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
New concrete should be at least 21-28 days old or the moisture less than 5%. 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
Add the full contents of Curing Agent Component B to the contents of Epoxy Resin Component A and mix thoroughly 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.
