DESCRIPTION AND FIELDS OF APPLICATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two-component, water-based, epoxy resin enamel for the protection of interior floors subject to pedestrian traffic and rubber-tired vehicles. Filled product with non-slip characteristic, particularly suitable for industrial environments with processing cycles that keep the flooring wet. Available in non-slip filler sizes (max. curve head), 0.15 and 0.30 mm. The neutral version makes it possible to treat substrates whose coloring is to be kept visible. The product is not suitable for the treatment of substrates subject to counterthrusting water and generally wet without adequate treatment.<\/p>\n

MAIN FEATURES<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fillers used provide the coating with high resistance to abrasion, making it suitable for the treatment of surfaces subject to wear or that due to particular conditions (presence of water, condensation, inclination), may become slippery. The protective film prevents oil and water from penetrating the pavement, giving good chemical resistance to the treated substrate. The product has strong adhesive capacity. The material reaches maximum mechanical strength after approx. 10 days after application, at 25\u00b0C. The abrasion resistance and non-slip property are direct consequences of the roughness of the coating. This characteristic can cause dirt retention, which is greater in the rougher version. To decrease it, the surface can be treated with specific clear paints that reduce dirt retention, making it easier to clean without excessively reducing the non-slip properties.<\/p>\n

APPLICATION DATA<\/strong><\/p>\n

The substrate must be clean, free of substances that hinder the adhesion of the product (waxes, silicones, oily traces), compact and very important dry. The presence of water in the flooring, not properly treated, can cause the coating to detach. In the treatment of already painted surfaces, provided that the old coating is well anchored to the substrate, it is necessary to first perform a sampling to check adhesion on the previous product. New cementitious substrates must have been cured for a minimum of 40 days. Absorbent substrates must be preliminarily treated with DUALENE EPX IMC W primer (see data sheet). Very smooth substrates or those with deeply absorbed oily substances must be roughened by appropriate mechanical intervention (shot peening, milling, sanding). Ceramic substrates should be treated by etching with MONOPOL PL 06 and DUALENE EPX FL epoxy primer. Base product and hardener should be mixed thoroughly before use, if possible mechanically. The product is applied without dilution, if necessary adjust the fluidity with max. 5 percent by volume of clean water. Do not exceed dilution so as not to reduce the final thicknesses and with them the performance of the coating. Application is done by roller, brush, spray including airless. When the primer preparation has dried, in any case within 24 h, apply the first coat of top coat. Regardless of the application system adopted wait for complete drying before applying the next layer.
\nSpread the final layer within 24 h in order not to compromise its adhesion on the previous excessively cross-linked layer. Use water immediately after use to clean tools. Operate at temperatures between 10-30\u00b0C (use below 10\u00b0C prevents catalysis reaction), including of the substrate and at R.H. < 80%. For the final layer, use product from a single batch to avoid slight color differences.<\/p>\n

YIELD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yield varies depending on the roughness and absorption of the substrate. The minimum dry film thickness to be deposited for each coat in order to obtain good protection must be 70 microns. On average this is achieved by treating approx. 8-10 m2<\/sup>\/L of product. An optimal coating should provide an overall dry film thickness of not less than 120 microns, obtained by applying two coats with an average total yield of 4-5 m2<\/sup>\/L A third coat may be required under high wear conditions.<\/p>\n
