RESURFACER

DESCRIPTION:

Resurfacer is a conditioning compound manufactured from 100% acrylic resins fortified with specially selected reinforcing fibres, powders and aggregate fillers. Resurfacer is supplied in a preblended format.

PURPOSE

Resurfacer Black makes new, aged or worn asphalt new. Protects existing asphalt against further U.V. degradation. The application of Resurfacer Black over open or porous asphalt will seal the surface to provide a tough wear and weather resistant surface that preserves pavements and protects financial investments.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

a) NEW HOT-MIX ASPHALT - SURFACE COURSE: The asphalt surface course must meet or exceed either the Australian Standard AS 2734 or the U.S. Tennis Court and Track Builders applicable guidelines. b) NEW HOT-MIX ASPHALT – CURE: New hot-mix asphalt surfaces must be allowed to cure for a minimum of 14 days before the application of Resurfacer. c) WEATHERED AND PREVIOUSLY COLOURED SURFACES: The asphalt shall be structurally sound and in compliance with the appropriate standards for Tennis Court and Track Builders applicable guidelines. d) SURFACE CONDITION: The surface shall be thoroughly cleaned using a high pressure water cleaner to remove all dirt, dust, oil, grease, leaves and other debris. The surface shall be flooded with water to check for low areas. Vegetation of any sort must be removed to avoid any future damage to the base. Soft areas of asphalt or asphalt damaged by petroleum products such as diesel must be completely removed and replaced. Minor surface cracks may be filled with Resurfacer whereas larger cracks require treatment with Flexi-fill. Minor depressions up to 4mm may be leveled using a Resurfacer Black patching blend or 1 part Resurfacer, 1 part sand and 0.5 parts cement; whereas deeper depressions are best filled with a 3:1 sand, cement blend modified with Super M modifier. e) CONCRETE SURFACES: New concrete shall be allowed to cure for a minimum of 28 days. Although the majority of concrete substrates which require resurfacing will be old, new concrete may on occasion need resurfacing, for example rain damaged concrete. Whatever the reason, concrete must be cleaned with a combination of dilute acid and high pressure water blasting. The cleaned and dry concrete must be sealed with an application of SEALER-A before applying Resurfacer Black.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

Resurfacer Black is supplied In a concentrated form for dilution/extension on site with water. Simply add water to provide a slurry like consistency suitable for application by squeegee or broom approximately 20% water. The recommended blend being 4 parts Resurfacer Black to 1 part Water. MIXING VESSEL AND MIXER : VESSEL: Select a clean vessel capable of holding the desired volume of the mixture plus 20% eg. For 150 litre mix, select a vessel capable of holding 180 litres. A 200 litre open top drum is the ideal unit for a 150 litre mix. MIXER: Mechanical mixing using a slow speed stirrer of not more than 600rpm is the preferred mixing method. The Festo RW3E mixing unit fitted with helical (jiffy) paddle is the ideal unit. To the clean vessel add the desired volume of Resurfacer Black, then add water proportionately to ensure an easy blend.
