About Foundation Binder

Foundation Binder is a single-component MDI-based polyurethane binder designed for binding stone aggregates in sub-base preparation for resin bound surfaces. Unlike the Spectrabind Clear and Gold systems which are 2-pack products, Foundation Binder is moisture-curing — requiring only atmospheric moisture to cure, with no Part A/B mixing needed.

This makes it simpler to use on site for base-coat preparation. Mix at 3.5-5% addition level with stone aggregate, with cure time approximately 3-6 hours depending on conditions. Recommended substrate temperature 10-25°C with humidity between 40-70%.

Avoid over-mixing to prevent premature curing. The product is solvent-free at 100% solids, with a viscosity of 4500-7000 mPa.s at 25°C. Shelf life is 6 months from manufacture when stored correctly in sealed containers.
