Epoxy Bond Coat – 40% Solids Water‑Based Epoxy Primer

First Coat - Direct to Concrete 400-600 sqft per kit. Coverage varies
with the surface texture of the concrete, temperature of the concrete,
and ambient conditions.

The concrete surface must be deemed mechanically and structurally
sound, thoroughly clean of debris and completely dry. Concrete must be
fully cured a minimum of 28 days.

It is recommended to prepare
the concrete surface by mechanical means such as shot blasting or
diamond grinding with 30 grit or coarser diamonds to achieve a CSP-2 to
CSP-3 profile.

Vacuum concrete surface several times until dust
thoroughly removed. If applying over an existing, fully bonded coating
that is outside its recommended recoat window, the surface should be
sanded thoroughly with a 60-120 grit sanding screen until the surface is
completely dulled with scratches.

Vacuum dust thoroughly, rinse with clean water and remove excess water with a wet/dry vacuum or floor scrubber.

Allow surface to dry completely prior to application of coating. Where
applicable and with adequate ventilation, wipe the surface with acetone
and a microfiber dust mop.

CAUTION: Acetone is extremely
flammable! If using acetone follow all safety precautions, make sure no
pilot lights, open flames, sources of static electricity, sparks or
extreme heat sources are present. Use recommended personal protection
for acetone.

If mechanical means of preparation are not
suitable, it is recommended to prepare the surface with 4 parts water to
1 part muriatic acid. This preparation method is only suitable for
completely un-sealed, bare concrete surfaces.

Apply acid solution
evenly on the surface using brushes, mops, brooms or an approved floor
scrubber and keep wet on the surface of 10 - 15 minutes. Remove excess
acid solution with a wet/dry vacuum of floor scrubber. Rinse surface
thoroughly with clean water and on the final rinse use a neutralizing
agent to neutralize the surface pH. Inspect the floor to ensure the
surface has reached an even and adequate surface profile. Repeat the
acid etch and neutralizing steps as necessary to achieve correct
profile. Allow the floor to dry thoroughly for 24-72 hours prior to
applying this product. ALWAYS use proper personal protective equipment
when working with muriatic acid.

Substrate, air and material
temperatures must be no less than 50°F and not exceed 80°F. If applied
outside these limits the coating may not achieve adequate film formation
and may have excessive air entrapment, bubbles, blushing or hazing.
Please note that higher substrate, air and material temperatures as well
as excessive humidity may speed the cure rate of this product. Cooler
temperatures and lower humidity may slow the cure rate of this product.

TINTING: Tint with Bond Coat Color Pack (refer to TDS prior to use).
32 oz. per 2 gallon kit is suggested for a solid, opaque finish. Always
add color to Part A and drill mix for 2-3 minutes prior to blending A
and B. Color may settle during long term storage and be difficult to
redistribute. Always test for color acceptance prior to full
application. Multiple coats may be necessary for total opacity. Refer to
physical Bond Coat Color Pack chart for color selection.

MIXING:
If mixing less than a full kit, mix Part A and Part B separately with a
stir stick, low speed mixer or vigorously shake containers prior to
measuring out the smaller kit to ensure uniform distribution of all
ingredients. In a clean mixing container, blend 1 Parts A and 1 Part B
using a drill mixer for 2-3 minutes. Avoid creating a vortex in the
material which could introduce air and/or moisture content to the
mixture. Do not mix more than can be applied within the usable pot life
time frame. DO NOT THIN!

Using a brush and/or 3/8" nap shedless
roller, dip and roll the mixed material from a roller pan. 18" rollers
are recommended for any surface to speed up application time and reduce
roller marks.

Start by placing the wet roller at one corner of an
approximate 4' x 4' square and roll the material at an angle to
opposite corner applying no pressure to the roller. Spread the material
across only that square and immediately back-roll to even out material
and roller lines. Adjust the size of your square as needed based on the
amount of material being applied with the roller. After finishing the
square, move on to the next square using the same technique. While
applying keep a wet edge to prevent roller marks. It is recommended to
work in sections usually using control joints as dividers to ensure
proper application results. Apply the mixed material within the usable
pot life time frame. If the material becomes thick while applying and
sticking to the roller, stop applying and discard the mixed material. At
this point it has reached the end of the usable pot life. Do not allow
to puddle! Use a brush to remove excess coating in joints. An airless or
HVLP sprayer may also be used.

RECOATING: Note that for best
results it is recommended to re-coat Epoxy Bond Coat as soon as one can
walk onto the surface without imprinting or making an impression on the
surface, typically 4 - 6 hours. (This is especially true when
re-coating with 100% solids epoxy.) If possible, recoat within the
suggested recoat window located on page 1. Apply additional coats in the
same manner as the first coat. Note that higher substrate, air and
material temperatures as well as excessive humidity may greatly reduce
the acceptable recoat window of this product. When working in higher
temperatures, always recoat as early in the recoat window as possible to
avoid failure between coats. If recoating outside the suggested recoat
window (see page 1) or beyond 24 hours, sand using a 220 grit or coarser
sanding screen to ensure adequate adhesion between coats. Vacuum dust
thoroughly, rinse with clean water and remove excess water with a
wet/dry vacuum or floor scrubber. Allow surface to dry completely prior
to application of coating. Where applicable and with adequate
ventilation, wipe the surface with acetone and a microfiber dust mop.

CAUTION:
Acetone is extremely flammable! If using acetone follow all safety
precautions, make sure no pilot lights, open flames, sources of static
electricity, sparks or extreme heat sources are present. Use recommended
personal protection for acetone.

PLEASE NOTE: Applying
material outside the suggested parameters may result in product failure.
It is always recommended to test the product in a small, inconspicuous
area (on the same concrete substrate) for desired results prior to
application. Coverage rates may vary for all coatings and substrates
depending on porosity, density, texture etc. When applying, adhere to
suggested coverage rates. Applying too thin of a coating may cause
inadequate film formation, limited performance expectations and/or
undesirable finish. Applying too thick may result to bubbling, hazing,
etc. DO NOT USE ON BRICK.
