Topflow Composite Metal Decking Self Compacting Concrete

Self-compacting concrete for use over profiled steel/ composite metal decking systems. Available either as a plain self-compacting concrete in applications incorporating conventional reinforcement, or alternatively a specially formulated mix containing high-performance steel and micro polypropylene fibres as a replacement for crack-control mesh.

Features and benefits:

• Highly fluid, and therefore consolidates easily around the deck profile.

• Rapid and flexible - easy installation allows large surface to be poured quickly.

• No vibration or power float finishing required.

• High quality surface finish.

• Reduced labour requirements.

• Suitable for use with either Topflow Horizontal or plain 10 mm Topflow concrete mixes, dependent on project requirements.

• Eliminates the need to order, store and place steel mesh reinforcement on site.

• Reduces the risk of plastic settlement and shrinkage cracking.

• Increases impact, abrasion and shatter resistance of the concrete.

• Increases residual strength and enhances durability.

• Has little or no impact on surface finish quality; floor finishes can be applied as normal.

• Good pumping characteristics allow high level floors to be poured.

• No additional propping of the deck is required.

Applications:

Provides a cost-effective and efficient way to place concrete over horizontally installed composite steel profiled floor decking systems. Approved for use over the following deck types:

• Tata/ Corus Comflor (CF) 51, 60 and 80.

• CMF (Studwelders and Nother Steel Decking) MetFloor (MF) 55, 60 and 80.

Please note that some additional sealing of the deck may be required to prevent excessive grout loss - consult manufacturer for details.
