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. Mechanical means like Grit Blasting or grinding should be adapted to remove surface contaminants. The surface may be moderately damp but should not suffer water ingress. Acid etching with diluted Hydrochloric acid followed by copious water washing will produce a surface similar in texture to fine/medium grit sand paper. For old floors with heavy oil contamination, detergent washing with mechanical scrubbing should be followed by thorough water washing. For new concrete floors ample time should be allowed after completion of curing. The moisture content before application of the primer should not exceed 5%. Apriming coat of TecR Nova Primer EP should be applied prior to application of TecR Nova FC 300.
Mixing
TecR Nova FC 300 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.
Application
The mix should then be applied over the tack free Primer coat 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 thin neat film is formed without blow holes, air bubbles or fisheyes. The second coat of TecR Nova FC 300 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 48 Hours. The area should then be inspected before being put to use.
