The components should be mixed in a suitably sized mixing vessel. The color pack should be added to the base container and mixed for 15-30 seconds, until homogeneous. Then add the hardener and mix for further 30 seconds, until an even colour and texture is obtained.
• Thereafter, the contents of the graded aggregate pack should be slowly added and mixing carried out for a further 3 minutes until a completely homogeneous material is obtained.

• The second coat may be applied as soon as the first coat has initially dried. The time will be dependant on the type of surface and ambient conditions but will be in the range of 24 hours at 30 DegreeC.

Precautions:

• Health & Safety instructions: Since some people are sensitive to epoxy resins, gloves, goggles and barrier creams should be used when handling these products. If contact with skin occurs, it must be removed, before it hardens, with resin removing creams followed by washing with soap and water. Solvent should not be used. The use of goggles is recommended but should accidental eye contamination occur, washing thoroughly with plenty of water and seeking immediate medical treatment is suggested.
• Fire: Nitoflor EPW100 coating is non-flammable.

Chemical resistance

Nitoflor EPU2000 epoxy polyurethane coating is resistant to a wide range of chemicals. Specific data is available on request.

Specification clauses

Self smoothing flow applied epoxy polyurethane coating applied on epoxy primed concrete surface within 18 hours at 35 DegreeC. When tested as per BS 6319, Nitoflor EPU2000 epoxy polyurethane coating shall possess a minimum compressive strength of 45N/ me, a flexural strength of 15N/me and a minimum tensile strength of 10N/me, and offer an minimum abrasion resistance of 0.1-0.15mg/cycle when tested as per ASTM D4060, with CS17 wheel of 1000gms weight. It must also have a hardness of 70-80, when tested for Shore D Hardness.

Application instructions

Self-smoothing is a term used in the flooring industry to describe a composition which after being spread to a uniform layer of appropriate thickness, develops a smooth, resin-rich surface without the need for skilful trowelling. This self-smoothing action is very localised and does not eradicate irregularities of level present in the original substrate. It is most important, therefore, that adequate surface preparation and repair is undertaken prior to application of Nitoflor SL flooring systems. Advice on specific applications may be obtained from Fosroc.

Storage

In unopened packs, Nitofl or EPU2000 epoxy polyurethane coating and Nitoprime 25 primer have a shelf life of 12 months when stored in warehouse conditions below 35 deg C.
