Direction for Use

Surface Preparations Steel

• Steel surfaces shall be shot blasted or grit blasted to a nominal Sa 2.5 Swedish standard.
• All dust and grease shall be removed prior to coating application.
• If a delay is likely to occur between blasting and application then it is recommended that a coat of CPR 808 – Metal Primer – Water Based is applied as holding primer to obviate flash rusting.

Mixing

• Pour the contents of the CURING AGENT container into the BASE container and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means until a uniform colour is achieved.

Application

• Apply by brush, or roller at a nominal rate of 0.25 to 0.3kg/m².
• After a minimum of 4 hours and before a maximum of 24 hours, apply a second coat at the same rate.
• Should a non-slip finish be required, then broadcast an appropriate Quartz or other aggregate immediately after the first coat.
• Allow to cure.
• Brush off excess aggregate immediately prior to applying the second coat.

Curing

• Allow to cure for a minimum of 4 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 10 hours @ 20° prior to vehicular trafficking.
• 3 days cure @ 20°C is recommended prior to exposure to chemicals.
• Lower temperatures will extend the curing time.

Equipment Cleaning

• Clean equipment with CPR 201 – Tool Clean Solvent prior to curing of the coating.

Limitations

• Do not apply to wet or uncured concrete surfaces.
• Do not apply at temperatures of 3°C or less.

Coverage
