DESCRIPTION AND USES

This epoxy coating is a two - component liquid epoxy emulsion. Applied on interior floors, walls, machinery equipment, it hardens to a tough ceramic - like finish. Particularly suitable on almost any surface, in areas where an inexpensive, easy to clean and wear resistant coating is required.

CHARACTERISTICS

  • Water based
  • No smell, non - toxic, ideal for in-plant application during normal operation
  • Economical
  • Resistant to mild corrosive chemicals
  • Highly scrub and wear resistant
  • Available In pre - portioned units
  • Washable

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Surface preparation

All surfaces to be coated should be free of wash, oil, grease or any other contaminant.

Painted substrate: Sand to remove gloss. Scuff to texture existing coating.


Application

It is recommended to stir part A before adding part B as some soft settling may occur in the containers during storage.

Mix parts A and B mechanically for 5 minutes in recommended proportions.


Apply material according to the recommendations.
PRECAUTIONS

  • Consult Material Safety Data Sheet prior to use.
  • Do not apply material at temperatures below 60º C (16º F).
  • Do not freeze.
  • Material might be affected by certain corrosive chemicals.
  • Lighter Colors may yellow slightly in sunlight, topcoat with UV-resistant urethane to avoid ambering in sunlight.
