Guide for Application
Preparation
Base concrete should have a minimum cement content of 350 Kg/m3. Concrete mix should be designed to minimize segregation and bleeding.
Base concrete should be compacted in accordance with good concrete practice.
Application
The rate of POLYFLOOR METAL should be determined. It mainly depends on the rate of expected traffic; (light - medium - heavy).
Start applying POLYFLOOR METAL when foot step leaves an imprint of 3 mm. on the concrete.
Apply the first application of POLYFLOOR METAL by spreading 2/3 of the specified quantity on the concrete surface.
Float the concrete surface with a wooden float or a mechanical power float.
Spread the remaining of POLYFLOOR METAL over the concrete surface, then float again as before after the absence of sheen water (after one hour @25°C)
Note: POLYFLOOR METAL is supplied ready to use on site, never add cement or aggregates to the product.
Curing
We recommend the use of POLYCURE WB I to cure concrete surfaces immediately after trawling. (See separate data sheet)
Cleaning
Tools should be cleaned immediately with water after use.

Coverage
3 Kg/m2 for light traffic.
5 Kg /m2 for medium traffic.
7 Kg/m2 for heavy traffic
