Surface Preparation: Concrete and coated concrete surfaces must be sound, clean, dry and free of contaminants such as dirt, dust, grease, oil, silicones and other contaminants that may negatively affect adhesion.
Moisture Vapor Barrier: A suitable moisture barrier must be in place for concrete slabs on-grade. If a moisture barrier is not in place, seasonal variations in ground moisture can cause excessive moisture vapor transmission (MVT) regardless of results measured prior to coating application. MVT rate must not exceed three pounds per 1,000 square feet per 24 hours, as directed by ASTM F1869. The relative humidity (RH) of the slab must not exceed 75%, as directed by ASTM F2170. If there is a moisture situation in excess of the above rate, the use of Simiron MVB Moisture Vapor Barrier Primer may be required. Consult a Simiron Representative for details and application procedures.
Application:
- Mix material by hand using stir stick provided for 2-3 minutes. Do not drill mix. Never mix more than 1 kit at a time.
- Pour mixed material into a roller pan and apply with a non-shed 3/8 in. nap roller cover directly to the floor at 320-535 sq. ft. per gallon. Roll once or twice to evenly cover the area and let the product settle.
- Do not over-roll or roll back in to coating that has begun to tack up. This could trap air into film or cause roller marks.
- To help prevent visual differences in application be sure to minimize the time between tie-ins. Use control joints or natural breaks as breaking points between mixes.
- Apply at 320 to 535 Sq. Ft. per gallon kit for best results.
New/Bare Concrete: New concrete must be cured a minimum of 28 days and should meet moisture vapor transmission (MVT) and relative humidity (RH) thresholds as described previously. Diamond grind or shotblast to a CSP 1-3 surface profile. Refer to SSPC-SP13/NACE 6 or ICRI Technical Guideline No. 310.2. This product is a topcoat, typically applied over an epoxy primer and basecoat. Be sure to apply within the epoxy’s recoat window to ensure proper adhesion to the epoxy coating. If applying topcoat outside of the epoxy’s recoat window the surface must be abraded by using an 80/100 grit sandpaper, diamond or Diamabrush. Be sure to sand the previous coating until no gloss is visible. Vacuum and scrub or tack the area to remove all dust before topcoating.
Previously Coated Surfaces: This product is a topcoat, typically applied over an epoxy system. Clean surface to prevent any contaminants from being spread/redistributed to a greater area being prepared. To recoat the existing surface, the surface must be abraded by using an 80/100 grit sandpaper, diamonds, or Diamabrush. Be sure to sand the previous coating until no gloss is visible. Vacuum and scrub or tack the area to remove all dust before topcoating.
Dry Time: Open working time: 25 Minutes, Tack free: 3-5 Hours, Light Foot Traffic: 12-16 Hours, Full Cure: 5 days. Ideal temerature range for application Air Temp: 45° – 95°F, Surface Temp: 45° – 95°F, Material to be applied: 60° – 85°F. Higher temperatures will shorten the pot-life and open working time with material. Floor temperature must be at least 5 degrees over the current dew point.
Coverage: 535 Sq. Ft. per gallon at 3 mils applied, 320 Sq. Ft. per gallon at 5 mils applied. Use a mil gauge to make sure of proper application thickness.
Clean Up: Clean up mixing and application equipment immediately after use with acetone or xylene; do not use alcohol. Follow solvent manufacturer’s safety instructions. Be sure to follow all local, state and federal regulations when disposing of materials.
