Installation Guide

Curing Time
This product will normally cure in 4 - 5 hours at 15°C to accept light foot traffic. Full chemical and wear resistance is achieved over 5 days (at a minimum constant temp of 15°C). Water should not be allowed to lie on the surface for at least 7 days. Avoid washing the surface for 7 days after coating.

Surface Preparation
New concrete should be at least 21 - 28 days old or the moisture less than 5%. The substrate should be clean, free from laitance, oil, grease or other agents which may impair adhesion. Techniques should include one or more of the following, depending on how contaminated the substrate is:- acid etching - light mechanical scabbling - blasting - grinding or degreasing.
In order to ensure the finished system remains fully bonded to the subfloor, it is recommended that the edges of the floor area adjoining the walls are rebated to produce a cross-section of 20mm deep by 8mm wide, running at 150mm from and parallel with the walls.

Priming
Floors must be thoroughly sealed with Richco PU Primer prior to the application of Richco PU Catering Screed.

Mixing
Richco PU Catering Screed is a three-component product. Pre-mixing of the coloured liquid resin component is recommended to ensure any light settlement is reincorporated. Thoroughly drain the contents of the brown hardener component into the liquid colour Component and mix for a minimum of 1 minute or until a homogeneous mix is obtained. The resultant resin blend should then be loaded into a rotary drum mixer eg. Creatangle, Pennine or danes or any other reputable forced action mixer. The aggregate component can then be added in stages, mixing until a lump-free, smooth mix is obtained.

Application
Apply to pre-primed areas and level with a pin rake as necessary and lightly touch up with a steel float.
