Description
Finpro EP HS is heavy duty 100% solids, epoxy floor coating with high chemical resistance. This versatile product is suitable for industrial and commercial environments providing protection from chemical attack, forklift, vehicular and commercial traffic. Finduro EP HS provides an attractive finish and slip resistant finishes can be achieved with the addition of a suitable slip reducing medium.
1 x 9L Part A Resin, 1 x 5L Part B Hardener
Application Instructions
Surface Preparation
The substrate must be sound, clean and dry to ensure optimal adhesion between floor coating and substrate. Remove surface laitance, contaminants, existing coatings and curing compounds via light grit-blasting or grinding to ensure suitable surface profile to CSP 3 has been achieved.
Prior to application the surface must be free of dust and other debris. Priming is generally not required over a mechanically prepared surface. Application to very porous concrete may require an additional 3rd coat of Finpro EP HS.
Repair imperfections such as holes and cracks where necessary. New concrete must be cured for 28 days prior to application.
Mixing
- Using an electrical low speed (400rpm) mechanical mixer, premix Part A until homogenous. If pack A is neutral, add colour pack and mix it until homogenous.
- Add the Part B (Hardener) to Part A (Base) and mechanically mix for 2 minutes, scrape down sides of vessel so no unmixed material remains and stir for further 2 minutes.
- Leave to stand for 2-5 minutes before application for best results. Mix only the required amount that is needed based on the pot life of the product (dependant on climatic conditions).
- To extend pot life place mixed product in smaller buckets or trays.
Sealer Application
Finpro EP HS can be applied by roller, squeegee or airless spray within 20 minutes of mixing:
Roller/Squeegee
This method is compatible with Finpro EP HS, allowing application of even coats of mixed material to the prepared surface.
For Smooth Finish
- Apply First Coat of Finpro EP HS at a coverage of 4 to 6 sqm per litre.
- Apply Second Coat of Finpro EP HS at a coverage of 5 to 7 sqm per litre.
For Broadcast Non-Slip Finish
- Apply First Coat of Finpro EP HS at a coverage of 4 to 6 sqm per litre.
- Broadcast grit aggregate while the first coat is wet and let it cure overnight. Grit aggregate size depends on the grading requirement.
- Sweep off and remove loose aggregate.
- Apply Second Coat of Finpro EP HS at a coverage of 3 to 4 sqm per litre.
Aggregate size will dictate the level of slip resistance.
Slip Resistant Finishes
Slip resistance may also be increased via non-broadcast method by adding 60 or 80# Alumina Oxide to the final coat at 4% by volume.
