SureBroom by SureCrete is formulated and optimized for exterior applications such as parking lots, parking garages, ramps, stairwells, and walkways where heavy foot or vehicular traffic is present. These venues include theme parks, educational, medical, warehousing, multifamily, and manufacturing. When SureCrete SureBroom is properly applied and sealed, it will produce an attractive high-strength wear surface with a long lifecycle and low maintenance. SureBroom applications do not contribute to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), and, when sealed with a resinous coating, can create an allergen-free flooring solution.
SureBroom is often applied by concrete broom. Project size and desired texture can allow for SureBroom to be placed by trowel, float, squeegee, brush, gravity feed hopper, or rotor/stator pump system. SureBroom may also be colored by using any of the 30 standard SC TruColor pre-measured color packs.

Surface Preparation:

1. Clean: The surface must be free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, paints, glues, sealers, curing agents, efflorescence, chemical contaminants, rust, algae, mildew, and other foreign matter that may serve as a bond breaker.
2. Cured: Any concrete must be sufficiently cured to have sufficient hydration, approximately 7 to 14 days depending on temperatures and humidity.
3. Sound: No system should be placed on concrete that is flaking, spalling, or has hibernating spalling.
4. Profiled: Proper profile should follow the standard established by the International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) Technical Guideline No. 03732
for Concrete Surface Profile (CSP). The required profile is a CSP-2 through CSP-4.
Mixing:
1. Carefully measure needed clean water and pour into a 5-gallon (18.9L) pail.
2. If color is desired, use one (1) SC TruColor™ color pack per
50- pound bag of SureBroom. Open SC TruColor and pour all the contents into the clean water in the 5-gallon pail.
3. Thoroughly mix the SC TruColor into the water, with a handheld concrete mixer equipped with a “Cage Mixing Blade”, on low speed for a minimum of 15 seconds.
4. Slowly introduce SureBroom into the pail while the mixer is running.
5. After all SureBroom has been added to the pail, scrape side of pail with a margin trowel to ensure all dry product is incorporated into the wet mix.
6. Continue to mix for a minimum of one minute after all ingredients are combined to achieve a lump-free consistency. Additional water can be added at this time, with total water demand not exceeding 6.5 quarts.
Concrete Broom Finish:
1. Once the substrate has been properly prepped, ensure the surface is SSD (saturated surface dry) with no standing puddles.
2. Pour a generous ribbon of SureBroom. Using a standup squeegee, tightly squeegee the ribbon of SureBroom to the substrate, covering the entire area, by pushing the product.
3. While the base coat is still wet, use the concrete broom to evenly create the desired broom texture, by lightly dragging the broom in the same direction each time. Take care not to leave edges high from where you start and stop.
Trowel Finish:
1. Once the substrate has been properly prepped, ensure the surface is SSD (saturated surface dry) with no standing puddles.
2. Pour a generous ribbon of SureBroom. Tightly squeegee the ribbon of SureBroom to the substrate, covering the entire area, by pushing and/or pulling the product. Take care not to leave edges high from where you start and stop.
Slip Resistance:
Every SureBroom project should be engineered with safety in mind, guidelines can be found from OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). The applicator assumes responsibility to meet these standards. The ADA directs that accessible walkways have a minimum COF (coefficient of friction) of 0.6. On ramps, the ADA directs that it should be 0.8.
Achieving these COF ranges can be done in one of two ways: texture created by the cementitious overlay or the use of a gripping agent (see TDS for SureGrip) within desired sealer or coating. On the TDS for SureGrip, you will find a COF chart.
