APPLICATION NOTES
ArmorPoxy’s ArmorTallic Epoxy Coating Kit should be applied between 50-90°F
and when relative humidity is 80% or less. If cooler, add portable electric (not
kerosene) heaters to the area to keep air temperatures higher. Material should
be stored in a dry area at temperatures between 50-90°F. Do not store in
warm/hot areas prior to use, as cooler material has a longer working time.
Material must be above 60°F for installation. Install in areas with proper
ventilation. Wear safety glasses, protective clothing and rubber gloves for the
duration of preparation and application of coatings.
Floors with high moisture levels (damp) must be either pre-treated or covered
with special coatings. To test for moisture, use our convenient Moisture Test Kit
(visit website for more information) or tape down a sheet of 4’ x 4’ clear plastic
sheeting on all four sides with duct tape. Wait 24 hours. If moisture builds up
under the plastic, or if the floor is noticeably darker/damp, the next step would
be to use a Moisture Test Kit to determine the actual level of moisture coming
up through the floor. Moisture levels in excess of 3.5 lbs/1000 sq ft/24 hours are
excessive and may need additional moisture treatment prior to application. If
your floor has a high moisture level, please contact ArmorPoxy for assistance.
Tire staining is possible due to the plasticizers in tires. While this is rare for
the floor to get tire stains, it can happen.
ArmorTallic epoxy kits are meant to be applied to bare concrete only.
Coverage can vary depending on floor condition. If your floor has pitting and
irregularities you will not get as much coverage. DO NOT USE PRIMERS THAT
HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED FOR USE with this floor coating kit. Please
note that some concrete may exhibit inconsistent absorption rates that could
cause an uneven appearance or dullness. This problem is due to variations in
the concrete when poured or uneven curing, and is not a product or warranty
failure. These floors also would require primers.
If your floor has an uneven appearance, or water soaks in inconsistently, then it
may need to be primed. Remember, any coating can only stick to what is under
it, so if you do not remove an existing coating and it peels, so will the new
coating. As noted above if you remove a prior coating we recommend the use
of the optional primer.
