Surface Preparation

New Concrete Floors: New concrete must be clean, sound, dry, fully cured and surface laitance removed by vacuum enclosed shot blasting or mechanical grinding, a minimum strength of 25N/mm² is required.

Existing Concrete Floors: Remove all dirt, oil, grease, old paint or any other surface contaminants by vacuum enclosed shot blasting, scarifying or mechanical grinding. Fats, oils or greases must be removed by mechanical means and detergent washing and making sure all residue of detergent is washed and removed by rinsing with clean water. Local repairs should be carried out using Resuflor Patch. If the old resin flooring cannot be removed then please consult with our technical team for advice on intercoat adhesion and suitability, as it may not be compatible with the existing floor coating.

Resin floor systems: Where Resutile ST is used as a top coat on a new or existing resin floor system the surface should be clean and dry and ideally be lightly abraded/sanded prior to application as it may interfere with the inter-coat adhesion with Resutile ST.

Timber/Wooden Floors: Must be clean, sound and dry. Old varnish/topcoat must be removed/sanded prior to application as it may interfere with the inter-coat adhesion with Resutile ST.

NOTE: Care must be taken to ensure that surface preparation is thorough but does not disfigure the surface.

Primer

Resutile ST may be applied direct to concrete or as a seal coat or topcoat to a resin floor system specified in our datasheets where a primer is not required. When applied direct to porous substrates the surface may require priming. Dry surfaces may be primed with Resuflor WB or Resuprime ST.

Where the Relative Humidity of the substrate exceeds 75% Resuprime MVT should be specified and selected on the basis of hygrometer readings in accordance with BS 8203. The number of coats to be applied is chosen in accordance with the following table.

ERH% Required Coating Thickness

• 75-85 1 coat of RESUPRIME MVT at 200 microns per coat
• 85-92 2 coats of RESUPRIME MVT at 200 microns per coat
• 92-97 3 coats of RESUPRIME MVT at 200 microns per coat

Mixing/Application

Mix the entire contents of the base with the hardener. If a separate mixing bucket is being used mix thoroughly ensuring all contents of both components are removed from the buckets supplied. Mix using a high-speed electric mixer (for colours) or a slow-speed electric mixer (for clear) for approximately three to four minutes until the two components are fully combined.

The mixed unit should be applied immediately by roller, brush or squeegee with a consistent procedure. Floor areas should be cross rolled to ensure even application and to minimise roller marks. It is important to maintain a wet edge with this product to minimise the risk of roller marks in the cured finish.

Application Conditions

The ambient temperatures of the areas should not be allowed to fall below 15°C throughout the application and the curing period, as this could have an adverse effect on the appearance and colour of the system. Surface temperature must be above 10°C. Where possible it is recommended that the application area is heated to a minimum temperature of 15°C ideally to allow the ambient and substrate temperature to stabilise prior to the installation.

NOTE: Applied coating should be protected from moisture during application and during the curing period. Exposure to moisture during this time can cause surface and colour variations.
