Specifications
Area Coverage
Coverage area is approximately 14m² per 4.5kg unit per coat. One coat is normally sufficient depending on the quality of existing substrate.
Curing Time
This product will normally cure in 4 - 5 hours at 20 °C to accept light traffic. Full chemical and wear resistance is achieved over 7days (at a minimum constant temp of 20 °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
Concrete: 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 and the
area thoroughly hosed off and allowed
to dry. Grease or oil should be
removed with a degreasant and the area thoroughly
hosed off and allowed to dry. Very
smooth previously painted surface
should preferably 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. Grease or oil 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.
Priming
A primer is not generally required,
epoxy resin
coatings can bubble if applied direct to
open textured or very porous surfaces.
We recommend one coat a 4
Hour Epoxy Primer for such surfaces.
Mixing
Mix all components together using a wide bladed tool, continue to mix 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. If a second coat is required allow 4 - 5 hours between coats.
Application Tools
Apply Richco Fast Cure Epoxy Floor Coating using a roller or brush. 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.
