement. DECK-TOP 47-RC chemically cures, even under damp conditions. In hot or windy conditions, delay drying by applying water mist, wet burlap or plastic sheet. Materials should be kept from drying for at least 3 hours after application. After this brief moist curing period, not to exceed 24 hours, materials must be allowed to dry cure. Continued wet curing may result in reduced strength and adhesion, although intermittent wet exposures such as rain or occasional spillage will not negatively affect strength.

Keep DECK-TOP 47-RC closed to heavy traffic for 24 hours. Light traffic is permissible, under moderate temperatures, after 8 hours. DECK-TOP 47 accepts light traffic in 12 - 24 hours. Heavy traffic should be avoided for 48 - 72 hours after installation.

Storage & Handling:

KEEP FROM FREEZING. Store powders in dry area, off the floor or ground. CAUTION!: Powders contain cement, which may be injurious to eyes and skin. Powders contain free silica, which may cause occupational lung disease. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheets supplied with this product for complete safety and handling information. wash

thoroughly with soap and warm water immediately after use and before eating, drinking or smoking. In case of eye contact, flush with clean water for 15 minutes, and get medical attention if irritation persists. Keep tools wet and clean continuously. Product will adhere tenaciously and resist water once dried. Keep containers covered when not in use.
