- Application
Good surface preparation is essential for strong adhesion. Clean surface by washing, sandblasting, or muriatic acid etching as appropriate for the substrate. Laitance (deceptively sound-looking surface) on new concrete must be etched or sandblasted. (See “Coating and Resurfacing with Abatron Epoxies”.) Existing coatings can be coated over only if brushing with Abocoat 8508-1 shows adhesion without peeling or lifting.
Mix equal volumes of resin (Part A) and hardener (Part B) by stirring thoroughly in a container. Wait at least 45 minutes before applying. Apply with spraygun, brush or roller at ambient temperature of 60 to 85°F. 2 or more coats are recommended for best results. Wait 3 to 4 hours to recoat. If the surface is difficult to wet it can be primed with Primkote 8006-1.
Heat greatly accelerates hardening. Curing (completion of the reaction and full development of all properties) continues for 1 to 2 weeks at room temperature. High-temperature curing can be used to accelerate the hardening and curing process and to maximize hardness, heat and chemical resistance.
- Maintenance
Clean with detergent and water. Scuff marks can be removed with mild abrasive.
