HOW TO USE 105 100% SOLIDS HIGH BUILD EPOXY COATING SYSTEM

SURFACE PREPARATION

Concrete – All surfaces must be prepared to a structurally dense surface with exposed coarse aggregate to reveal an open texture surface by shot-blasting, Ultra-High Pressure Water Blasting (min. 5000 psi) or other mechanical means. Remove weak, contaminated deteriorated concrete, asphalt materials, oils, dirt, rubber, curing compounds, paint, carbonation, laitance, and other potentially detrimental materials by shot-blasting, ultra-high pressure water blasting, bush hammering or other suitable mechanical means. Surface preparation by bush hammering, grinding, and milling can create minute fractures or micro cracking in the substrate, which may require re-shot blasting to a structurally dense surface with an ICRI profile of CSP #5. Interior Surface may be dry or damp and free of standing water.

Steel – Steel should be cleaned and prepared by sandblasting to conform to SSPC-SP10 Specification with a 4 mil (0.1mm) minimum anchor profile. If flash rust appears, the surface must be re -blasted to obtain minim um anchor profile.

 

MIXING

For best results, prior to mixing condition the components to 75°F (23°C) for 24 hours. Stir each component prior to blending. Proportion one (1) part by volume of Component A and one (1) part of Component B into a clean container with flat wall and bottom. Mix thoroughly for a minimum of three minutes using a low speed drill(600 rpm) and a mixing paddle (e.g.aJiffy®and/orPlungeMixerTM). Keep the paddle below the surface of the material toavoidentrapmentofair.Thoroughmixingofbothcomponentsisimportanttoobtainoptimum results. Carefully scrape the sides and bottom to ensure thorough mixing. Only mix a quantity which can be utilized within the pot life of the material.

APPLICATION

Coverage rate:
(Theoretical for estimating purposes only)
Coverage varies in accordance with technique used, surface, etc.

The following is a theoretical yield based at a given thickness. It does not account for loss of material, for application at greater thicknesses:

E-Bond 105 at 6 to 9 mils: approx. 150 to 250 sq.ft. per gal.

Applying the coating:

Only apply to properly prepared surfaces as described above. Use airless sprayer, brush or a roller with 3/8 or 7/16 inch nap. We recommend two coats at a thickness of 6 to 9 mils with a brush or roller, and 4 to 6 mils with sprayer.

Coating should be applied to surfaces when the ambient temperature and surface temperature will be 50° F and rising for, and during the next 24 hours. The second coat may be applied after the first coat is tack free. Use S-6 and T-6 to clean tools.

Due to many variables in bonding epoxy coating to damp or wet surfaces, be certain to test application under the same conditions as the full scale work.

When bonding to, on slightly wet surfaces, be certain to test if dampness or moisture is caused by hydrostatic pressure prevalent in, on, or below grade applications. Moisture passing through the substrate by pressure during application and curing of epoxy could cause bond failure.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR SURFACE PREPARATION TO AVOID EPOXY INTER-COAT ADHESION PROBLEMS Amine Blush:

Due to humidity and temperatures during curing of epoxies a phenomenon m ay occur creating an Amine Blush to appear on the cured surface of the epoxy. This may appear as a wax-like or greasy film. If the blush is slight it may be hard to detect visually or by touch. Blush will be more noticeable in cool, damp or humid conditions. Amine blush can hinder bonding of subsequent epoxy layers. The “blush” must be removed before applying additional layers of epoxy. An Amine blush is usually formed after the initial set of the epoxy. As a general rule if a second layer of epoxy cannot be applied within 12 hours after the previous application, it is recommended that the surface be properly prepared to remove any blush that may have occurred.

Light sandblasting between coat applications is the recommended procedure for surface preparation to remove blush or contaminants that may create inter-coat adhesion problems.
Amine blush may also be removed by wet sanding.

Some amine blushes may be water soluble. Test with a pressure wash at a minimum 750 psi with injection of sufficient Dawn© Dishwashing Detergent (usually 2-3%) to remove and clean the surface of contaminates. As an alternative wash down and thoroughly scrub the surface between applications with the solution of Dawn© Dishwashing Detergent. Rinse with plenty of fresh water to thoroughly remove the dissolved blush and allow to dry completely before application of the next layer of epoxy.

Note: Most contractor shave advised wash down and scrub with Dawn© Dishwashing Detergent and water is easy and does not create a mess. Do not use solvents.

It is important that the user evaluate a small test area for proper preparation and bond before proceeding with a full scale operation.
