Please consult the technical data sheet for full technical product data.
Preparation:
Thorough substrate preparation is essential.
Prior to application of Flortex® Chemical Coat Slip Resistant, the surface should be primed with Polycote EP Primer or WD Primer, depending on the type of substrate. Please contact Polycote Technical Helpline and prepare the surface in accordance with the appropriate primer Data Sheet.
Should the time lapse between priming and top coat exceed 48 hours, abrade the primer to ensure intercoat adhesion.
Mixing:
Having fully prepared the substrate, stir the individual components before mixing together. Add Part ‘B’ to Part ‘A’ and thoroughly mix for at least 3 minutes. For best results use a heavy duty slow speed drill with a mixing paddle.
Ensure thorough mixing as an unmixed product will result in a poor or non-cure situation.
Application:
Apply by brush, roller or squeegee, making sure that the surface is completely covered. Particular attention should be given to doorways and other areas of high traffic. When finished, DO NOT scrape the remaining contents from the container as this will invariably include unmixed resin.
Two coats are recommended in areas of high chemical aggression.
The ambient temperature of the areas should not fall below 10°C throughout the application and curing period.
To achieve a HIGH BUILD or TEXTURED finish – having applied the resin gradually sprinkle Kiln Dried Aggregate onto the WET resin at a rate of 2-3kg/m2. The quantity of aggregate required will depend on the thickness of the initial coating. If a textured surface is required, all ‘wet spots’ must be re-covered with aggregate.
Please note: spiked rolling is unnecessary for the first coat when using aggregate. Allow first coat to fully cure (preferably 24 hours) before removing all excess aggregate. A final coat of Flortex Chemical Coat Slip Resistant should then be applied using a roller or squeegee. The thickness of this coat may be varied depending on the finish required.
