Directions for Use

Surface Preparation

Concrete shall be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual moisture content shall be below 6%. Ensure that the concrete is clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound and existing paint finishes etc. Blow holes and defective concrete shall be made good using a proprietary repair compound e.g. CPR 719 – Epoxy Concrete Patch Repair Mortar or CPR 726 – Concrete Re-surfacer. Suitable mechanical treatment such as vacuum grit blasting is the preferred treatment prior to application as this ensures a mechanical ‘key’ for the coating.
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 410 – Metal Primer – Epoxy WB is applied as holding primer to obviate flash rusting.

Priming

A coat of CPR 401 – Concrete Primer – Epoxy WB is recommended on absorbent concrete surfaces (apply in accordance with CPR 401 – Concrete Primer – Epoxy WB data sheet).
For steel substrates CPR 614 – Bund Coat 3 may be applied directly (see also surface preparation advice)

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, short pile roller or airless spray at a nominal rate of 0.3 to 0.5kg/m² per coat, depending on overall dry film thickness required.
After a minimum of 6 hours @ 20°C but within a maximum of 24 hours, apply a second coat at the same nominal rate.
If the maximum overcoating limit is exceeded, the first coat must be abraded and solvent wiped prior to application of the second coat.
Should a non-slip finish be required, then a broadcast of graded Quartz or Aluminium Oxide shall be made immediately after the first coat.
Brush off excess aggregate prior to application of the second coat.

Equipment Cleaning

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

Curing

Allow to cure for a minimum of 6 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 24 hours @ 20° prior to vehicular trafficking.
Allow a minimum of 5 days cure @ 20°C for optimum chemical resistance.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store in dry conditions, out of direct sunlight, at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C.
CPR 614 – Bund Coat 3 has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in original, unopened containers in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

Packaging

CPR 614 – Bund Coat 3 is supplied in 5kg and 15kg packs.

Coverage

A 5kg pack is sufficient to treat 8.3m2 of surface with the recommended two coat treatment, providing an overall d.f.t. of 500 microns.

Please consult our Technical Team for specific advice.

Limitations

Do not apply to wet or uncured concrete surfaces.
Do not apply at temperatures of 2°C or less.
Discoloration/bleaching of the coating can occur on contact with certain aggressive chemicals, thus leading to contamination/discoloration of the chemical itself.
A clear coat of CPR 603 – Acid Resistant Epoxy Laminating Resin is therefore recommended where chemical storage tanks are involved.
Discoloration is purely a surface effect that does not detract from the efficacy of the coating in service.

Health and Safety

Avoid contact of the material with skin and eyes.
Wear gloves and goggles.
Wash off splashes immediately with soap and water.
Any eye contamination must be rapidly irrigated with copious amounts of clean water, and immediate medical attention sought.
Please refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information.
CPR 614 – Bund Coat 3 shall be applied strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
