About Topel
Description
DEFLECTA TOPEL® is an inorganic silicon-containing material concrete treatment that increases both density and surface hardness and is hydrophobic - providing increased wear and slip resistance. This product is a densifier that penetrates and bonds with the Portland cement components of the concrete increasing abrasive resistance and damage from water. DEFLECTA TOPEL® will not alter the appearance of the concrete when applied. However, with time and wear, the slab will improve its appearance compared to an untreated slab:
- Topel's function creates a hydrophobic slip resistant surface.
DEFLECTA TOPEL® Test Results:-
Slip Resistance Classification
- P4 - Wet Pendulum Test burnished finish
- P5 - Steel trowel or broomed finish
- Water Contact Angle Classification - Super Hydrophobic > than 120o
How it works
DEFLECTA TOPEL® when applied to the concrete both hardens/densifies the surface which prevents dusting and moisture ingress giving a hydrophobic finish.
