Supporting Products

• UltraScape Pro-Prime Slurry Primer – provides an exceptional bond between your paving and bedding mortar

 

Technical Details

Eco-Bed is formulated from selected cements and graded fillers. The pre-blended fine bedding concrete is supplied in 25 kg bags or alternatively, for those large projects, in 30 tonne bulk silos. The product can be laid from 10 mm to 100 mm in one pass with greater depths achievable using successive layers. The material mixes easily on-site with the addition of water and provides a compressive strength of 45 N/mm² after 28 days complying fully with BS 7533. This material should not be used in temperatures below 5°C.

 

Preparation

It is of vital importance that the supporting layer which is to receive Eco-Bed is stable and not liable to settlement or heave. Supporting structures must be cleaned, pre-soaked and all ponded water must be removed prior to application. To promote bond, the supporting layer can be primed using UltraScape Pro-Prime Slurry Primer. Please note that this product is suitable only for bound/rigid construction, not for unbound/flexible applications.

 

Priming

To increase overall product performance, prime the supporting layer with UltraScape Pro-Prime Slurry Primer before applying UltraScape Eco-Bed. Priming the road-base is not a requirement of the British Standard for pavements constructed on a bound base. It is of vital importance that the underside of all paving elements are primed in accordance with BS 7533. The bonding characteristics of UltraScape Eco-Bed will only be achieved when the product is used in conjunction with UltraScape Pro-Prime Slurry Primer.

 

Provision of Joints

Consideration must be given to movement joints within a bound or rigid construction. Always consult the Project Engineer/Architect for details regarding movement joints.

 

Mixing

Add between 2.4 and 2.8 litres of clean water to a suitable mixing vessel. Slowly add the contents of one 25 kg bag. Mix mechanically for a minimum of 3 minutes and a maximum of 5 minutes. Do not add extra water or part mix bags.
