    Coverage


    • 3m² per litre per coat - Applied in a 2 coat application - Giving an overall coverage of 1.5m² per litre
    • Three coats are recommended for high wear areas
    • Coverage will vary depending on the porosity and profile of the surface



    Surface Preparation


    Ensure all substrates are thoroughly dry, clean, sound and free from any contaminants such as dirt, rust, salt, algae and grease. Safekote WB exhibits good adhesion to most primers. All non-porous substrates with the exception of painted surfaces require a primer. Substrates differ significantly, and so all new applications should be tested for adhesion first.

    • Steel: Abrade surface lightly and remove any surface rust or mill scale by sanding, wire brushing, with a chipping hammer or sandblasting. Prime with Smartkote EP90 Universal Epoxy Primer as per instructions, within 30 minutes
    • Galvanized Iron: Clean away grease and dirt with a suitable galvanized iron cleaner until a water break-free surface is attained. Rinse well with water and allow to dry. Abrade to provide a key and prime with Smartkote EP90 Universal Epoxy Primer the same day as the surface was prepared to avoid re-contamination and flash rust
    • Aluminium: Abrade to fresh metal, clean well using detergent. Prime with Smartkote EP90 Universal Epoxy Primer as per instructions within 30 minutes.
    • Concrete: Allow new concrete at least 28 days to cure. Non-porous cement must be acid-etched, rinsed well and dried. Prime with Duram Duraprime as per instructions if weak, damp or oil contaminated
    • Wood: Abrade, clean and allow to completely dry before applying Safekote WB directly. Dilute the first coat with up to 10% fresh tap water to aid penetration. Dense oily woods may require a primer
    • Fibreglass: Abrade well, clean with detergent and apply Safekote WB directly onto the surface
    • PVC: Abrade and clean well using detergent. Allow to dry before applying Safekote WB directly. An adhesion test is recommended prior to use.
    • Gloss Paints and Varnish: Abrade with a scouring pad or medium grit sandpaper to remove all gloss. Wipe clean with water and detergent, allow to dry and apply Safekote WB directly
    • Painted Metal: Remove heavy dirt and rust. Previously painted surfaces need to be lightly abraded using a medium grit sandpaper to remove all gloss. Wipe clean using detergent, allow to dry and apply Safekote WB directly



    Application


    • After substrates have been prepared, ensure they are completely dry, tests for adhesion have been completed and areas not to be coated have been masked off
    • Stir well before use using a flat paddle
    • Always apply a test patch of Safekote WB to ensure the substrate has been properly prepared and primed. Check adhesion of the coating by cutting a small X in the coating using a utility knife. Firmly apply a piece of packaging tape over the centre of the X cut, then pull off with a fast snap. The adhesion is suitable if no significant coating is removed beyond the X cut. If the coating fails this test, then additional surface preparation is required – repeat the surface preparation steps above
    • Brush-on: Safekote WB should be “laid” onto the surface with a brush (do not brush backwards and forwards as with an enamel paint). Two coats will result in a final dry film thickness of 0.23 - 0.25mm. Second or subsequent coats should be applied at right angles to the previous coat. Intercoat time is approximately 2 hours or when touch dry, depending on ambient conditions
    • Roller: If applied with a stipple roller, application is quicker and the final texture rougher with greater anti-slip characteristics. Follow same instructions as per Brush-on. Intercoat time is approximately 2 hours or when touch dry, depending on ambient conditions. Recommended roller types for Safekote WB are short mohair roller or fine foam roller
    • Spray-On: Dilute Safekote WB with up to 10% of clean tap water. Fill spray gun pot, and attach airline providing a minimum pressure of 5 bar. Safekote WB should be applied in thin coats to prevent “mudcracking” during drying. Depending on the application, two or more coats should be applied. Ensure each coat is dry before applying the next coat. Intercoat time is approximately 2 hours or when touch dry, depending on ambient conditions
    • Curing time: Safekote WB cures with atmospheric moisture. The coating will be touch dry in about 2 to 4 hours and allowing light traffic after 9 hours. Full strength and chemical resistance is achieved in 4 to 7 days, but normally the coating can be put to use after 24 hours
    • Overcoating and repair: Safekote WB can easily be repaired or overcoated. The old surface should be well cleaned and then abraded by wire brush or sandpaper, and damaged surfaces must be cut out to provide an area without loose edges. Follow application instructions. If Safekote WB is left for more than 24 hours after coating, it should be abraded before recoating to aid intercoat adhesion. If correctly applied, Safekote WB provides a seamless repair
