2) Solvent-Free
3) Excellent Adhesion
4) Applies to Damp Concrete
5) Excellent Gloss & Gloss Retention
6) Good Color
7) Excellent Stain Resistant
8) Excellent Hardness Development
9) Rapid Dry Time
10) Easy Clean-up

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.
