Features & Benefits

• A solid edging should be installed as necessary to protect edges
• RonaDeck UV Wet Pour Rubber Granule Shockpad is a base layer for absorbing impact below and around play equipment
• The system must be laid onto a sound stable and solid base concrete or no fines concrete is the preferred substrate, the system may be applied to asphalt concrete but there is a risk of migratory staining from the bitumen binder
• Applications exceeding 40mm depth may be laid on compacted MoT Type 3 aggregate
• Suitable for applications in areas such as playgrounds and golfing environments
• Designed for foot traffic
• Vehicle traffic, heavy impact, high point and shear loading will damage the surface and may result in failure

Appearance

The performance and appearance of the finished surface is not only dependent on the resin but also on the rubber granules. The RonaDeck UV Wet Pour Rubber Granule Surfacing blends have been designed to achieve strength, resilience, porosity and decoration.

Blended granules can be supplied pre-bagged or can be blended on site by the contractor following the guide mixes issued by Ronacrete. For more information, contact our Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected]

Please note that all efforts have been made to get swatches as close to the finished items as possible but due to limitation in the printing process accuracy is not guaranteed. We advise that cured samples are ordered before making a decision.

Maintenance

It is possible to repair localised damage by cutting out and replacing, ideally using the same blend as originally supplied. Ageing and weathering of the original may prevent an invisible repair. "Picking out" of some rubber granules is possible but is likely to be minimal and localised. Any major loss of rubber granules should be reported.

Construction of Base

Only apply to a suitable substrate which is capable of supporting, restraining and bearing the weight of the traffic load.

The best substrate is a well designed and constructed solid concrete (or no fines concrete for pervious construction); close graded asphalt concrete, (or open graded asphalt concrete for pervious construction) may be used but there is a risk of migratory staining from the bitumen binder.

The sub-base should be MoT Type 1, (or for pervious construction Type 3 laid on a geotextile membrane). If the surfacing is ≥ 40mm, it may be applied to MoT Type 3 laid on a geotextile membrane. Do not apply to other substrates.

RonaDeck UV Wet Pour Rubber Granule Surfacing is a thin layer of 15mm minimum thickness or more and may reflect substrate unevenness.

The substrate must be level, completely dry and free from any contamination for example, grease or oil.

Instructions for Use

1. Only use clean, dried and dust free, rubber granules which are suitable for this use
2. Ensure that the mixing station is fully waterproof when rain is expected, discontinue mixing when fog or mist are anticipated. Only apply to a sound solid base
3. Place 50kg of RonaDeck Rubber Granules (2-6mm) for the shockpad into a clean, dry, forced action mixer Baron M200 or similar, the mixer capacity must be no less than 120 litres
4. Scrape all of the contents of RonaDeck UV Wet Pour Rubber Granule Shockpad resin Part B into the larger Part A container (6kg pack weight) and mix with a slow speed drill (≤ 450RPM) and MR2 paddle mixer attachment for 2 minutes. Overmixing will increase heat generation and reduce working time
5. Immediately add the mixed resin to the rubber granules in the mixer. Mix the rubber granules and resin together until all the granules are evenly coated with resin. Mix for approximately 3-4 minutes and avoid overmixing
6. Discharge the mix onto the prepared surface, level and smooth. Excessive compaction will reduce permeability
7. Allow to cure at 20oC on a rising thermometer and apply RonaDeck UV Wet Pour Rubber Granule Surfacing when the shockpad is sufficiently firm to avoid damage
8. Place 50kg of RonaDeck Rubber Granules(1-4mm) for the surfacing into a clean, dry, forced action mixer Baron M200 or similar, the mixer capacity must be no less than 120 litres
9. Scrape all of the contents of RonaDeck UV Wet Pour Rubber Granule Surfacing resin Part B into the larger Part A container (10kg pack weight) and mix with a slow speed drill (≤ 450RPM) and MR2 paddle mixer attachment for 2 minutes. Overmixing will increase heat generation and reduce working time
10. Immediately add the mixed resin to the rubber granules in the mixer. Mix the rubber granules and resin together until all the granules are evenly coated with resin. Mix for approximately 3-4 minutes and avoid overmixing
11. Discharge the mix onto the prepared surface, level and smooth. Excessive compaction will reduce permeability
12. Finish the surface with a suitable float and ensure that the surface is completely flat. Avoid excessive use of the float as this may cause picking out of the granules; protruding rubber granules will tear and damage the system. RonaDeck Low VOC Tool Cleaner/ Trowel Finishing Aid should be used if required, the use of white spirit is not acceptable
13. Allow to cure as per stated performance data and coverage

Working Temperatures

RonaDeck UV Wet Pour Rubber Granule Surfacing and Shockpad resins are rapid setting and rapid curing. Pot life and working time will be affected by temperature including material, air and substrate temperature.

At temperatures above 25°C the pot life and working time may be insufficient to allow proper application. Work should therefore not proceed when product, air temperature exceed 25°C.

At low temperatures the resin will not flow sufficiently to achieve a smooth finish and work should not proceed when air and material temperature is below 5°C.

Whilst it is possible to mix and apply at temperatures down to 0°C, the cure rate and rate of strength gain will be retarded; the surface must not be trafficked until it has gained sufficient strength.

Rain During Application

Application during rain or when rain is anticipated during the cure period is not recommended. Light rain on the surface of the system is unlikely to affect the surface but may affect the bond between granules, reducing the strength of the system. Note that application to a damp substrate will reduce bond strength. Unmixed granules must be kept dry at all times Care must be taken to keep the mixing station dry, thus avoiding entrapment of moisture between aggregate and resin.
