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 srubbing should be adapted to remove surface contaminants. 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 Beat EP can be applied directly to mild steel and concrete surfaces. Mild Steel Surfaces should be free of rust and scales while applying Tec Beat EP. Ideally Grit Blasting would be advised. Priming coat is not always required. In specific cased of highly porous Concrete surfaces a priming coat of TecR Nova Primer EP may be applied prior to application of TecR Beat EP.
Mixing
TecR Beat EP is a two component system. For consistent results mix the entire contents of Part-B – Hardener to PartA- 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 a 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. Do not thin.
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 Beat EP 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.
