Xypex Restora-Top

Restora-Top 100 Restora-Top 200

RESTORA-TOP 50

XYPEX RESTORA-TOP 50 is used for the patching or resurfacing of deteriorated concrete up to 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick. It is used on surfaces where light traffic conditions exist. Xypex Restora-Top 50 consists of specially modified portland cement, aggregates, admixtures and bonding agents combined in controlled proportions to provide excellent adhesion properties as well as reduced shrinkage.

RECOMMENDED FOR:

Concrete Floors
Driveways
Decks
Patios
Steps
Walkways
Curbs
Rain Damaged Slabs
Levelling Course for Thin Set Mortars

ADVANTAGES

Excellent adhesion to existing concrete surfaces
Easy to use - just add water and mix
Approximately 30 minutes working time
Contains an integral bonding agent
Moist curing is not normally required
Ready for foot traffic in about 2.5 hours
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
VOC compliant

LIMITATIONS
Restora-Top 50 should not be mixed and placed at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) or above 80°F (27°C). Protection from direct sunlight is desirable under hot or windy conditions. Restora-Top 50 contains a polymer additive to enhance bond. To achieve maximum bond strength, the polymer must be allowed to dry out after the initial setting and curing period. Avoid immersion prior to full curing of Restora-Top 50.

PACKAGING
Xypex Restora-Top 50 is available in 55 lb. (25 kg) bags.

STORAGE
Xypex products must be stored dry at a minimum temperature of 45°F (7°C).

COVERAGE
At 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) thickness, each 55 lb. (25 kg) bag of Restora-Top 50 will cover 24.8 sq. ft. (2.4 m2). For brush or broom applications, the yield will vary with the thickness and texture required. Each 55 lb. (25 kg) bag will cover an area of approximately 105 - 115 sq. ft. (10 - 11 m2) for a brush or broom application.

Note: Bond strength was determined by direct tensile loading of Restora-Top 50 which had been applied by trowel to a fully cured concrete slab at an average thickness of 1/2 in. (12 mm).

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Remove all laitance, dirt, films, paint, coatings and other foreign matter.
Saturate concrete with clean water. Remove any excess surface water and allow surface to partially dry.
Place dry powder in a clean mixing container and add water to reach the desired consistency. For trowel application, add 0.936 U.S. gallons (3.6 litres) of water per each 55 lb. (25 kg) bag of powder. For brush or broom applications add extra water (approximately 1.5 pints / 700 ml) per 55 lb. (25 kg) bag of powder. Do not mix more Restora-Top 50 than can be applied in 30 minutes.
When trowel applying (max. 1/2 in./12 mm thick), work a thin layer into the surface as a primer coat, then build up to the desired thickness and trowel to the desired finish. Avoid over-trowelling. If the thickness is greater than 1/2 in. (12 mm), apply in 1/2 in. (12 mm) layers allowing each layer to cure overnight.
When broom applying, first work Restora-Top 50 into the surface with a stiff bristle broom before lightly brooming to obtain an even surface texture.

CURING
Because of the bonding and water retaining agents included in the mix, Restora-Top 50 does not normally require moist curing or protection. However, when applied in hot or windy conditions, Restora-Top 50 may require protection from rapid moisture loss by lightly spraying with water as necessary or by covering with a sheet of plastic.

RESTORA-TOP 100

XYPEX RESTORA-TOP 100 is used for patches up to one inch (25 mm) thick where rapid setting and strength gain are required. Restora-Top 100 consists of specially modified portland cement, aggregates, polypropylene fibers, and admixtures combined in controlled proportions. This compound provides excellent adhesion properties, rapid setting and strength gain as well as superior durability and reduced shrinkage.

Warehouse Floors
Bridge Decks
Roads

ADVANTAGES

LIMITATIONS
Restora-Top 100 should not be mixed and placed at temperatures below 37°F (3°C) or above 86°F (30°C). Protection from direct sunlight is desirable under hot or windy conditions. Use only as a patching or filling material.

PACKAGING
Xypex Restora-Top 100 is available in 55lh (25 kg) bags.

STORAGE
Xypex products must be stored dry at a minimum temperature of 45°F (l°C).

COVERAGE
At one inch (25 mm) thickness, each 55 lb. (25 kg) bag of Restora-Top 100 will cover approximately 5.7 sq. f1. (0.52 m2).

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Remove loose or unsound concrete by chipping, saw cutting, or other mechanical means. It is preferable to have a minimum repair thickness of 1/2 in. (12 mm) with square cut edges. Feather edging is not recommended.
Remove dust and foreign material from the repair area.
Saturate the repair area with water. Just as the concrete surface becomes dry, place the Restora-Top 100 material.
Add approximately 3/4 of the required water to the mixing container (0.39 US gallons / 1.5 liters of water is usually sufficient at this stage for each 55 lb. /25 kg bag of product). While mixing, gradually add the Restora-Top 100 powder to the water. Add more water as required to obtain the desired consistency: Do not exceed 0.86 U.S. gallons (3.3 litres) of water per 55 lb. (25 kg) bag of Restora-Top 100.
Mix until thoroughly blended and until required consistency has been obtained. Normally; a 2 minute mixing time is adequate. If the Restora-Top begins to harden or set, discard the mix. Do not add more water to the mixing container.
Place the mixed material as rapidly as possible and work the mix well into the prepared concrete surface to ensure freedom from voids and to obtain proper bonding.
Complete finishing operations as quickly as possible and be sure to clean the mixing container between batches. Partially set material in the mixer can accelerate the setting of subsequent batches.

CURING

After final set, moist curing of Restora-Top 100 for 24 hours is recommended.
In hot, dry or windy weather conditions, apply curing compound to the repaired area as soon as the RestoraTop material has set.
Protect from freezing for the first 24 hours, and protect from temperatures below 27°F (-3°C) for 72 hours.
