    Technical Data


    • Volume Solids: Approx. 23%
    • Specific Gravity: 1.1 kg / litre (mixed)
    • Pot Life (23℃): 1h after mixing

    Practical Coverage:

    Coverage on concrete floors is on average:

    • Priming - 5–8 m²/l
    • Finishing - 6–10 m²/l

    Practical coverage depends on the porosity and evenness of the substrate and on the application method.

    Drying Times (23℃):

    • Dust dry after 6 hours
    • Recoatable after 16 hours
    • Fully cured after 7 days

    Drying and recoating times are related to the film thickness, temperature, the relative humidity of the air and ventilation.

    Mixing Ratio:

    • Base - 3 parts by volume - Fontefloor EP Clear
    • Hardener - 1 part by volume - 008 4571 (hardener)



    Surface Preparation


    New Concrete

    • Remove laitance by power grinding or hydrochloric acid etching.
    • Choose the method best suited for the premises.
    • After grinding remove dust carefully with a vacuum cleaner.
    • Hydrochloric acid etching is carried out with diluted hydrochloric acid (1 part concentrated hydrochloric acid, 4 parts water).
    • Rinse with plenty of water.
    • Dry the surface.

    Old Concrete

    • Remove all grease, oil, chemicals and other impurities by Maalipesu detergent.
    • Remove old peeling paint layer by grinding.
    • Choose the method best suited for the premises.
    • Clean out pot-holes removing all loose friable material.
    • Open cracks with e.g. an abrasive tool.
    • Remove loose material and dust.



    Recommended Primers


    • Fontefloor EP Clear

    The primer should be thinned by 20-30%. If necessary, repeat priming to get a non-porous surface. A porous priming coat will result in holes and air bubbles in the finished coating.



    Recommended Topcoats


    • Fontefloor EP Clear



    Application Conditions


    • The relative humidity of the concrete should not exceed 97%.
    • The temperature of the ambient air, surface or coating should not fall below +15ºC during application or drying.
    • Relative humidity of air should not exceed 80%.

    Note! There is a natural tendency of this coating to chalk, discolor or yellow unevenly. It is recommended to use polyurethane topcoat when there are high aesthetical requirements on colour appearance.



    Mixing Components


    • First stir base and hardener separately.
    • Mix the correct proportions of base and hardener thoroughly (approx. 3 minutes to get homogenous mixture) by using a low speed industrial hand drill with a paddle.
    • Insufficient mixing or incorrect mixing ratio will result in uneven drying of the surface, weaken the properties of the coating and risk the success of the application.



    Application


    Priming:

    • Prime using 20–30% thinned Fontefloor EP Clear lacquer.
    • Always add the water needed to a ready mixture and stir thoroughly.
    • Pour the mixture onto the floor, apply with a rubber trowel and level with a roller.
    • If necessary, repeat priming to get a non-porous surface. A porous priming coat will result in holes and air bubbles in the finished coating.

    Patching:

    • Patch pot-holes and cracks with a mixture of unthinned Fontefloor EP Clear and dry, clean sand.
    • Mixing ratio e.g. 1 part by volume of varnish mixture and 1–2 parts by volume of sand of grain size 0.1–0.6 mm.
    • Sand the patched areas before overcoating, if necessary.

    Note! Concrete surface should always be primed before patching.

    Topcoating:

    • Overcoating should be done within 16–48 hrs after priming.
    • If the primed surface is not overcoated within 48 hrs, it should be abraded.
    • Thin Fontefloor EP Clear 20–30% with water.
    • Pour the mixture onto the floor and apply it with a trowel and level with a roller.
    • Apply as thin a layer as possible.
    • Note! Add the remaining mixture to the next batch of the product, do not scrape it out of the container onto the floor.
