Derbyshire Specialist Aggregates has over 30 years of experience in the industry and we continually research to ensure that we provide the highest quality materials for resin bound installations. We strongly believe that using the correct ratio of resin to aggregates is critical in achieving a lasting, durable surface.
We provide 2 sizes for DALTEX UVR resin and recommend the following mix designs (ie the amount of resin and aggregates to be used).
RECOMMENDED MIX DESIGN FOR Performance DALTEX UVR 7.5kg Resin
3 standard bags 2-5mm, 1 standard bag 1-3mm and 1 mini bag DALTEX Binding Quartz sand. This delivers % resin coverage of 7.1%. Coverage approximately 4.0m2 at 15mm and 3.55m2 at 18mm depth.
Disclaimer: All calculations are approximate and no liability can be accepted for shortfalls or surplus.
We recommend that the minimum depth for driveways is a depth of 15mm. For areas with heavy traffic, we recommend a depth of 18mm.
NB. Don't forget to allow for natural undulations. We recommend you over order by 5%-10% to allow for any variances.
Daltex Autumn Quartz 1-3mm is a finer, smaller grade of subrounded particles of quartz, with tones of cream, yellow and honey. Used to bolster the grading and to fill in the voids in any of the quartz range of mixes for a stronger finish. Also available in Autumn Quartz 2-5mm.
The risk of iron staining with this aggregate is low.
We strongly recommend the use of UVR resin with all DALTEX dried aggregates.
Non-UVR resin darkens and fades over a very short period of time and has a natural tendency to discolour. It should never be used with this aggregate.
