Application Notes

General
Dreitop® FH is a ready to use, non-metallic, floor and surface In the first case, i.e. existing concrete floors, the base concrete

The floors are rendered tough, wear resistant, dust free, The Screed layer should be 25-30mm thick and should have

Further Instructions / Precautions
Precautions Application on old concrete surface with an intermediate
o Dreitop® FH application should begin at the time when the Screed Layer
base concrete has reached initial set and has stiffened enough
to enable light foot traffic and leaves an impression of about 2-
3 mm.

o The bleed and surface water should have been evaporated.

Too early application will sink the aggregates and give rise to
dusting and too late application will not hydrate the binder of
Dreitop® FH thereby lowering the strengths.

o Curing is absolutely essential and can either be carried out by

conventional methods or by using membrane forming curing
compounds like Emcoril. Application on a new concrete base
o Treat areas adjacent to walls, columns and bay edges first.
Broadcasting of Dreitop® FH should be in perpendicular
directions in two operations.

o Since the grading of aggregates in Dreitop® FH plays

important role in the quality of the material as well as the
surface, always use in multiples of full packs. If in case
consumption of half or a part bag is called for, empty full bag,
mix thoroughly and use half contents
