INSTALLATIOIN

The performance of any floor coating is highly reliant upon proper preparation of the substrate. Substrate must be free of all contamination such as latence, curing compounds, dirt, and oil. Concrete should be lightly shot blasted or acid etched and neutralized to a smooth, even finish similar in texture to 100 grit sand paper.

Step 1. A bond/color coat of PM200 epoxy coating is normally squeegeed and back rolled. While bond coat is still fluid, broadcast PolyMax Color Flakes into wet surface. Coverage can be partial, showing background color or full flake coverage.

Step 2. Apply a thin coat of PM100 clear epoxy by squeegee and back roll method to lock in color flakes. Allow to cure.

Step 3. Apply a finish coat of either PM100 clear epoxy or for Ultra Violet protection and better scuff resistance a coat of PM500 Chemical Resistant Urethane by squeegee and back roll method.

Additional coats of PM100/PM500 can be applied to further smooth surface. If a slip resistant finish is required, the appropriate aggregate can be pre-mixed with the A and B components or it may be broadcast on the surface once the coating has been applied.

PACKAGING

Liquid components are normally packaged in 5 gallon pails. Color Flakes are packaged in 55 lb. boxes. Larger or smaller packaging is available by special order with minimum quantity restrictions.
