INDUSTRIAL EPOXY FLOOR COATINGS - PAGE 1 OF 2 |
|
General Description: Pruett-Schaffer 80-, 84-, and 85-Series Industrial Epoxy Floor Coatings are two-component epoxy-phenalkamine and epoxy-cycloaliphatic amine type self-leveling floor coating systems. When applied over properly prepared and primed concrete substrates, they will provide state of the art protection from acids, alkalis, oils, fuels, solvents, salt and moisture. These monolithic coatings can be used in secondary containment areas and on manufacturing floors subject to extreme conditions; and since they are also beautiful, can be used in utility areas, lobbies, warehouses, and other spaces subject to heavy pedestrian traffic and soiling. This primer/midcoat-topcoat/ or optional clearcoat is designed to be visually attractive as well as functional. If clearcoating, optional color coordinated vinyl chips may be broadcast under the clear topcoat to create an attractive granite-like appearance. It can be used over new floors to enhance their beauty and serviceability, or over older floors to restore structural integrity and functionality at a fraction of the cost of concrete slab replacement. This product is not intended for consumer use, and should only be used by experienced professional applicators. Surface Preparation: Remove heavy accumulations of grease and oil, if present, with solvents or by power washing with a water/detergent solution. Sandblast, shotblast, or otherwise prepare the area to be primed to remove all existing coatings and contaminants that may have penetrated the surface. Vacuum to remove

sand and debris. Acid etching is not recommended as a preparation technique. Cracks wider than 1/8 inch, spalled, or damaged areas should be repaired with an epoxy-surfacing compound, such as Pruett-Schaffer’s 12-Series Epoxy Floor Surfacers, or equivalent, before priming.Application method: After preparing the floor per instructions, prime with 80-1 Epoxy floor primer (follow application directions for primer). To apply the pigmented midcoat/topcoat, pour approximately 2 or 3 gallons onto the floor at a time with a properly notched squeegee (see Table 1) to obtain the desired film thickness. Table 1 Squeegee Notch Coating Dry Film Size Build 3/32 inch 20-mils 7/32 inch 40-mils 7/16 inch 70-mils Apply using a cross-coat pattern to assure complete wetting of the primed surface, areas adjacent to obstructions may be coated with a brush or short napped roller (1/4 inch or less). If the coating contains entrapped air bubbles due to mixing, they may be released by working it with a spiked roller called a ‘porcupine roller’. Spiked shoes are useful for walking on coated areas with minimum disturbance. If decorative vinyl chips are desired, apply while the midcoat is still wet, preferably immediately after application of a 5-gallon batch. The chips should be spread evenly over the surface by hand, where they will partially sink into the coating. |
Visually appealing results have been obtained by spreading a mixture of 10 parts black to 7 parts white vinyl chips at a rate of 4 to 5 pounds per 1000 square feet onto the Beige midcoat. If the floor is being poured on successive days, leave a 6 inch wet edge by omitting the vinyl chips until the next pass in order to to tie the midcoats tightly together. After allowing for curing, sweep or vacuum away vinyl chips that have not firmly adhered to the midcoat. Apply clear topcoat in a similar manner, following product Technical Data Sheet directions. Cure Times: The primer cures tack free in 8 hours at 70 0F; it must be recoated or topcoated within 36 hours or reduced intercoat adhesion may occur. The midcoat/topcoat cures tack free in 8 to 12 hours with substrate temperatures at 70 0F. It must be topcoated within 48 hours or reduced intercoat adhesion may occur. Longer curing times may be necessary when substrate temperatures fall below 50 0F. If touchup is necessary, it must be done within 24 hours, or reduced adhesion may occur. Light hand sanding with fine paper will aid intercoat adhesion at the touchup areas. Sanded areas will not be visible after the clearcoat is applied. At 70 0F, the clear topcoat will cure to light foot traffic in 24 hours; ultimate cure will be reached in 7-10 days. If touchup is necessary, it must be done within 24 hours, or reduced adhesion may occur. Light hand sanding with fine paper will aid intercoat adhesion at the touchup areas. Sanded areas will not be visible after the clearcoat is applied.
