Solacoat Heat Reflective Non-Slip Waterproof Pavement Coating

The Solacoat Heat Reflective & Non-Slip & Waterproof Pavement Coating system consists of Solacoat Pre-Mixed Pavement Coating then to be added by Applicator 10% weight/ volume (i.e. 1½ kg “ivory off-white Portland cement” per 15 litre pail) for pedestrian traffic and light, low speed vehicle traffic and, where necessary, a Solacoat Pavement Sealer. For high usage, heavy vehicles at low speed the quantity of “ivory off white Portland cement” is increased to 15% weight/volume i.e. 2.25 kg per 15-litre pail.

The coating system of Solacoat Pavement Coating mixed with “ivory off-white cement” MUST be applied in order to achieve the coating life and temperature reduction benefits. Ordinary Grey Portland cement will alter the colour and will NOT give the envisaged heat temperature reductions.

Is an Ideal alternative for waterproofing Concrete/Cement Roofing.

Features

• Excellent adhesion to correctly prepared substrates
• One pack convenience. Customer to supply own Ivory/off white Portland cement.
• Rapid drying
• Water based coating system – environmentally friendly
• Excellent non slip characteristics in either wet or dry conditions
• May be used indoors or outdoors.
• Solacoat Heat Reflective & Non-Slip & Waterproof Pavement Coating is available in any of our colour ranges.
• Low heat absorption characteristics therefore lower surrounding temperature environments under the “Heat Island” effect.
• Is also an alternative for waterproofing Concrete-Cement roofing.

Application

Pedestrian areas

To the clean, dry prepared surface apply one (1) coat of Solacoat Pavement Coatings mixed with “ivory off-white Portland cement” added at a rate of 1½ kg per 15 litres of Solacoat Heat Reflective & Non-Slip & Waterproof Pavement Coating, by hopper spray gun having a 4 or 6 mm nozzle or appropriate Industrial medium textured roller. A continuous coating must be applied in a consistent manner at a spreading rate of 2½ – 3m2 per litre. The coated area may be trowelled off, broom finished etc by a second person working in tandem with the applicator. It is recommended, that one applies one coat of our CP Primer to seal the surface, especially if the surface has absorb moisture over its life.

Heavy vehicle areas

To the clean, dry prepared surface apply one (1) coat of Solacoat Pavement Coatings mixed with “ivory off-white Portland cement” added at a rate of 2.25 kg per 15 litres of Solacoat Heat Reflective & Non-Slip & Waterproof Pavement Coating by hopper spray gun having a 4 or 6 mm nozzle or appropriate Industrial medium roller. A continuous coating must be applied in a consistent manner at a spreading rate of 1m2 per litre. The coated area may be trowelled off, broom finished etc by a second person working in tandem with the applicator.

Solacoat Clear Sealer for Solacoat Pavement coatings must be applied to assist in spoilage removal for black heel marking, tyre marking and potential oil droppings. Regular cleaning of affected areas may be required so as to maintain maximum heat minimisation benefits.

Paver blocks/ cobblestone areas

Where these substrate materials are used and the gaps between has been filled with dry sand, sand mixed with a low quantity of cement or low strength concrete then the complete area needs to have a Solacoat bonding sealer applied prior to application.

NOTE: None of these coatings will upgrade a low performance substrate to a high performance surface suitable for traffic/usage conditions more than what the original substrate was designed for. The substrate and foundation bases must be capable in design and condition to support the perceived usage traffic requirements.

NOTE: Do not apply coatings to hot surfaces. Surfaces above 40°C (or where the back of one’s hand cannot be rested comfortably on the surfaces for at least 20 seconds) are too hot for coating. Cracking or other coating problems may arise if application is made to hot surfaces or where excessive windy conditions exist during application.

Coverage

Pedestrian/ light vehicle traffic areas

Solacoat Heat Reflective & Non-Slip & Waterproof Pavement Coating:
approximately 2½ – 3 m2 / litre

Solacoat Clear Sealer:
approximately 4 – 7 m2 / litre

Heavy vehicle areas

Solacoat Heat Reflective & Non-Slip & Waterproof Pavement Coating:
approximately 0.8 -1.0 m2 / litre

Allowance to be made for surface irregularities and application loses.

Drying

• Touch dry: Approximately 40 minutes
• Working time of mix is around 40 – 60 minutes depending on temperature etc.

Solacoat Pavement coatings may be walked on after 24 hours and subjected to low speed, light vehicular traffic after 3 days under good drying conditions. Heavy vehicles i.e. large trucks, planes etc subject to low speed traffic after 7 days under good drying conditions.
