Uses
Properties
Cemtop HD is a levelling product which provides a rapid

setting trafficable cementitious floor for new and
reinstatement applications. When overcoated is suitable
for areas subject to chemical or hydrocarbon attack.
Typical applications would include:

Design criteria
Simple installation - pour and spread technique

allows large areas of floor to be covered very quickly.
Cemtop HD can be applied to both concrete substrates

and sound, sand:cement screeds.
Highly durable - produces a hard wearing surface,

with exceptionally good impact resistance.
The relative humidity of the substrate should not

exceed 80% at the time of application.
Versatile - can be applied in thicknesses of 4mm to 12

mm, using a pump or by hand.
When installed, the product will follow the existing floor

gradient.
Consistent performance - single pack eliminates

need for site batched screeds, can be applied directly
to concrete.
New concrete floors should be at least 21 days old,

prior to application of Cemtop HD.
Specially formulated for use in Middle East conditions.
The substrate onto which the Cemtop HD is to be applied

must be generally clean, sound and free from oil, grease
and other contaminants.
Description
Cemtop HD is a blend of selected cements, graded
aggregates, polymers and flow agents. It is supplied as a
dry, grey powder which requires only the addition of water
to produce a self smoothing, free flowing material. Cemtop
HD may be applied either by hand, or via the use of a
continuous mixer pump.
Instructions for use

New concrete floors
These should normally have been placed for at least 21
days and have a moisture content of less than 5%. Floors
should be sound and free from contamination such as oil
and grease, mortar and paint splashes or curing
compound residues.
Specification
The cementitious floor underlay shall be Cemtop HD by
Fosroc. At 28 days the material should achieve a
compressive strength of not less than 35 N/mm2, and an
A rating for the BRE (BS 8204) test for Impact
Resistance. The floor shall be prepared and the product
mixed and applied in accordance with the manufacturer's
current data sheet.
Excessive laitence can be removed by light mechanical

scabbling, grinding or grit blasting. Light laitence can be
removed by grinding or blasting and then by vacuum
cleaning.

Cleaning
Where deep seated contamination has occurred,

mechanical methods such as blasting, grinding or
scabbling should be used to provide a suitable clean
surface. Any necessary repairs should be carried out
using Renderoc SXtra.
Tools and equipment should be cleaned immediately by

flushing with water. Cured material can only be removed
by mechanical means.
Hot weather working
Priming
It is suggested that, for temperatures above 35C, the

following guidelines are adopted as good working practice:
The substrate should be primed in order to prevent air

release and to provide a bond for the Cemtop HD. Priming
is achieved by coating the floor with a solution of Nitobond
PVA diluted 1:1 with potable water. If, after treatment an
even sheen is not evident on the floor an additional
application of primer should be made.
(i) Store unmixed materials in a cool (preferably

temperature
controlled)
environment,
avoiding
exposure to direct sunlight.
(ii) Keep equipment cool, arranging shade protection if
necessary. It is especially important to keep cool those
surfaces of the equipment which will come into direct
contact with the material itself.
Installation by hand
Mixing
(iii) Try to avoid application during the hottest times of the

day.
Only full bag mixing is permissible. Do not part mix, or

add further water to the mixed material in order to prolong
workability. Either of these actions will result in an
incorrect water:powder ratio, and will compromise the final
material performance. It is essential that Cemtop HD is
thoroughly mixed and that the temperature of the mixed
material should not be allowed to exceed 30C. Measure
out 5.2 litres of cool, potable water, into a suitably sized
mixing vessel and mixing a full bag of Cemtop HD. It is
suggested that the temperature of the water should not
exceed 20C so that the temperature of the final mixed
mortar is not greater than 30C.
(iv) Make sufficient material, plant and labour available to

ensure that application is a continuous process.
(v) Use cool water for mixing and also to soak the surface
prior to the application of primer.
Curing
Curing is highly essential. Freshly hardened surface
should be covered completely with polythene sheet for 3
days.
Always add the powder to the water. Mix for 3 to 5

minutes until fully homogenous, using a 1 KW, slow speed
drill (400 to 500 rpm) + Fosroc MR3 mixing paddle
attachment.
Coating
In areas that are subject to regular water immersion or
chemical attack from acids or organic solvent, it will be
appropriate to protect Cemtop HD with an epoxy floor
coating such as Nitoflor FC130 or Nitoflor FC140. The first
coat of the epoxy floor coating should be applied within 26 hours of installation of Cemtop HD and the second coat
should be applied after the first coat is dry, typically 12-18
hours. In areas where high chemical resistance is
required, the first coat shall be Nitoflor FC130 with the
second coat being Nitoflor FC140.
Application
Pour the mixed material on to the dry, primed surface,
spread with a trowel and allow to self-level. Roll the
surface with a spiked roller to promote the release of any
trapped air. Best results are achieved when the pouring
and levelling is a continuous process.
Installation by pump
Limitations
This is a highly specialised activity and requires the use of

an approved applicator, who has been fully trained in the
use of product and equipment by Fosroc.
Concrete slabs onto which Cemtop HD is to be applied

must have a surface temperature of at least 5C, with
the air temperature maintained at 10C, or more,
during application.
Expansion joints
Protect Cemtop HD from freezing for 48 hours after

placement.
Expansion joints in the existing substrate must be retained

and continued through the Cemtop HD. Fosroc have a
range of joint sealants specifically designed for flooring,
consult your local Fosroc office for more details.
For temperatures above 35C refer to Hot Weather

Working.
Only suitable for use out of direct sunlight and on
internal floors.

Health and safety

Cemtop HD contains certain powders which, when mixed
with water or become damp, release alkalis which can be
harmful to the skin. During use, avoid inhalation of the dust
and contact with the skin or eyes. Wear suitable protective
clothing - eye protection, gloves and respiratory equipment
(particularly in confined spaces). The use of barrier creams
to provide additional skin protection is also advised. In case
of contact with the skin, rinse with plenty of clean water,
then cleanse thoroughly with soap and water. In case of
contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean
