SURFACE PREP
Surface must be clean, dry, and completely free of loose particles, grease, oil, or any substance that would interfere with proper bond. Perform vapor testing to verify that the vapor pressure is below 3lb/ 24hr/1000 sq. ft. If moisture vapor transmission exceeds 3lbs, first use Vapor-Tek 440.
When applying directly to concrete, we recommend either mechanical scarification or acid etching until a suitable profile is achieved (CSP Level 1 or 2). If acid is used to clean the concrete, neutralize the surface completely and rinse it with water prior to application. Concrete must be dry for at least 24-48 hours prior to application.
When applying on a newly coated epoxy, be sure to apply within the epoxy re-coat window to ensure proper adhesion to the epoxy coating. If applying top coat outside of the epoxy’s recoat window the surface must be abraded by using an 80/100 grit sandpaper, diamond or Diamabrush. Be sure to sand the previous coating until no gloss is visible. Before applying the coating, be sure the sanded surface is clean, dry and free of contaminants such as dirt, dust, or other foreign materials.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
Best applied using a 3/8” nap shed-resistant roller. If using a squeegee, we recommend a flat/straight flexible rubber solvent resistant blade. A synthetic bristle brush may be appropriate for cutting in or small-scale applications. Mixing containers are also recommended.
MIXING
Combine two (2) Part A to one (1) Part B, by volume. Kits come prepackaged and should be used in their entirety and should not be broken down. Do not combine multiple kits when mixing. Once the material is opened, it cannot be re-sealed for later use.
Mix Part A in original container by hand using stir stick for one (1) minute. DO NOT MIX AT HIGH SPEED. DO NOT DRILL MIX.
Add Part B into Part A and mix by hand using stir stick for three (3) minutes or until uniform. DO NOT MIX AT HIGH SPEED. DO NOT DRILL MIX. No induction time is required. Material is ready to use once combined. Do not combine more material than can be applied within a 10 - 15 minutes time frame.
APPLICATION
Using a brush, cut in any edges. Pour entire contents into a paint tray or work directly from can. We recommend 18” roller for larger areas. Apply to the floor using a 3/8” nap roller. Apply in a smooth, even, uniform manner. To help prevent visual differences in application be sure to minimize the time between tie-ins. Use control joints or natural breaks as breaking points between mixes. Continue to blend overlaps and roller marks. Do not back roll coating if it begins to tack up. This could trap air into film or cause roller marks. Use a new mixing pail for each kit.
APPLICATION NOTES
To help prevent visual differences between application be sure to minimize the time between tie-ins.
Use control joints or natural breaks as breaking points between mixes.
Apply at 300 to 500 sq ft. per gal kit for best results.
Use a new mixing pail for each kit.
CLEAN UP
Clean brushes, rollers, tools and equipment with lacquer thinner or xylene, follow solvent manufactures safety instructions.
PRECAUTIONS/SAFETY
Refer to the SDS sheet before use. Safety precautions must be strictly followed during storage, handling, and use. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be worn at all times. PPE will include (but is not limited to): Safety glasses with side shields and high-quality nitrile gloves.
MAINTENANCE
To maintain the appearance, it is imperative to have a routine maintenance program. Dirt and debris can quickly scratch and dull the surface. Sweep and mop/scrub floors regularly using soft bristles/ pads and a mild cleaner. Some cleaning products and equipment or improper use of these can damage a surface. Remove spills quickly to minimize damage and/or stains. For systems that support parked vehicles or other heavy items on rubber wheels, place a small piece of nonporous material, such as sheet metal or plexiglass between the tires and floor to prevent tire marks. Reapplication may be necessary in heavy traffic areas.
SHELF LIFE
Shelf life is 12 months when stored in factory-sealed containers indoors at 55°F to 95°F (13°C to 35°C) for Base and Activator. Keep containers tightly sealed. Do not freeze.
