MASTERTOP 230 

MASTERTOP 230 is an iron aggregate topping designed to provide industrial floors with extra heavy-duty protection against abrasion and impact.  It can be applied over correctly prepared existing hardened concrete to give an appreciably longer service life than either normal high strength concrete or natural aggregate toppings.

MASTERTOP 230 has a lower modulus of elasticity than other toppings of equivalent compressive strength.  Thus it is less brittle and more resistant to dynamic loads.  Impact resistance and total energy absorbing capacity (toughness) are also improved.

MASTERTOP 230 is recommended for:

• Key areas subject to heavy abrasive traffic, impact and continuous wear, such as loading docks, aisles, waste transfer facilities, truck or tractor repair areas, and mill scale sluiceways. 
• Areas where safety authorities have deemed other floor surfaces hazardous because of excessive wear, dangerously buckled steel plates, etc.
• Mining workshops with tracked vehicles.

• Floors with scraper blades in constant contact

  MASTERTOP 230 is not recommended for areas where steel plate has worn through in less than one year, or where the floor surface is exposed to acids, their salts or other materials which seriously and rapidly attack cement and/or iron.  For applications under these service conditions consult BASF Construction Chemicals about their range of chemical resistant flooring systems, such as MASTERTOP 1200 Series and UCRETE.
