Benefits
Typical Applications
Richco Pitch Epoxy is ideal for car parks, driveways, footpaths and roads.
Minimal Downtime
Richco Pitch Epoxy is quick drying and is applied in one coat, this allows the area to be opended for light traffic within 6 hours.
Appearance
Richco Pitch Epoxy dries to a low sheen finish. The product is intended for the refurbishment of external areas. As the surface starts to wear the background will show through. To maintain the surface it will require re-coating regularly depending on traffic.

Installation Guide
Curing Time
This product will normally cure overnight at 15°C to accept light foot traffic the next day. Full chemical and wear resistance
is achieved over 7 days (at a minimum constant temp of
15°C). Water should not be allowed to lie on the surface for at least 7 days. Avoid washing the surface for 7 days after coating.
Surface Preparation
The substrate should be clean, free from laitance, oil, grease or other agents which may impair adhesion. Techniques should include one or more of the following, depending on how contaminated the substrate is:- acid etching - light mechanical scabbling - blasting - grinding or degreasing.
Priming
A primer is not generally required, epoxy resin coatings can bubble if applied direct to open textured or very porous surfaces.
If your surface is porous, please use Richco Epoxy Primer.
Mixing
The curing agent and resin must be very thoroughly mixed together with a wide bladed tool until an even colour is obtained.
Application
Apply by brush or roller, re-coating should take place as soon as possible to achieve good intercoat adhesion properties, preferably on the following day. If more than one day elapses between coats, abrade the surface lightly with glass paper, before re-coating.
