TopStop
Complementary Chemicals
special nonskid filler
TopStop is a supplementary product for the TopStone® system.
Functions:
• Special anti-skid filler for higher safety when moving on the Top-Stone® surface.
Possible applications:
• both exterior and interior, for all kinds of TOPSTONE® system surfaces,
especially the stairs, permanently wet areas, etc.
• Please note that the surface (especially in interiors) can make cleaning using the classical method (wiping) more difficult
Advantages:
• safer movement
• long life
• good maintenance compared to other nonskid systems
• walkable barefoot
Characteristics:
• Special non-reactive addition with round grains
Workability data:
Based on the use in the TopStone® or TopVital surface
Packaging and coverage:
The consumption of the material listed here may vary depending on the specific conditions and application.
0.5 kg up to 10 m2
3 kg about 60 m2
Storage:
At temperatures > +12°C < +25°C, in a dry place in the original packaging. For warranty period see details on the packaging.
Instructions for Use:
There two ways of adding the nonskid filler:
a. when laying the TopStone® surface, scatter the TopStop by throwing it evenly into the air above the surface that needs to be roughen (as soon as possible after laying TopStone®), and allowing to fall freely (consumption 50 g/m2, based on
the desired roughness).
b. later, on the finished TopStone® surface using the TopVital material:
1. Substrate Preparation - remove all incoherent parts, clean the surface with high-pressure water, brush, vacuum cleaner, etc., degrease as necessary using technical acetone.
Preparation of tools - container for mixing the two components of the binder according to the instructions, mixer, paint roller (velor, nylon surface with short bristles), or a brush.
2. Thoroughly mix the two components of TopVital using a slow-turning mixer for 3 minutes.
3. Apply the mixed TopVital on the prepared clean and dry surface with a roller or brush (apply the material within 40 minutes at 20°C).
4. Scatter the TopStop into the uncured surface by throwing it evenly into the air above the surface that needs to be roughen (as soon as possible after applying the TopVital coating), and allowing to fall freely (consumption 50g/m2, based on
the desired roughness).
