Areas of Application
}} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }}

Aggressive chemical tank linings. Secondary chemical containment. Industrial floors. Battery charge rooms / stations. Chemical processing industries. Chemical storage godowns. Extremely harsh chemical spillage areas. Pulp & paper industries. Pharmaceutical industries. Water & waste water storages.

Features & Benefits

}} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }}

Easy to trowel. Sand finish. Fast curing. Low odour. Low VOC. Excellent resistance to mineral & organic acids, alkalies & solvents. High solids yields durable surface. Strong bond to concrete surface. Can be applied in running industry. Can be used in immersion service upto 120c & non immersion (dry) service upto 150c.

Method of Application The quality & performance of final coating is dependent on the substrate & material / application temperature. The recommended substrate temperature shall be min 5 c & max 35 c
1 S U R FAC E P R E PA R AT I O N

The new concrete surface must be atleast 28 days cured & should have moisture content less than 5% before priming.
}}

Clean the surface thorough by wire brushing & cleaning of dust by air blower or compressed oil free air. Clean the old concrete surface by sand / grit blasting to remove laitance & loosely bonded materials. Completely remove the oil & grease if present by degreasing using solvents like Toluene or Xylene Degreased surface shall be high pressure water washed, acid etched if required & high pressure water washed again. Substrate should be sound & free from contamination of mortar, paint splashes & curing compound. Coated surface shall be abrasive blasted & clean. Remove all the contaminations that could affect the bond to concrete. If possible wash the surface with clean water & allow it to dry completely before priming. Weak & damaged concrete must be removed & replaced with a suitable polymer modified or epoxy mortar. The surface defects should be repaired.

2 PRIMING
}}

3 MIXING
}} }} }}

Mix Part A & Part B in their individual containers to uniform consistency & appearance. Transfer Part A & Part B components into a clean & dry mixing vessel. Mix together using a slow speed (200 rpm) drill with a spiral mixing head to a homogeneous & uniform mix. Scrape the sides & bottom of the mixing container during mixing. Start addition of Part C, filler component into the liquid mix in parts under continuous stirring. Mix to a uniform & homogeneous thick mortar consistency.

}} }}

4 APPLICATION
}}

Spread mixed material over primed surface by trowel. Compact the spread mortar by steel trowel to a uniform & leveled surface.

5 CLEANING
}}

Clean tools & equipments immediately after use with solvents like Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone or Toluene.

Precautions & Limitations

}}

Theoretical thickness given is based on measurement over smooth & non porous surface. The actual coverage & thickness of the coating will vary depending upon the field substrate texture, roughness& evenness. It is the responsibility of the applicator to apply sufficient material to achieve minimum dry film thickness. The containers must be tightly closed when not in use. Avoid naked flames, use flame proof electrical appliances. No smoking during use.

Health & Safety Precautions

}}

Skin Contact : Wash skin with soap & water. remove contaminated clothes. See medical attention if irritation persists. Do not use solvent. Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Eye lids should be held away from the eye ball to ensure thorough rinsing. Consult Physician if irritation persists. Inhalation: Move the subject to fresh air. if breathing is difficult or not breathing, give artificial respiration. obtain medical attention. Ingestion: Do not induce vomitting. never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. call a Physician. Note To Physician: There is no specific antidote. Treatment should be given symptomatically on the clinical conditions. Fire Extinguishing Media: Both materials are combustible. Use foam, Dry chemical Powder or CO2 to extinguish the fire. Thermal Decomposition Product: These products may be toxic. may yield acrid smoke and irritating gases with oxides of carbon and other toxic vapours. Special Fire Fighting Procedure: It is advisable to use self contained breathing apparatus or equivalent [MSHA/ NIOSH approved] with full protective clothing. Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: Use water spray to cool the containers. material can form explosive mixture with air in hot condition.
