Surface Preparation

Suitable Surfaces:

• For internal/external asphalt, steel, concrete, and other absorbent mineral substrates which are dry, free of contamination, dust, efflorescence laitance and have been properly prepared and primed
• Suitably prepared and well adhered existing coatings including polyurethane, epoxy, and chlorinated rubber
• External floor surfaces should be above local water table and/or have intact DPM barrier present
• Compatibility with existing coatings should be confirmed by preparing and painting a test patch

Surface Preparation:

• Substrates should be dust free and completely dry before coating. When painting concrete it is vital to ensure that the substrate is completely dry and free of laitance. Power floated, shiny or unpainted non porous concrete floors should be thoroughly vacuum blast cleaned to a roughness profile of 30-50 microns, or acid etched using Bradite Acid Etch
• High pressure water cleaning should be utilised to remove all loose and flaking paint and contamination back to a sound substrate. Bradite Industrial Degreaser industrial strength detergent should be used if necessary to remove all grease and oil
• Intact areas of existing coatings should be roughened by abrasive manual or disc rubbing and feathered back to a sound coating edge. Cracks and pits should be filled using a suitable screed or mortar before painting

Application Notes

• Mix thoroughly before use. Application and use should always conform to the codes of practice described in BS 6150 and BS 5493
• Brush and Roller - Supplied ready for use. Thin, if required, with up to 5% water
• Conventional Air Spraying - Thin with 15% water as required, tip size - 2.0mm, tip pressure 60psi (0.4MPa) approximately
• Airless Spraying - Thin with 0 - 10% water as required, tip size - 18 thou (0.46mm) approximately, tip pressure - 2100 psi (15MPa) approximately

Painting System:

• For application on concrete, wood or other absorbent substrates, the first coat should be thinned 5-10% water to allow penetration into the substrate
• 1st coat - Bradite Roadline RL52 (thinned)
• 2nd coat - Bradite Roadline RL52
• 3rd coat - Bradite Roadline RL52

For maintenance painting the 1st coat will be a touch up to bare areas only.

• While the floor will take light foot traffic after overnight drying, full cure may take 4 days at 20°C and should not be subject to heavy traffic for at least 48 hours
• Please note that drying/curing times will vary depending on film thickness, temperature, and relative humidity

Notes:

• Bradite Roadline RL52 is suitable for use with Bradite Low Slip Additive LS30, which can be incorporated into the paint
• Bradite Low Slip Hard Aggregate LS30 should be added to the paint and mixed thoroughly just before use at a rate of 1 x 250ml LS30 tin (400g) per 5 litres of paint
• The end user and applicator must ensure that the finished floor is safe against slips in all likely usage conditions

Cleaning:

• Clean all equipment immediately after use with water for best results
