- Surface Preparation
Steel surfaces: Not generally recommended.
Concrete surfaces should be degreased if oil and grease contamination is present. Degreased surface shall be high pressure washed, acid etched and high pressure washed again so surface is clean and free of all grease, oils and surface laitance. Sandblasting and/or scarification may be recommended depending on surface. Existing coatings should be abrasive blasted to clean concrete.
- Mixing
Thoroughly mix Activator into Base with drill with low speed paint paddle. Scrape sides and bottom to ensure complete mixing. Mix by Volume 3 parts Base to 4 part Activator or by Weight 100 grams Base to 63 grams Activator. Do not break-down. Mix entire container of base with the entire container of activator.
- Application
Brush: use medium to stiff bristle of sufficient quality that bristles do not pull out and stick in coating. Trim or tape to <1” nap.
Roller: use good quality 1/8” nap, 1/4” on concrete.
Squeegee: use plastic or hard rubber.- Application Temperature
- Keep between 55 to 95ºF (13 to 35ºC). Substrate : Keep between 45 to 105ºF (7 to 40ºC). The difference in temperature of the substrate and the coating should never exceed 10ºF (5ºC). Substrate shall be a minimum of 5ºF (3ºC) above dew point. Do not use below 50ºF(8ºC).
- Overcoat / Cure Time
By Brush, Roller or Squeegee re-coat between 5 to 6 hours at 77ºF (25ºC). Full cure in 72 hours @ 72ºF.
- Clean Up
Clean tools immediately after use with M.E.K., Acetone, 98+% Isopropyl Alcohol or similar
