Application Steps
1. Surface Preparation
The surface to be applied must be clean, sound, and dry. Loose particles, oil, and dirt on concrete surfaces must be completely removed. Surface roughening can be performed using sanding, milling, or sandblasting methods. On metal surfaces, rust and oxide layers must be completely removed.
2. Mixing Preparation
Component A (resin) and Component B (hardener) must be mixed according to the ratios specified by the manufacturer. Mixing should be performed with a low-speed mixer for approximately 3–5 minutes until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
The application time of the prepared mixture is approximately 30–40 minutes.
3. Application
The product can be applied using a roller, brush, or airless spray equipment.
Generally, one or two coats are sufficient. A minimum waiting period of 12 hours between coats is recommended.
The number of coats can be increased according to the required film thickness.
4. Curing
During application, the ambient temperature should be between +10°C and +30°C.
-
Opening to pedestrian traffic: approximately 24 hours
-
Opening to vehicle traffic: approximately 7 days
Application Recommendations
-
The surface temperature should be at least 3°C above the dew point.
-
Mixing ratios must be strictly followed and no solvent should be added to the mixture.
-
Surface moisture content should not exceed 4%.
-
Good ventilation of the application area is recommended.
-
The coating should not be exposed to water, oil, or chemicals before full curing is completed.
