- Application
- Surface Preparation:
The surface to be coated must be well primed. Remove dust, laitance, grease, oils, dirt, impregnating agents, foreign matter, any previous coatings, and disintegrated substances by mechanical means such as shot-blasting (BLASTRAC) or any other approved method to obtain an ICRI-CSP 3-4 profile. The compressive strength of the concrete must be at least 25 MPa (3625 lbs/in2) after 28 days and the tensile strength at least 1.5 MPa (218 lbs/in2).
- Mixing:
The products must be conditioned at a temperature between 18°C (65°F) and 30°C (86°F). Mix the resin part (A) perfectly before pouring the hardener (part B) according to the indicated mixing ratio. Depending on product amount and size of mixing equipment, mix for 1 to 3 minutes at low speed (300 to 450 rpm). During mixing, scrape the walls and bottom of the container at least once with a trowel to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
- Application:
Primer coat: UCT-PU
Apply the coating using a rubber squeegee and pass a roller to obtain a uniform coating. Apply evenly and avoid creating excess pools of material.
Finish coat: PACT-8000
Apply the coating using a rubber squeegee and pass a roller to obtain a uniform coating. Apply evenly and avoid creating excess pools of material.- Restrictions
- Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C / 50°F or above 30°C / 86°F.
- The relative humidity of the surrounding work environment during the application of the coating and throughout the curing process should not exceed 85%.
- Substrate temperature must be 3°C (5.5°F) above dew point measured.
- Humidity content of substrate must be <4% when coating is applied.
- Do not apply on porous surfaces where a transfer of humidity may occur during the application.
- The application of this coating on an interior or exterior substrate without a moisture barrier is at risk of detachment (by hydrostatic pressure).
- Protect the coating from all sources of moisture for a period of 48 hours.
