Colors in Eco-SCT. Tennant Colorants must be added to Eco-SCT. DO NOT use White. Use Light Gray, Canada Gray, Medium Gray, Summer Gray, California Gray, Sandy Beige, Baby Blue, Sky Blue, and Tile Red at a rate of 1/2 pint (8 fluid oz.) per 3.05-gallon (11.55 liter) unit of Eco-SCT. Contact Tennant Company coatings technical support if additional colorants are desired as they may not be compatible.
- Limitations
Colors: Use of color is required in Eco-SCT. DO NOT USE White.
Hide: The topcoat must be applied over a pigmented primer or existing coating of similar color to obtain color hide in Eco-SCT. The resulting system color will be closer to the primer.
Contamination (Fisheyes): Product may fisheye if oil, silicones, mold release agents or other contaminants are present.- Application Equipment
- Protective clothing
- Jiffy® mixer blade [Tennant Part No. 08643-1 (1 gal) or 08643-5 (5 gal)]
- Slow speed drill (500 rpm or less)
- 18-24" Flat rubber squeegee
- 18-24" 1/16" Notched rubber squeegee
- Spiked shoes
- Roller assembly (18")
- Mohair Roller and Refill (18”)
- Disk machine
- 60 grit sandpaper
- 80 grit sandpaper
Assemble Equipment: Due to the limited pot life of the material, all application equipment, etc. should be ready for immediate use. (Clean roller with tape to remove any residual lint.)
- Preparation
Detergent scrub and rinse with clean water to remove surface dirt, grease, oil and contaminants.
One of the following preparation methods may be used:
EasyPrep™: With 25/35 grit concrete tool, coating system must be 10-25 mils (0.25-0.64 mm).
Diamond Grinding: Coating system thickness varies with the type of diamond used. Sweep and vacuum to remove fine dust.
Steel Shot Blast: Coating system must be >16 mils (>0.41 mm). Use magnetic broom to remove excess shot, sweep to remove large debris and vacuum to remove fine dust.
Scarify: Coating system must be >25 mils (>0.64 mm). Sweep to remove large debris and vacuum to remove fine dust.
JOINTS: Depending on the preference of the facility owner, joints may or may not be filled. If the joints are filled, non-moving joints, i.e. contraction or control joints, can be hard filled with thickened, 100% solids epoxy or with a semi-rigid joint filler such as Eco-PJF™ or Eco-EJF™. Construction joints less than one inch wide may also be filled with Eco-PJF. Isolation or expansion joints must be filled with a flexible material designed for this purpose.- Application - Primer
ECO-SCT MUST BE APPLIED OVER A TENNANT 100% SOLIDS EPOXY PRIMER. (See appropriate epoxy product bulletin for application instructions.)
- Application – Build Coat
AT LEAST 8 MILS OF AN EPOXY BUILD COAT ON TOP OF THE EPOXY PRIMER ARE RECOMMENDED FOR COMPLETE HIDE. (See appropriate epoxy product bulletin for application instructions.)
- Application – Topcoat – Eco-SCT
COVERAGE RATE will depend upon required thickness. One unit 3.05 gallons (11.53 liters) of Eco-SCT will cover:
- 326 ft2 (8.02 m2/L) @ 15 mils (0.38 mm) wet/dry film
- 244 ft2 (6.01 m2/L) @ 20 mils (0.51 mm) wet/dry film
PREMIX PART A USING A JIFFY® MIXER BLADE with slow speed drill. POTLIFE: Mix only enough material which can be used within 25 minutes.
PREMIX PART B BY SHAKING THE CAN 10 TIMES before adding it to the Part A.
WHILE CONTINUING TO MIX THE PART A, ADD PART B. MIX FOR 1 MINUTE using a Jiffy® mixer blade and slow speed drill.
POUR MIXED PARTS A/B INTO PART C while mixing.
MIX FOR 3 MINUTES using a Jiffy® mixer blade and slow speed drill. Move the blade up and down the sides of the pail and across the bottom to ensure contents are thoroughly mixed so no dry filler remains. If the filler is not properly dispersed, the electrostatic discharge properties of the coating may be diminished.
COLORS: Use Colorants at a rate of one-half pint (8 fluid oz.) per 3.05-gallons (11.55 liters) of Eco-SCT. Premix Tennant Colorant before adding to the combined Parts A/B/C to ensure uniform color. Add colorant to combined Parts A/B/C and mix using a Jiffy® mixer blade and slow speed drill. Mix until well blended.
IMMEDIATELY POUR ALL THE MIXED MATERIAL onto the floor in a single bead. Wet out the mohair roller (that will later be used for backrolling) in the bead of material.
PUSH THE NOTCHED SQUEEGEE at an even speed with down pressure.
*1/8" (3.18mm) notched squeegee to apply 15-20 mils (0.38-0.51 mm)
*These guidelines were arrived at by using new squeegees on smooth concrete with little applied pressure. The application rate is affected by worn squeegees, applied pressure and texture of the concrete.
ROLL THE MATERIAL PERPENDICULAR TO THE WAY IT WAS SQUEEGEED. Backrolling the material with a mohair roller will more efficiently fill in imperfections (holes).
ALLOW COATING TO CURE 24 HOURS at 75°F (24°C) before opening to light traffic. Allow more time at low temperatures and for heavier traffic.
TEST THE SURFACE RESISTIVITY after 24 hours, to confirm system falls within product specifications. The final reading should be taken after a 7-day cure period and recorded as a baseline for future audits. Full coating properties take 14 days to develop.

Legend:
E - Excellent (No Adverse Effect) - Recommended. F - Fair (Moderate Adverse Effect) - Not recommended.
G - Good (Limited Adverse Effect) - Use for short-term exposure only. P - Poor (Unsatisfactory) - Little or no resistance to chemical.
*Only adverse effect was staining.
- Electrical Grounding
If Eco-SCT is the primary ground, then a grounding system that meets the customer's specifications needs to be connected to the common ground of the facility. If copper tape is used, install the copper tape on the insulator coat, underneath the Eco-SCT.
Safety & Health
- Environmentally & User Friendly
- Reduced solvent means less evaporation and less waste.
- Low Odor. Can be applied during normal business hours.
- Complies with SCAQMD VOC regulations.
- Preliminary Floor Inspections
CHECK THE CONCRETE: Concrete must be structurally sound and free of curing membrane, paint or other sealer. If you suspect that the concrete has been previously sealed, call Tennant Company, technical support for further instructions.
CHECK FOR MOISTURE: Concrete must be dry before application of this floor coating material. Concrete moisture testing must occur. In-situ relative humidity testing is recommended. Readings must be below 75% relative internal concrete humidity. Test methods can be purchased at www.astm.org, see F2170, or follow manufacturer's instructions. If moisture issues are present, the use of a moisture mitigation system may be a consideration. Please call Tennant Company Technical Support for further information / instructions.
NOTE: Although moisture testing is critical, it is not a guarantee against future problems. This is especially true if there is no vapor barrier or the vapor barrier is not functioning properly and/or you suspect you may have concrete contamination. Additional testing may be necessary to determine the vapor barrier and any contamination.
CHECK THE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY: Floor temperature and materials should be between 65°F (18°C) and 90°F (32°C). Humidity must be less than 80%. DO NOT coat unless floor temperature is more than five degrees over the current, local dew point.
