M-FLOOR 101 – High Build Epoxy Floor Paint – Rapid Cure

• All oil and grease must be removed from the surface using an appropriate cleaner such as MEK or similar type solvent.
• All surfaces must be abrasive blasted to ISO 8501/4 Standard SA2.5 (SSPC SP10/ NACE 2) minimum blast profile of 75 microns using an angular.
• Once blast cleaned the surface must be degreased and cleaned using MEK or similar type solvent.
• If a delay is likely to occur between blasting and application then it is recommended that a coat of M-PRIME 200 – Aluminium Based Metal Primer to prevent flash rusting.

Existing Concrete

• If the concrete surface is contaminated, pressure wash using clean water.
• Once the concrete is dry lightly abrasive blast or scarify taking care not to expose the aggregate.
• Clean all dust and debris from the surface and take several moisture readings (moisture content should be below 6%).

New Concrete

• Allow new concrete to cure for a minimum of 21 days, lightly abrasive blast or scarify to remove any surface laitance.
• Clean all dust and debris from the surface and take several moisture readings (moisture content should be below 6%).

• Do not apply to wet or uncured concrete surfaces.
• Do not apply at temperatures of 3°C or less.

• Transfer the contents of the Curing Agent unit into the Base container.
• Using a low speed electric paddle mixer, mix the 2 components until a uniform material free of any streaks is achieved.
• Once mixing is complete use the mixed paste as soon possible after mixing.

Brush & Roller

• Pour the mixed material into a paint kettle or paint tray (this will maximise the usable life).
• Stripe coat all edges, joints & corners.
• Once the stripe coat has cured and is capable of being overcoated, apply a basecoat at a nominal rate of 0.25 to 0.3kg/m².
• Once the basecoat has cured sufficiently (minimum of 14 hours and before a maximum of 48 hours), apply a second coat at the same rate.
• NOTE: If a non-slip finish is required, broadcast an appropriate aggregate such as Quartz or Dynagrip immediately after the first coat. Brush off excess aggregate the following day and before applying the
  second coat.

• Allow to cure for a minimum of 24 hours @ 20°C prior to light foot traffic access and 48 hours @ 20° prior to vehicular trafficking.
• 7 days cure @ 20°C is recommended prior to exposure to chemicals.
• Lower temperatures will extend the curing time.
