PRODUCT APPLICATION
(cont.)
MIXING
Premix both components (Parts A
and B) thoroughly to ensure
any settled pigment is re-dispersed. Pour the entire contents
of Part B Base into a clean 5-gallon
pail.
Then pour the
entire
contents of Part A
activator into the pail. It is critical to add
all of Part A to Part B and mix for 2-5 minutes. Power
mixing is
preferred. Do not mix the color chips in with the coating.
Allo
w
the coating to stand for 30 minutes before using
a
t
temperatures of 55-70°F (13-21°C) or 20 minutes
if
the
temperatures are between 71-80°F (22-27°C). Mix again
just
prior to application. The activated coating must be used
within
2 hours after mixing based on tempera
ture.
APPLICATION
All pilot lights or open flames in the area must be extinguished
due to the flammability of the solvents in the coating. Pilot
lights or open flames must remain extinguished for a
minimum
of 24 hours following application of the
EPO
XYShield
®
Professional Floor Coating. Apply only when air, material,
and
surface temperatures are between 55-90°F (13-32°C) and
the surface temperature is at least 5°F (3°C) above the
dew
point.
The relative humidity should not be greater than
85%.
Pour a portion of the admixed material into a lined paint pan.
Immediately begin to cut in the perimeter of the floor along the
wall, or other areas where a roller cannot reach, using a brush
or edger before beginning roller application. Use a
synthetic
3/8" nap roller cover on a
9"
roller frame to apply an even
coa
t
of
EPO
XYShield
®
Professional Floor Coating
onto the surface.
Limit the application to 4x4 foot (1.2x1.2m) sections at a
time
to make
it
easier to distribute the colored chips onto the freshly
coated surface. Scatter the decorative chips up and
a
way
from you so they land flat on the wet paint
film.
Then continue
on to the next section. Note: Fresh paint can be applied over
the loose chips that lay outside the previously painted area.
Maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks and gloss varia
tions.
Make all final passes in the same direction to ensure
uniform
appearance. Use bright lighting to ensure proper covera
ge.
If using the anti-slip additive, continue to stir the admixed
material periodically to ensure additive does not settle in the
pan. Only one coat is necessary
under most circumstances.
EPO
XYShield
®
Professional Floor Coating must be used
within
2 to 5 hours following initial mixing depending on tempera
ture
and size of the
mixture.
CLEAN-UP
When finished, wash tools and equipment with xylene. Clean
up drips or spatters IMMEDIATELY with xylene as dried paint
is
very difficult to remove. Properly dispose of all soiled rags.
