MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

PRODUCT STORAGE: Store product in an area so as to bring the material to normal room temperature before using. Continuous storage should be between 60 and 90 degree F. Keep from freezing.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

Surface preparation will vary according to the type of complete system to be applied.  For a one or two coat thin build system (3-10 mils dry) we recommend either mechanical scarification or acid etching until a suitable profile is achieved.  For a complete system build higher than 10 mils dry, we recommend a fine brush blast (shot blast) or concrete diamond grinding so surface feels like a 60 to 100 grit sandpaper.

For an acid etch preparation we suggest our E760CE Muriatic Replacement as a safer alternative.

All dirt, oil, dust, foreign contaminants and laitance must be removed to assure a trouble free bond to the substrate.  A test should be made to determine that the concrete is dry; this can be done by placing a 4’ X 4’ plastic sheet on the substrate and taping down the edges.  If after 24 hours, the substrate is still dry below the plastic sheet, then the substrate is dry enough to start coating.  The plastic sheet testing is also a good method to determine if any hydrostatic pressure problems exist that may later cause debonding.

PRODUCT MIXING:

This product has a 1 to 1 mix ratio by volume- merely mix equal volumes such as 1 gallon of part A to 1 gallon of part B.  If temperatures are below 55°F, let the material induct for ten minutes to help reduce the possibility of developing an epoxy blush.

For best mixing results and proper blending of parts A and B, recommend a Jiffy Mixer style drill mixer. Mix parts A and B separately by themselves in a container.  Mix Part A for 3-5 minutes by itself and then mix Parts A and B together for maximum one to two minutes with a Jiffy Mixer.

Use of an improper drill mixer can result in streaking of the color because the pigment has not been thoroughly blended.  It can also create curing problems if the hardener also called activator (Part B) is not thoroughly blended with the resin (Part A) which can cause some areas on your floor to remain soft and not harden properly.  DO NOT USE A PAINT MIXER.  Many mixing problems described above can be traced back to using a paint mixer..  DO NOT HAND MIX as this approach can also result in the same problems as using a paint mixer.

Avoid Whipping Air Into The Coating during mixing.  Mix only an amount that can be applied in the specified pot life time. Improper mixing may result in product failure. Be sure to work the bottom and edges of the bucket to ensure the entire contents of each part are mixed. The colored veins need to disappear. If the two components are not mixed completely the epoxy will not cross-link well and can develop curing problems that will lead to a substandard coating.  Improper mixing can result in uneven color when pigment is not fully blended. It’s very important when mixing not to run the drill too fast or pump the mixing paddle up and down. Doing either of these this will introduce air into the mix which will be rolled into the coating and create air bubbles at the surface. The epoxy should have a nice even consistency without any color streaks. Pour the 707LVP out on the floor immediately after mixing 

PRODUCT APPLICATION:

Using a dip and roll process (leave product in mixed pail until ready to apply then put in a roller pan).  The mixed material can be applied by brush or roller.  Maintain temperatures within the recommended ranges during the application and curing process.  When using product without a topcoat, it is best to use the same batch of material for an entire job to prevent color or gloss differences.

RECOAT OR TOPCOATING:

If you opt to recoat or topcoat this product, you must first be sure that all of the solvents have evaporated from the coating during the curing process.  The information on the front side are reliable guidelines to follow.  However, we strongly recommend to test the coating before recoating or topcoating, refer to the cure schedule as a guideline to follow. This is done by pressing your thumb on the coating in multiple places to ensure a fingerprint impression is not visible. If there is no impression visible, then coating the floor can be done. Note, colder or hotter than 75 degrees can affect the curing time schedule  Before recoating or topcoating, check the coating to insure no epoxy blushes were developed (a whitish, greasy film or deglossing).  If a blush is present, it must be removed prior to topcoating or recoating.  A standard type detergent cleaner can be used to remove any blush.  Many epoxy overlays and coatings as well as urethanes are compatible for use as a topcoat for this product as well as multiple coats of this product.

A great companion topcoat is the E707HB High Build Epoxy.

CLEANUP: Use xylol

SURFACE CLEANING: Caution! Some cleaners may affect the color of the floor installed. Test each cleaner in a small area, utilizing your cleaning technique. If no ill effects are noted, you can continue to clean with the product and process tested.

RESTRICTIONS: Restrict the use of the surface to light duty and non-harsh chemicals until the coating is fully cured (see technical data under full cure). It is best to let the surface remain dry for the full cure cycle. Dependent on actual complete system application, surface may be slippery, especially when wet or contaminated; keep surface clean and dry.

LIMITATIONS

• Colors or clarity for clear may be affected by high humidity, low temperatures, or chemical exposure.
• For best results use a high quality 3/8” nap roller.
• Color or gloss may be affected by environmental conditions like humidity, temperatures, chemicals, or exposure to lighting such as sodium vapor lights.
• Colors may vary from batch to batch. Therefore, use only product from the same batch for an entire job.
• This product is not UV color stable and may discolor when exposed to UV lighting.  Otherwise the color stability of this product is good.  Therefore a topcoat is option and dependent on the environment.
• Light or bright colors (white, safety yellow, etc.) may require multiple coats or a topcoat to achieve a satisfactory hide, depending on the substrate
• Substrate temperature must be 5°F above dew point.
• All new concrete must be cured for at least 30 days.
• Apply a suitable primer before using this product.
• Physical properties are typical values and not specifications.
