Specifications

Area Coverage
A single coat is usually sufficient. Very porous surfaces should be treated first with an Epoxy Primer. Coverage area is approximately 18m² per 4.5L per coat. One coat is normally sufficient.

Fast Curing
Richco Chemical Coating will cure overnight to accept light usage the next day. Full chemical resistance is achieved over five to seven days.

Surface Preparation
Concrete and brick: Concrete to be treated must be dry, at least four weeks old and free of any soft surface laitance, contaminants, and not subject to rising damp. All loose material should be removed. Very smooth bare concrete or concrete with soft surface laitance should be etched. Grease or oil should be removed with a degreasant and the area thoroughly hosed off and allowed to dry. Very smooth previously painted surfaces should be abraded to improve adhesion.
Steel: Remove loose or flaking material, rust and any previous coatings by wire brushing or disc grinding to achieve a bright surface. Oil or grease should be removed with a degreasant and the metal then washed with Water and allowed to dry. Coating should be carried out immediately providing flash rusting has not occurred.

Mixing
The curing agent and resin must be very thoroughly mixed together with a wide bladed tool until an even colour is obtained.

Application
Best results are obtained in warm conditions (minimum 15°C). On horizontal surfaces apply by medium pile type roller in one coat. On vertical surfaces two thin coats are recommended. The second coat should be applied within 24 hours.

Application Tools
Apply Richco Chemical Coating using a medium pile type roller. Mix product with a wide bladed tool.

Cleaning of Application Tools
It is not practical to clean applicators and they should be discarded after use.
