DESCRIPTION
OF PRODUCT #85-13586 Clear Epoxy Floor Topcoat
is a high performance, two component, self leveling, epoxy cycloaliphatic
amine clear coating. It is designed to be applied over Pruett-Schaffer
84-Series Epoxy Floor Coatings. It provides a durable, beautiful, high-gloss
finish with excellent resistance to ultraviolet light, acids, alkalies, oils,
fuels, salt, and solvents. This product is designed for use by experienced
professional applica-tors only. PACKAGING This coating is packaged and labeled
as 85-13586-A Clear Epoxy Floor Topcoat and 85-B Hardener Component. Each
component is supplied in 5-gallon pails; the epoxy component is filled to 2
gallons each and the hardener component is filled to 1 gallon each. The
shipping containers may be used for mixing on the job site. SURFACE
PREPARATION Apply over clean, dry, properly cured
84-Series Epoxy Floor Midcoat within the specified recoat window. If the
midcoat has become dust covered, it should be washed with clear water before
topcoating. |
MIXING
INSTRUCTIONS Allow the components to reach room
temperature before using, best results are obtained when applied at 70-80 °F.
Completely pour a pail of B Component into a pail of A component and mix well
with a low speed paddle mixer. Avoid entraining air into the coating. Then
pour the mixed coating into the B Component pail just emptied and mix again
(boxing). APPLICATION
METHOD Use only freshly opened shipping
containers for mixing; mixing epoxy in previously used containers will
accelerate the cure of the system dramatically. Always clean the mixer blades
between each use. Working quickly, apply the mixed
coating to the floor with a 3/32 inch notched squeegee
or short napped roller (¼ inch or less) to smooth out the coating. Apply in a
cross-coat pattern to assure complete wetting of the substrate. Areas
adjacent to obstructions may be coated with a brush or roller. Do not exceed
the recommended dry film thickness; extremely thick films tend to yellow. THINNING
AND CLEANUP Thinning should not be necessary
under normal application conditions. If applying below 50 °F, thin with xylol
to a maximum of ½ quart per mixed 3-gallon pail. |
Clean equipment with xylol or a
xylol/MEK mixture. CURE AND RECOAT TIME This coating cures to light foot
traffic in 48 hours at 70 °F. Ultimate cure and chemical resistance is
achieved in 7-10 days at 70 °F. If touchup is necessary, recoat within 24
hours or reduced intercoat adhesion may occur. Longer curing times may be
necessary when air or substrate temperatures fall below 50 °F. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Number of components: 2 Mix ratio: 2 parts 85-13586-A Epoxy
