Direction for Use

Surface Preparations

• Ensure that surfaces are clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound, existing paint finishes, etc.
• Suitable mechanical treatment, such as vacuum grit blasting, is recommended to ensure a clean, uncontaminated substrate.

Mixing

• Pour the contents of the BASE container into the CURING AGENT container and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means until a uniform consistency is achieved.
• The mixed material may be thinned by the addition of up to a maximum of 10% by volume of clean, potable water.

Application

• Apply by brush, roller or airless spray at a nominal rate of 0.20 to 0.25kg/m². per coat, equivalent to a dry film thickness of 100-125 microns.
• A minimum two coat treatment is recommended, applying subsequent coats after a minimum interval of 3 hours cure at 20°C.
• Ensure good ventilation after application, as this speeds up the physical drying stage of the curing process.
• Should a coarse slip resistant finish be required, a suitable Quartz should be scattered onto the first coat whilst still wet.
• The following day any excess Quartz may be swept from the surface using a clean brush prior to application of the second coat.
• Please consult our Technical Team regarding slip-resistant finishes for further information

Curing

• Allow to cure for a minimum of 3 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 8 hours @ 20° prior to vehicular trafficking.

• Good ventilation is essential for satisfactory cure.
• Lower temperatures will extend the curing time.

Equipment Cleaning

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