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. Low temperature or great temperature fluctuations may cause product crystallization.

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. For diamond plate and other steel surfaces for proper adhesion strongly recommend the E15M Epoxy Mastic Primer.

PRODUCT MIXING: This product has a mix ratio of 10.05 pounds part A to 1.90 pounds part B by weight for standard colors. Standard packages are in pre-measured kits and should be mixed as supplied. We recommend that the kits not be broken down unless suitable weighing equipment is available. Before the two components are mixed together, mix the part A and part B separately to insure they are uniform before they are combined. 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. Continue mixing for another couple of minutes to insure a homogeneous mixture that is properly mixed. Make sure you scrape the bottom and sides of the pail thoroughly while mixing. This material has a high viscosity – mix well. Improper mixing may result in product failure. For best mixing results and proper blending of parts A and B, recommend a Jiffy Mixer style drill 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.

****IMPORTANT NOTE AFTER MIXING:****

Once parts A&B are thoroughly mixed, immediately pour 100% of all mixed product on the floor in a ribbon pattern, S or W shape over the area you want that amount of product to cover. The risk of leaving product in the bucket is that it will become hard and reduce the working time by a minimum of 50% and may harden and start smoking in the bucket before you get back to i

PRIMING: This product is intended to be used over a suitable primer. It is advisable to select a primer color similar to the color of the topcoat skidproof to be used. This product can also be used over a non-primed cement substrate, but adequate testing should be employed to assure adhesion and suitability before the actual application.

PRODUCT APPLICATION: Make certain that the primer where the product is to be applied, is clean, sound and free of all laitance, dirt, dust, oil, grease, water, or foreign contaminants and sufficiently cured to accept topcoats. Apply the mixed skidproof coating by using a Phenolic Core Roller Cover so as to spread out the material in a uniform manner. It is equally important to roll the entire surface area in one direction to align the peaks and valleys generated from the phenolic core to insure a uniform look throughout the application area. Pour a ribbon on the surface approximately 6 inches wide. Pull material toward you with a moderate amount of pressure, but do not over-roll too many times or press down too heavily.

RECOAT OR TOPCOATING: Although this product can be topcoated, it will not be easy to perform a topcoat application due to the rough texture of the surface. Accordingly, this product was developed for use without a topcoat. Product has only moderate UV and color stability. UV stable aliphatic urethanes are compatible for use as a topcoat only when properly applied so as not to diminish the slip resistance. If you topcoat, make sure the skidproof coat has tacked off before recoating.

Refer to the cure schedule as a guideline to follow, in addition we strongly recommend to test the coating before recoating or topcoating. 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  

CLEANUP: Use xylol.

FLOOR 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 floor to light traffic and non-harsh chemicals until the coating is fully cured (see technical data under full cure). It is best to let the floor 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:

• *Color stability or gloss may be affected by environmental conditions, high humidity, temperatures, chemical exposure or exposure to certain types of 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 light sources.
• Substrate temperature must be 5°F above dew point.
• For best result, apply with a phenolic core roller applicator, rolling the material out in the same direction for the entire application.
• All new concrete must be cured for at least 30 days prior to application.
• Mix each component well before using. Because this material is high in viscosity, it should be mixed thoroughly once the part A and B are combined until uniform in color and consistency.
