Specifications
Area Coverage
Coverage area is approximately 3.7m² per 25kg at 3mm thick.
Curing Time
Richco Fast Floor will accept foot traffic after approximately 6 hours. Richco Fast Floor will be ready for full use after 24 - 36 hours when laid at depths between 3 - 5mm. These curing times are based on a constant temperature of 15 - 20°C. Do not apply at temperatures lower than 5°C or higher than 30°C.
Surface Preparation
Concrete should be reasonably clean and
free of loose surface material. A good
sweep with a stiff broom is usually
sufficient. Remove heavy oil and grease
contamination using a degreasant. It does not
matter if the concrete is damp.
Priming
Two primers are supplied. Dampen areas of
bare concrete with clean cold water and
leave for 20-30 minutes. Apply Primer 1 to
the prepared surface using a brush or soft
broom and allow it to soak into the
concrete for at least 15-20 minutes. Primer 1
can be left overnight to dry if time permits.
Primer 2 can be applied whilst Primer 1 is
still tacky or if Primer 1 has completely dried.
Apply the primers reasonably evenly to
avoid ponding on the surface.
Mixing
Empty the
large bottle of resin into the bucket and
gradually add the powders ensuring
complete dispersion, stirring and blending
using a slow speed drill fitted with a mixing
blade. Continue
mixing for approximately 3-5 minutes
until an even colour is obtained. The mixed components should
be used immediately.
Application
Pour the mixed components on to the wet
Primer. Using a rectangular trowel
spread the mixed components across the
surface of the concrete at the desired
thickness. It is not
essential that trowel marks are removed at
this stage. Immediately after application a
spiked roller should be used to improve the
finish and release any trapped air.
Work the spiked roller uniformly across the
surface rolling each area 3 or 4 times from
different directions. The spiked roller should
not be used more than 20 minutes after the
product has been applied (less in warm or
very dry conditions) as it will then start to
cure and the roller marks will not disappear.
Application Tools
Apply Richco Flake Floor Coating using a rectangular trowel, spiked roller and a mixing blade for use
with an electric drill.
Cleaning of Application Tools
Applicators should be washed in warm soapy water before the product starts to cure.
