Gripfast is supplied in
composite packs, each containing sufficient material to provide a
slip-resistant Epoxy coating system for 5 square metres of surface.
PROCEDURE
1. Surface Preparation
a) Concrete shall be a minimum of 21 days old and/or the residual
moisture content shall be below 6%. The concrete shall be free from
dust, laitance, grease, oil and any previous coatings. Smooth
concrete, or concrete with soft laitance, shall be acid etched with a
proprietary solution, and the area rinsed with clean water and allowed
to dry.
b) Metal Surfaces surfaces shall be wire brushed or power disced to
remove any rust and loose or flaking material. Grit blasting is
recommended, where practical, for optimum performance. Coating
application should be carried out immediately after preparation.
c) Wood surfaces shall be sanded to a smooth finish, and all previous
coating removed.
Previously untreated wood shall be sealed with a coat of WB Primer.
2. Mixing
Pour the contents of the CURING AGENT container into that of the BASE
component and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means until a
uniform colour and consistency is achieved.
3. Application
Pour the mixed liquid components into a shallow roller tray. Apply by
medium pile roller (not foam), to a measured 5 square metres.
Immediately, scatter the AGGREGATE uniformly onto the wet coating and
'back roller to cover and encapsulate the AGGREGATE.
NOTE: although sufficient Aggregate is supplied to
allow a full scatter, a lighter scatter may be made as required.
4. Equipment Cleaning
It is impracticable to clean rollers after use.
Clean mixing equipment with Toolclean prior to curing of the coating.
5. Curing
Allow to cure for a minimum of 16 hours @ 20C prior to trafficking.
Curing at lower temperatures will extend this period, whereas curing
at higher temperatures will allow faster access.
6.Packaging
Gripfast is supplied in '5 Square Metre' packs.
7. Storage and Shelf Life
Store in dry conditions at temperatures between 10C and 25C.
Do not expose to freezing conditions.
Gripfast has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in the
original, unopened containers in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions.
8. Limitations
Do not apply to wet or uncured concrete.
Do not apply at temperatures of 3C or less.
Wear gloves and safety spectacles.
Wash off splashes immediately with soap and water.
