Tor Tortread EP Eggshell Finish is a two pack solvent based epoxy/polyamide eggshell floor paint with inorganic pigments and extenders.
For the coating of concrete floors where a hard wearing chemical resistant coating is required
Suitable for new/old concrete and previously painted floors
Old/New Concrete: Ensure dry (less than 5.5 on Protimeter concrete scale). Mechanically remove all laitence etc. Acid etching may be acceptable for small areas
Seal porous concrete by applying one thinned coat (5% TH98 Thinners ) of Tortread EP Eggshell Finish
Bare Powerfloated Concrete: prime suitably cleaned surface with Tortread Powerprime in accordance with product recommendations as stated on TDS
Previously Painted: Carry out adhesion check. If suspect – remove existing paint. If sound – solvent wipe and abrade prior to applying Tortread EP Eggshell Finish
Base and activator supplied in correct mixing proportions
Apply two coats by brush, roller, or airless spray (thin with up to 10% Tor Epoxy Thinners (TH98) if necessary and adjust coverage rate accordingly)
Coverage rate 10 metres per litre per coat (for practical coverage reduce theoretical coverage by approximately 20%)
Apply at a thickness of 50 microns dft per coat
Touch dry in 4 hours, hard dry in 16 hours @ 20°C. Recoat in 16 hours - 72 hours
Limitations
Temperatures below 10°C will extend curing times and artificial heating may have to be considered in winter. Drying in cold humid conditions may cause surface blooming
Temperatures above 25°C will significantly reduce pot life, and may give poor levelling
Overcoating times should be observed. Surface abrasion or solvent wiping may be necessary if times are exceeded
Optimum cure is normally achieved 5-7 days after application in reasonable temperatures therefore due allowances should be made before commissioning the coated floor
Drying/curing times will be shortened by higher temperatures and lengthened by lower temperatures
