Application Method:
Application:
The material once mixed should be used within its specified pot life; the material is poured on to the primed surface and spread evenly to the required thickness with a 2mm ‘V’ notched steel trowel. Care should be taken not to over work the resin. After spreading, the wet epoxy should be firmly rolled with a spiked nylon roller to help release any entrapped air in the material and assist leveling and removing any tool marks. The rolling should be carried out using a ‘back and forth’ technique along the same path. An overlap of 50% with adjacent paths is recommended.
Surface Preparation:
The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient compressive strength (minimum 20 N/mm2) with a minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm2 for a durable and lasting flooring. The substrate must be level, clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease etc. All previous floor coating if any must be mechanically removed to the maximum extent possible. It is acceptable to re-lay on floor coating that has a firm bond (pull out strength of 1.5 N/mm2). Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning, scarifying or grinding equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open textured surface. Weak concrete must be re moved and surface defects such as blowholes and voids must be fully exposed. Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and surface leveling must be carried out using appropriate repair product. The concrete or screed substrate has to be primed or leveled in order to achieve an even surface. High spots must be removed by e.g. grinding. All dust, loose and friable material must be completely removed from all surfaces before
application of the product, Preferably by brush and/or vacuum. Ensure moisture content of the concrete surface is below 4 % – no rising moisture according to ASTM D 4263 (Polyethylene sheet) and above dew point.
New Concrete: Normal priming is limited to application below 4% surface moisture in concrete. If the moisture content is more, special primers for damp moist floors have to be applied. MYK arment special primers FloArm Primer 1250 or moisture barrier such as the Cempo® series of products are recommended. Consult the Technical Services team of MYK arment for product specification or guidance
Priming: The concrete surface after proper and thorough surface preparation has to be primed with FloArm Primer 1260 or 1290. The primer is a solvent free resin system. It is designed for better adhesion with the substrate and the flooring system. The primer should be mixed in the given proportions supplied. The entire contents of the hardener should be poured into the base and should be mixed
usinga low speed drill machine with an attachment for about 3 minutes @ (150-200 RPM) to get a homogeneous mix. Once mixed, the primer should be applied immediately on to the prepared concrete surface. After priming, the surface has to be kept for drying – approximately 8-12 hrs. Depending on the ambient temperature before proceed to lay FloArm Top SL1-ST
Mixing: The pre-weighed packs of the components – resin, hardener, filler and pigment has to be mixed for 3 to 4minutes using a low speed electric stirrer (300 -400 rpm) with a spiral shaped stirrer. The components should be mixed in a suitably sized mixing vessel. The pigment should be added to the base and should be stirred for 30seconds till proper dispersion of pigment paste in base. The hardener is then added to the base for about3 to 4 minutes slowly until an even color, texture is obtained. Add
the filler slowly into the mixing container, ensure stirring while pouring.
Important: Do not dump the powder component all at once. Mix till the material is completely homogeneous. Mix only that much quantity that could be finished in the
stipulated pot life. We are not recommending part mixing, unless under expert supervision.
