Directions for Use

Surface Preparation Concrete

Concrete surfaces shall be a minimum of 7 days old.
Ensure that the concrete is clean and free from dust, laitance, grease, oil, curing compound, and existing paint finishes, etc.
Suitable mechanical treatment such as vacuum grit blasting or mechanical scabbling is recommended to ensure the removal of contaminants and to provide a mechanical ‘key’ for the primer.
Ensure that no standing water is present on the surface.

Mixing

Pour the contents of the Catalyst container into the Base container, add the Filler component, and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means.

Application

Apply by squeegee to distribute evenly over the floor, and then use a long nap lambswool roller to achieve a nominal application rate of 0.4-0.8kg/m², depending on substrate absorbency.
Allow to cure for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to applying any other of the CPR MMA product range.
For temperatures below 5°C contact our Technical Department for advice.
