• Touch dry after 4 hours at 20°C
• Through dry after 8 hours at 20°C
• Recommended over coating after 12-18 hours

Preparation

New Concrete Floors:

• New Concrete must be at least 4 weeks old before considering coating the substrate or moisture less than 5%
• The substrate should be clean, free from laitance, removed preferably by techniques which should include (depending on the degree of contamination) acid etching, light mechanical scrabbling, blasting, grinding or degreasing

Existing Concrete Floors:

• Remove all dirt, oil, grease or other surface contaminants by enclosed shot blasting, scarification or mechanical grinding
• Fats, oils or greases must be removed by mechanical means and detergent washing

Mixing:

• Add the smaller tin containing Part B - Curing Agent to the bigger tin containing Part A - Epoxy Resin. Ensure mixing of the combined materials is done thoroughly using a spatula, wide bladed tool and or drill assisted paint mixing tool (on its lowest speed setting)
• Always ensure a spatula is used to mix any unmixed materials from the sides or the bottom of the tin
• It is suggested that continuous mixing is maintained for at least 3 minutes until an even colour and uniform consistency is achieved
• Over mixing must be avoided to reduce air entrainment
• Do not mix more than one pack at a time

Application

• Store between 15°C - 25°C for at least 8 hours before use
• The ambient temperatures of the areas should not be allowed to fall below 10°C throughout the application and curing period
• Surface temperatures must be above 5°C, in cases where the temperature is higher than 30°C, the surface should be dampened with water
• Please follow the coverage rates shown in Spreading Rate Section
• Apply by brush or short-medium pile solvent resistant roller ensuring the product is well worked into the surface
• Porous floors may require two coats
• Do not use a water-based roller
• Do not over roll

General Maintenance:

• All surfaces should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water after the use of chemical cleaners
• Do not steam clean or use anything that cleans with temperatures exceeding 60°c
• If unsure of any industrial cleaners, use a test area to ensure compatibility

Cleaning

• Before the product cures all applicators should be washed in warm soapy water. Any spillages of the Part A - Epoxy Resin prior to mixing must be removed by solvents

Shelf Life & Storage

• 12 months shelf life from date of production in original unopened containers and can be stored in dry conditions between 5°C - 30°C
• Do not allow packs to freeze

Precautions

• See MSDS sheet
• Wear gloves, goggles and suitable protective clothes
• In case of contact with eyes rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice
• Remove splashes from the skin with a recognised hand cleaner or plenty of soap and water
• Keep out of reach of children
• Do not use near fishponds
• Toxic to aquatic organisms
• May cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environments
• Do not empty into drains
