APPLICATION:
Water base epoxy coating is the recommended primer for most epoxy flooring systems. It is also recommended as a stand-alone coating system for:
1) Floor and wall, sealers, primers and topcoats:
2) Industrial maintenance, General metal & transportation primers & topcoats.
The recommended application of this product is by roller. Allow Water base epoxy coating to dry thoroughly before mixing and applying the next coat. It should be tack free and clear in appearance before recoating. |

COVERAGE:
This product should be applied at the rate of approx. 10-12 sq.met per kg. As with all coatings, coverage is dependent on the smoothness & porosity of the surface. As a primer, the coverage rate should be 10 sq.met. per kg. |
| ° |
SURFACE PREPARATION:
The substrate must be clean, dry and sound with new concrete cured for at least 28 days. Remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, waxes, foreign particles, disintegrated or soft base materials, and any previously applied coatings. Create a surface profile on concrete by either steel shot blasting or acid etching. Repair cracks and joints with EPOXY CRACK & PATCH mortar. If the concrete surface is not prepared properly, product adhesion will fail and warranties will be voided.

FOR BEST RESULTS:
•For interior use only
• New Concrete must cure for 28 days
• DO NOT thin Water base epoxy coating
• DO NOT use when humidity Exceeds 85%
• DO NOT allow material to Puddle during application
• Allow each coat to Dry Tack-Free and clear before Recoating
• Apply Each Coat Within 24 hours of previous Coat
• Do NOT APPLY to Structurally Unsound Surfaces.
• Apply a Test Patch to Ensure Adhesion to Old Paint |
| ° |
MIXING:
Avoid mixing and application of this product if the surface temperature is high and humidity is higher then 70% R.H. The temperature of the surface, materials and air in the area of installation all play a role in how the product will apply and cure. Stair part A & B separately and then pour part B in to part A in proper ratio and blend thoroughly for minimum for 2-3 minutes with a spiral mixing blade attached to a low-speed electric drill. Take care not to induce air into the material when mixing. This will cause bubble in the coating when applied. |
| ° |
POT LIFE:
At 30o C and 50% R.H. the Water base epoxy coating has a useful working time or pot life of 25-30 minutes. Using any product beyond this time will result in variable results and therefore any mixed product beyond the pot life should be discarded. |
| ° |
HEALTH & SAFETY:
It is advisable to wear protective wears at the time of use of water base epoxy coating and all other our products. In case of contact with eyes and skin, wash with plenty of water and consult a doctor.
This information, given above in good faith, is based on results gained from experience and tests. However, all recommendations or suggestions are made without guarantee since the conditions of use is beyond our control.
