DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is the key to any successful Epoxy application. The surface to be coated should be free of dust, laitance, oils or other contaminants. Water jetting or brisk scrubbing should be adapted to remove surface contaminants. The surface may be moderately damp but should not suffer water ingress. For old Surfaces with heavy oil contamination, detergent washing with mechanical scrubbing should be followed by thorough water washing. For new concrete Surfaces ample time should be allowed after completion of curing. The moisture content before application of the Coating should not exceed 5%. TecR Wave FG can be applied directly to mild steel and concrete surfaces. Priming coat is not always required. In specific cases of highly porous surfaces a priming coat of TecR Nova Primer EP may be applied prior to application of TecR Wave FG.
Mixing
TecR Wave FG is a two component system. For consistent results mix the entire contents of Part-B Hardener to Part-A Base and mix gently for about 3 minutes preferably with a slow speed drill fitted with a stainless steel mixing paddle. The resulting homogenous mix must be of uniform shade. Care should be taken to maintain a clean environment in the mixing area to ensure that the mix is free of any contamination. Ease out air bubbles in the mix before application.
Application
The mix should then be applied over the prepared surface quickly ensuring that the entire mix is used up well within the pot life. The application should be done with a brush and finished with a roller. Ensure that a neat film is formed without blow holes, air bubbles or fisheyes. The second coat of TecR Wave FG should be applied when the first coat has reached tack free stage. Avoid application at temperatures above 35°C or below 15°C.
Post Application
The coated area should be allowed to set at room temperature for a minimum period of 7 days. The coated surface should be washed with clean water before allowing water storage.

PRECAUTIONS
In cases where primer application is required prolonged inhalation of solvent vapors should be avoided and enclosed spaces should be adequately ventilated. Direct contact with skin or eyes should be avoided. Use of gloves, goggles and other protective gear is mandatory. In case of accidental eye contact thorough water washing is advised. This should be followed up with professional medical assistance. Neither the individual components nor the mix should be swallowed.
