- Features/Benefits
- Industrial grade strength.
- Self-Leveling properties for a smooth “glasslike” finish.
- Resists heavy traffic, corrosion, and chemicals.
- Recommended for indoor use only.
- Low odor and solvent-free.
- Can be used as a durable clear coat over painted surfaces.
Applications & Uses
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Recommended Uses
For use on all interior concrete, block and masonry surfaces.
- Special Notes
Part A (Epoxy) must be used with Part B (Activator).
- Coverage
100 Sq Ft. /Gal @ 12 mils. (Actual coverage may vary depending on type of substrate, and application method.)
- Key Attributes
- Application Temperatures: 60 - 90 °F
- Application Tools: Brush, roller, or spray.
- Thinner: Xylene or Lacquer Thinner
- Clean Up: Xylene
- Cleaning
- Remove all foreign contaminations; i.e., oils, grease, stains, mastic, etc.
- Cleaners for oils, grease and wax must penetrate into the substrate, float the contamination to the surface where it can be washed away.
- Use 4-6 oz. tri-sodium phosphate, or soilax, per gallon of water. Scrub into the concrete and allow to penetrate for 5-10 minutes.
- Do not allow cleaning mixture to dry before flushing away with water completely.
- If cleaning mixture is allowed to dry on surface it will leave a residue that can prevent adhesion, repeat until all embedded oils are removed.
- Etching
- After cleaning, acid etch with Muriatic Acid.
- This does not clean the concrete, it only opens the surface to obtain proper adhesion.
- Mix one part acid and three parts water (coverage 300-400 sq. ft. per gallon mix). Scrub into the surface with broom and allow to foam.
- Do not allow acid mixture to dry. Flush completely with water and allow to dry.
- If a residual powder remains that can be scraped with a knife, repeat etching and rinsing process.
- Avoid contact with skin. Use goggles and rubber gloves to protect eyes and skin. In case of contact, flush immediately with water.
- Repaint Surfaces
- Double Down Epoxy Sealer will not give maximum durability if applied over old paint which gives indication of future chipping or peeling.
- Old paints should be removed by sand blasting, if not test in several places before application.
- If test indicates no evidence of lifting, peeling, etc. it is reasonably safe to proceed with application.
- Application
- Mix part A with entire contents of Parts B.
- Stir thoroughly using a drill mixer.
- Mix only the amount to be used immediately.
- Apply with brush, roller, or spray to achieve an even coat.
- Mixed material must be used in 1 hour or gelation (solidification) will occur.
- Time to gel (pot life) will vary with temperature. High temperatures will significantly reduce pot life.
