EXECUTION.
SEQUENCE OF APPLICATION CAR
PARKING AREAS (NON-EXPOSED).
Surface Preparation &
Minor Repairs.
Application of Primer coat.
Broadcast of anti-slip
aggregates.
Application of Topcoat of
Finish.
Application of two coats of
Line Marking.
SEQUENCE OF APPLICATION BOH
AREAS.
Surface Preparation &
Minor Repairs.
Application of First coat of
Solvent-free epoxy resin floor coating.
Application of Second coat of Solvent-free epoxy resin floor
coating.
- BASE.
Reinforced concrete slab sound & dry with properly finished surface joints &
edges.
Concrete compressive
strength should be greater than 25N/mm2.
Application Temperature of 10-35°C and concrete moisture content less than 75%
relative humidity.
- SURFACE PREPARATION.
Prior to application, Mock-up needs to be performed and approved by
the Engineer.
Prior to starting preparation, close the area to be prepared to all traffic and other
trades.
Run Shot Blasting or light grinding machine onto the concrete surface to achieve
medium sandpaper
roughness and open concrete surface pores.
If any part of the floor is contaminated by oil, grease or fuel, the contamination
should be removed before
other forms of preparation are undertaken.
Minor surface defects exposed during surface preparation such as minor cracks or
pinholes shall be filled with epoxy mortar putty as per manufacturer’s
recommendation.
When floor preparation is complete, vacuum the area to remove all dust and
debris.
Place 50mm wide masking tape
along free edges.
- MIXING:
The base and hardener components should be thoroughly stirred before the two
are mixed.
The entire contents of the hardener container should be poured into the base
container and the two materials mixed thoroughly for 3 to 5 minutes, till reaching
homogenous
mix.
Add the color pot and
mix.
- APPLICATION OF COATING TO CAR PARKING AREAS.
The material should be applied onto the prepared substrate as soon as mixing is
complete.
Once the surface is prepared apply the Primer coat using a roller or brush
spreading evenly and slowly, at a coverage rate of 0.65kg/m2
as per manufacturer’s recommendations.
Whilst the first coat is still wet broadcast anti slip aggregates as per manufacturers
recommendations. When the Primer coat has reached initial cure overnight, the
excess aggregates should be
vacuum cleaned from the surface.
Apply the Topcoat finish using a roller or brush. The Topcoat must be applied at a
coverage rate as per
manufacturer’s recommendations and allow to cure.
The topcoat should be allowed to cure for a minimum of 24 hours from application
prior to allowing foot
traffic and 72 hours prior Allowing vehicular traffic.
Apply two coats of Line Marker as per manufacturer’s recommendations with a
minimum overcoating time of 1 hour between coats and a coverage rate of 0.03
kg/m2.
