Heavy-Duty Floor Topping from BASF

Molendinar Waste Transfer Station

The Challenge

For most people, the last thing that they would want to do with their brand new concrete slab, would be drop tonnes of hard waste onto it - especially if the next thing that they had to do was scrape it up using the blade of a dozer or heavy tractor.

With that in mind, one of the major challenges facing councils, waste authorities and waste contractors throughout Australia, is finding a way to get the concrete floor to withstand this daily punishment, without ending up totally 'trashed'.

The Solution

MASTERTOP 230 is a heavy-duty floor topping that can stand up to even the harshest conditions - including being 'trashed' on a daily basis!

Specifically formulated for areas that are subjected to heavy abrasive traffic, impact and continuous wear, MASTERTOP 230 is an iron aggregate topping designed to provide industrial floors with extra heavy-duty protection against abrasion and impact.

MASTERTOP 230 can be applied over correctly prepared existing hardened concrete at a thickness of 13mm - 40mm to provide an appreciably longer service life than either normal high strength concrete or natural aggregate toppings. Having a lower modulus of elasticity than other toppings of equivalent compressive strength, MASTERTOP 230 is also less brittle and more resistant to dynamic loads, resulting in improved impact resistance and total energy absorbing capacity (toughness).
