Surface Preparation
Surfaces to be coated must be primed prior to application of SPARTACOTE Vertical HB. Ensure that proper re-coat windows are observed. See applicable primer technical data sheet for surface preparation requirements.
Compatible SPARTACOTE Primers:
- SPARTACOTE General Primer (DS 622.6)
- SPARTACOTE Oil Tolerant Primer (DS 622.9)
- SPARTACOTE WB Epoxy Primer (DS 085.8)
Substrate defects (voids, bugholes, divots, etc.) should be filled smooth with surrounding substrate surface with SPARTACOTE Epoxy Fill Coat (see technical data sheet DS 623.3 for application instructions) prior to the application of SPARTACOTE Vertical HB.
Mixing - by Volume
- SPARTACOTE Vertical HB Pt A: 128 fl.oz. (3.8L)
- SPARTACOTE Vertical HB Pt B: 48 fl.oz. (1.4L)
Prior to mixing, mechanically mix Part A separately for 1- 2 minutes to disperse any pigments or fillers which may have settled. Mix Part A with Part B for 2-3 minutes until a uniform color and consistency is achieved.
Application - Brush/Roller/Squeegee
SPARTACOTE Vertical HB may be applied by brush, roller or squeegee. Suggested application thickness per coat is 6-8 mils (0.15-0.2 mm). Spread evenly over all primed surfaces and backroll with a short nap roller to level
For best results, a total dry film thickness of 12-16 mils is recommended. To achieve this, two coats of SPARTACOTE Vertical HB is required. After the first coat has cured tack free, approximately 10-12 hours at 75°F (24°C), apply a second coat of SPARTACOTE Vertical HB evenly at 6-8 mils (0.15-0.2 mm).
Application - Spraying
Ensure proper PPE is utilized when spraying. SPARTACOTE Vertical HB is a high solids viscous coating and may require adjustments in spray techniques to achieve the desired finish texture. The following spray equipment has been found suitable for spray application.
Pump Ratio: 40:1 ratio
- GPM Output: 2.3 gpm (8.7 L/min)
- Hose Material: 1/2" I.D. (12.7 mm)
- Tip Size: 0.015"-0.021" (0.381-0.533 mm)
- Output PSI: 3000-4000 psi (20.7-27.6 MPa)
- Filter Size: 60 mesh
- Gun: Grayco Flex Plus
To aid in spray application, anti-stick fluoropolymer packings are recommended and can be purchased from the pump manufacturer. Heated plural component spray equipment or thinning will also aid in the application of SPARTACOTE Vertical HB. To optimize intercoat adhesion, appropriate recoat times must be observed. Exposure of the coating to direct sunlight will considerably shorten the recoat times. If recommended recoat times are exceeded, consult a LATICRETE Technical Service Representative; sanding or abrasive blasting may be required.
With all epoxies after priming and before each additional coat, examine the surface for amine blush (oily film). If present, remove by cleaning the surface with acetone.
Notes
Mock-ups and field test areas are required in order to validate performance and appearance related characteristics (including but not limited to color, inherent surface variations, wear, anti dusting, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, stain resistance, coefficient of friction, etc.) to ensure system performance as specified for the intended use, and to determine approval of the coating system. Variability in job site conditions (including but not limited to surface preparation, sunlight, humidity, dew point, temperature, etc.) during application of SPARTACOTE products may lead to fisheyes, blistering, pinholes, wrinkling, or outgassing of air in the concrete and are not product defects. Double priming, shading or evening application may be required.
Cleaning
Use acetone or xylene to clean tools and equipment.- Maintenance
The long-term performance, appearance, and life expectancy of wear surface products are critically dependent upon a good routine maintenance program designed specifically for the installed wear surface. SPARTACOTE floor coating systems are nonporous, causing dirt and contaminants to remain on the surface. The use of properly placed walk-off mats, inside and outside, will help increase the life of the floor. Recommend maintenance program consist of frequent and thorough cleaning utilizing a neutral pH cleaner. The frequency of washing will vary depending on floor usage type, traffic, and age.
