Features & Benefits

• Good chemical and water resistance
• For industrial and commercial environments
• Produces a tough flexible film
• Hard-wearing
• Dries quick
• Ideal for use as a floor sealer
• Suitable for forklift traffic (after 48hrs)
• Can be used with Bradite Low Slip Additives LS30 to provide additional under foot traction
• Manufactured under the auspices of an ISO 9001:2008 quality & ISO 14001:2004 environmental management systems

Preparation

• For internal steel, wood, concrete and other absorbent mineral substrates which are free of contamination, dust, efflorescence and have been properly prepared and primed
• Substrates should be dust free and completely dry before coating. When painting concrete it is vital to ensure that the substrate is completely dry and free of laitance. Power floated, shiny or unpainted non porous concrete floors should be thoroughly vacuum blast cleaned to a roughness profile of 30-50 microns, acid etched using Bradite Acid Etch TA37, or primed using Bradite Floor Primer ES40. Please consult the product data sheet for more details
• High pressure water cleaning should be utilised to remove all loose and flaking paint and contamination back to a sound substrate. Bradite TD39 industrial strength detergent should be used if necessary to remove all grease and oil
• Intact areas of existing coatings should be roughened by abrasive manual or disc rubbing and feathered back to a sound coating edge. Cracks and pits should be filled using a suitable screed or mortar before painting. Substrate should be dust free and completely dry before coating

Application

• Application and use should always conform to the codes of practice described in BS 6150 and BS 5493
• Clean all equipment immediately after use with Bradite Thinner TP33 for best results
• For application on concrete, wood or other absorbent substrates, the first coat should be thinned 10-20% with Bradite Thinner TP33 to allow penetration into the substrate
• For maintenance painting, the 1st coat will be a touch up to bare areas only. While the floor will take light foot traffic after overnight drying, full cure may take 4 days at 20⁰C, and should not be subject to heavy traffic for at least 48 hours. Please note that drying/curing times will vary depending on film thickness, temperature and relative humidity
• Theoretical coverage: 10 m2/L/coat @ 69 microns/coat DFT/100 microns/coat WFT
• Surface dry in 2 hours, recoat in 8 - 16 hours (after 16 hrs, coating should be abraded)
• While the floor will take light foot traffic after overnight drying, full cure may take 4 days at 20°C, and should not be subject to heavy traffic for at least 48 hours
• For additional under foot traction, Bradite Low Slip Hard Aggregate LS30 should be added to the paint and mixed thoroughly just before use at a rate of 1 x 250ml LS30 tin (400g) per 5 litre of paint

Limitations

• This product is intended for professional use only
• Compatibility with existing coatings should be confirmed by preparing and painting a test patch
• Not suitable for applying over asphalt, bitumen, epoxy tar, alkyd, chlorinated rubber or vinyl based paints
• Drying/curing times will vary depending on film thickness, temperature and relative humidity
• Due to the rapid drying of Bradite Rapid PW74 it is advised that once opened the can should not be resealed
• Hot high performance or new tyres may cause slight discolouration of very new coatings at the point of contact. This effect is very rare but may be noticeable in light colours and is due to the migration of rubber compounding materials into the surface of the coating
• As with all aromatic moisture cure prepolymers, direct exposure to sunlight will cause yellowing. This effect will be most noticeable in light colours and the degree of yellowing will be in proportion to the amount of direct sunlight exposure
