- Application of Next Layer
- 12°C: min. 24 - 48 hour
- 23°C: min. 12 - 24 hour
- 30°C: min. 12 - 24 hour
- Coverage
0.2 - 0.3 kg/sq.m. per coat (two coats are recommended)
- Fields of Application
- This product can be used to seal and paint floor and wall surfaces made of concrete, cementitious screeds, and plasters in indoor areas such as shops, garages, etc.
- Exterior use is only allowed in conjunction with the KÖSTER BTG System.
- In the BTG System a maximum consumption of 200 - 300 g / m² is applied to the substrate and immediately broadcast to rejection with KÖSTER Color Chips (consumption approximately 300 g / m²).
- This cured layer is subsequently coated with KÖSTER TS transparent (consumption 0.15 - 0.2 kg / m²).
- For further details please see the technical system specifications for the KÖSTER BTG System.
- Substrate
- The substrate to be sealed must be sound and solid, free of dust, oil and grease as well as other bond inhibiting contaminants. Weak and/or contaminated substrates have to be removed down to a clean, sound and solid layer by scarifying, sandblasting or shot blasting.
- Rough substrates (e. g. due to scarifying grooves) are leveled using KÖSTER LF-BM mixed with silica sand (1:4).
- KÖSTER EM-VS can then be applied after approx. 12 hours.
- The minimum adhesive tensile strength of the substrate must be 1.5 N / mm² and the residual moisture content of concrete must not exceed 4% by weight.
- Where moisture from the substrate or a high pH is expected, KÖSTER VAP 2000 should be installed according to the Technical Datasheet.
- Application
Mixing:
- The components should have a temperature of between + 15 °C and + 25 °C before mixing.
- They are mixed intensively using a mechanical stirring device (under 400 rpm) until a homogeneous consistency is reached.
- To avoid mixing failures re-pot the material and mix again.
- Total mixing time is 2 minutes. In order to adjust the processing consistency, 0.4 - 1.2 l of water can be added to the material and mixed in thoroughly.
- When processing multiple units of KÖSTER EMVS, be sure to use exact amounts of water.
- Differences in water amounts will affect the coloration of the material.
Spreading:
- Immediately after mixing the KÖSTER EM-VS is spread evenly onto the substrate using a rubber squeegee and then thoroughly rolled using a short napped roller.
- Be sure that the material does not puddle, for example by flowing into or collecting in surface depressions.
- Overlapping of coats should be kept to a minimum.
- Where scheduling or details cause an interruption to the coating work, the coated area should be masked with tape and the tape removed after a gelling time of approx. 1 hour.
- In this manner a clean seam is achieved.
- If a rough or anti-slip surface is required, the addition of approx. 30% kiln dried silica sand or a light sanding with kiln dried silica sand, for example with a grading fraction of 0.1 - 0.4 mm, is recommended.
- This will raise the material consumption.
- Consumption
- As interior coating: approx. 0.2 - 0.3 kg / m² per work step.
- Two coats are recommended.
- In the KÖSTER BTG System: 200 to 300 g / m² in one work step.
- Cleaning
- Clean tools immediately after use with KÖSTER Universal Cleaner.
- Hardened material is removed mechanically.
- Other
- Liquid polymers react to temperature fluctuations by changing their viscosity and/or curing behavior.
- Application should only be carried out during falling or constant temperatures.
- Low temperatures will slow the reaction; high temperatures and mixing large volumes will increase the reaction rate.
- Protect the coating form moisture of all kinds during application and curing.
