Coverage

• 0.25-0.30kg/m²/coat
• A 5kg pack is sufficient to treat 8.3m² of surface with the recommended two coat treatment, providing an overall d.f.t. of 500 microns

Surface Preparation

Concrete:

• Concrete shall be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual moisture content shall be below 6%
• Ensure that the concrete is clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound and existing paint finishes etc

Steel:

• Steel surfaces shall be shot blasted or grit blasted to a nominal Sa 2.5 Swedish standard
• All dust and grease shall be removed prior to coating application

Priming:

• A coat of 401 Epoxy Floor Primer is recommended on absorbent concrete surfaces
• Apply in accordance with 401 Epoxy Floor Primer data sheet
• For steel substrates 310 Chemical Resistant Coating may be applied directly, or if a delay is likely to occur between blasting and application then it is recommended that a coat of 404 Epoxy Metal Primer is applied as a holding primer to obviate flash rusting

Mixing:

• Pour the contents of the curing agent container into the base container and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means, until a uniform colour is achieved

Mixing Ratio:

• By Volume = 2.46 Base : 1 Curing Agent
• By Weight = 100 Base : 35.1 Curing Agent

Application

• Apply by brush or roller at a nominal rate of 0.3kg/m² per coat, with a minimum of 12 hours between coats
• After a minimum of 6 hours @ 20°C but within a maximum of 24 hours, apply a second coat at the same nominal rate
• If the maximum overcoating limit is exceeded, the first coat must be abraded and solvent wiped prior to application of the second coat
• Should a non-slip finish be required, then a broadcast of 504 Standard Anti-Slip Aggregate shall be made immediately after the first coat
• Brush off excess aggregate prior to application of the second coat

Cleaning

• Clean equipment with 109 Tool Cleaner prior to curing of the coating

Curing

• Allow to cure for a minimum of 6 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 24 hours @ 20° prior to vehicular trafficking
• Allow a minimum of 5 days cure @ 20°C for optimum chemical resistance

Limitations

• Do not apply to wet or uncured concrete surfaces
• Do not apply at temperatures of 2°C or less
• Discoloration/bleaching of the coating can occur on contact with certain aggressive chemicals, thus leading to contamination/discolouration of the chemical itself
• Discoloration is purely a surface effect that does not detract from the efficacy of the coating in service

Storage & Shelf Life

• Store in dry conditions, out of direct sunlight, at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C
• Do not expose to freezing conditions
• 310 Chemical Resistant Coating has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in original, unopened containers in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions

Health & Safety

• Avoid contact of the material with skin and eyes
• Wear gloves and goggles
• Wash off splashes immediately with soap and water
• Any eye contamination must be rapidly irrigated with copious amounts of clean water, and immediate medical attention sought
• Please refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information
• 310 Chemical Resistant Coating shall be applied strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
