Cleargrip PU

Typical Uses

Ideal for use on both concrete and wooden surfaces. Typical applications include factories, warehouses, loading bays and workshops.

Suitable Substrates

Cleargrip™ PU may be applied to moisture-free concrete or timber floors.

Colour

Cleargrip™ PU is a clear, colourless coating.

Packaging

Cleargrip™ PU is supplied in 7kg units.

Coverage

The coverage rate of Cleargrip PU is 30-60m² per 7kg unit, depending on the texture and porosity of the surface.

Cleaning

Tools and equipment should be cleaned whilst resin is still wet with Solvent Cleaner.
Hands and skin should be cleaned immediately with Organic Hand Cleaner.

Shelf Life and Storage

Shelf life in unopened containers is approximately 6 months subject to conditions of storage. Store in a cool, dry, frost-free environment away from sources of ignition, between 10°C-25°C.

Before using this product, please ensure you have received and read carefully both the Hazard Label applied to the container and the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets.

Please consult the technical data sheet for full technical product data.

Application temperature: 10°C – 25°C

Coverage per 7kg unit: 30 – 60m² depending on the texture and porosity of the surface.

Curing times (dependent on temperature and humidity):

Initial cure: 3 – 4 hours

Full cure: Not achieved until 48 hours.

The second coat must be applied between 4-8 hours of the first to ensure a good chemical bond. If this interval is exceeded, abrade the first coat to ensure inter-coat adhesion.

Surface Preparation

THOROUGH SUBSTRATE PREPARATION IS ESSENTIAL.
Recommended methods are:

Powerfloated concrete – use a Vacuum Assisted Shotblaster to remove weak laitance and provide a surface key for the coating. If this is not possible, chemically etch with Polycote Etch IT then rinse thoroughly
and allow to dry.

Loose paint or rust – remove, using a Vacuum Assisted Shotblaster, Floor Grinder or equivalent method.

Loose or friable concrete – use a Vacuum Assisted Shotblaster. If this is not possible, chemically clean with Polycote Etch IT then rinse thoroughly
and allow to dry.

Oil or grease – use Hot Compressed Air for large areas of contamination. Smaller, isolated deposits may be chemically cleaned with Polycote Degrease IT, then rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry.

Timber – remove any loose paint and abrade thoroughly. Ensure surface is
clean and free of dust, oil and grease.

See relevant Data Sheet prior to application.

ONCE PREPARED, THE AREA MUST BE KEPT CLEAN AND FREE OF TRAFFIC.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Cleargrip PU should not be applied to surfaces with a moisture content exceeding 6%.

Mixing

No mixing is required before application. Keep at room temperature 24 hours before use.
NOTE: Containers must be kept sealed as the material will evaporate and react with air/humidity. Opened material must be used within 24 hours.

Application

Apply by brush or roller (nylon medium pile). Two coats are usually sufficient. The second coat must be applied between 4-8 hours after the first to ensure a good chemical bond. If this interval is exceeded, abrade the first coat to ensure inter coat adhesion. For slip resistance, sprinkle Calcined
Bauxite aggregate onto the WET first coat. The normal sprinkling rate is 4-8m² per 1kg aggregate, but this rate may be varied between 0.5m²-
10m² per 1kg, depending on slip resistance required. This method allows selective areas of non-slip treatment to be applied as required. Spiked shoes should be worn to avoid disturbing the wet coating. Allow to cure, then re-coat to encapsulate the aggregate.

Opened material must be used within 24 hours.

Curing Time

Curing time is dependent on temperature and humidity. Initial curing takes place within 3 hours, although full curing is not achieved until 48 hours. The second coat must be applied between 4-8 hours of the first to ensure a good chemical bond. If this interval is exceeded, abrade the first coat to ensure inter coat adhesion.

Application Temperature

Cleargrip PU should be applied at a temperature between +10°C and +25°C.

Coverage

The coverage rate of Cleargrip PU is 30-60m² per 7kg unit, depending on the texture and porosity of the surface.

Cleaning

Tools and equipment should be cleaned whilst resin is still wet with Solvent Cleaner.
Hands and skin should be cleaned immediately with Organic Hand Cleaner.

Shelf Life and Storage

Shelf life in unopened containers is approximately 6 months subject to conditions of storage. Store in a cool, dry, frost-free environment away from sources of ignition, between 10°C-25°C.
