E700HV Exceptionally Tough Surface | Abrasion & Chemical Resistant

E700HV is an exceptionally tough two component 97% solids colored epoxy floor coating designed for wide range of commercial, industrial and residential applications where a low cost, high build, abrasion, impact and chemical resistant floor system is needed.   Due to its superior surface protection, the E700HV eliminates the need for a urethane or polyaspartic protective topcoat for many projects, saving both time and money.

Available in a very high gloss with a wide selection of 20 color options.  Comes in 1 quart, 3/4 gallon,  1.5 gallon, 2.9 gallon and 14.5 gallon kits.

The E700HV Epoxy not compatible with or designed for flake/chip floor systems requiring a topcoat.  For flakes/chips epoxy systems look at E707HB Epoxy

Requires use of compatible epoxy primer for best results.

PRIMER:  To reduce chance of concrete outgassing or enhance color saturation, recommend E5015 Water Based Epoxy comes in 20 colors to match topcoat.  For quick recoat, one day day project OR application in damp conditions recommend E155CL Epoxy Clear Primer with recoat in 30 min – 1-1/2 hour for 100% solids topcoats and application over damp or moist concrete.

TOPCOAT: Due to its exceptionally hard surface, not recommended to topcoat E700HV.  Can apply multiple coats E700HV during the recoat window

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: The most suitable surface preparation would be a fine brush blast (shot blast) to remove all laitance and provide a suitable profile. All dirt, foreign contaminants, oil 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’X4’ 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.

PRIMING: To reduce chance of concrete outgassing or enhance color saturation, recommend E5015 Water Based Epoxy comes in 20 colors to match topcoat.  For quick recoat, one day day project OR application in damp conditions recommend E155CL Epoxy Clear Primer with recoat in 30 min – 1-1/2 hour for 100% solids topcoats and application over damp or moist concrete.

PRODUCT MIXING: This product has a mix ratio of 9.55# part A to 4.2# part B for standard colors. Standard packages are in premeasured kits and should be mixed as supplied in the kit. We highly recommend that the kits not be broken down unless suitable weighing equipment is available. After the two parts are combined, mix well with slow speed mixing equipment such as a jiffy mixer until the material is thoroughly mixed and streak free. After mixing, transfer the mixed material to another pail (the transfer pail) and again remix. The material in the transfer pail is now ready to be applied on the primed substrate.

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 one to two minutes with a Jiffy Mixer first before combing parts A and B together.  Clean mixing tool with solvent after mixing part A before mixing part B to prevent starting the chemical reaction and shortening cure time.

Then pour Part B into Part A while mixing at slow speed, 650 rpm until a uniform blend is evident and streak Free.  Avoid Whipping Air Into The Coating during mixing.  Mix completely for approximately one to two minutes.  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.  In E700 that is colored, 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.

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.

The epoxy should have a nice even consistency without any color streaks. Pour the E700 out on the floor immediately after mixing and do not let the E700 sit in the bucket.  Leaving it in the bucket for as little as a minute or two can shorten the pot life by half or more.

PRODUCT APPLICATION: The mixed material can be applied by brush or roller. However, the material can also be applied by a suitable serrated squeegee and then back rolled as long as the appropriate thickness recommendations are maintained. Maintain temperatures and relative humidity within the recommended ranges during the application and curing process. If concrete conditions or over aggressive mixing causes air entrapment, then an air release roller tool should be used prior to the coating tacking off to remove the air entrapped in the coating. Always maintain a wet edge to avoid color shading differences.

RECOAT OR TOPCOATING: If you opt to recoat this product, you must first be sure that the coating has tacked off before recoating. However, all previous coats should be deglossed to insure a trouble free bond prior to application of recoats. Always remember that colder temperatures will require more cure time for the product before recoating can commence. Before recoating, 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 recoating. A standard type detergent cleaner can be used to remove any blush. If you plan to topcoat this product with another epoxy or urethane, always check compatibility and adhesion characteristics prior to topcoating. Multiple coats of this product are compatible

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

  • For best results use a high quality 3/8” nap roller.
  • This product is not UV color stable and will discolor when exposed to UV light or some other forms of lighting such as sodium vapor lights. However, this product should not be topcoated without a thorough field test to evaluate coating compatibility and adhesion characteristics
  • 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.
  • Because of the short pot life and dry time, attention should be given to the trim work and tie-in areas to keep a wet edge so as to avoid roller marks, differences in color or shading problems.
  • When applying coatings that are light in color or bright, additional coats of this product or an appropriately colored primer may be necessary.
  • 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.
