Preparation
It is essential that adequate preparation is carried out prior to the application of SpECcoat BC. All steel substrates should be sound and free from loose or flaking material. Grit blasting is required to produce a surface exhibiting bright metal finish and should be free of all contaminants.
Concrete surfaces must be fully cured and free from laitance, mould oil and curing compounds.

Mixing
SpECcoat BC is supplied in a two-component kit consisting of a base component and a curing agent.
The contents of the base can must be stirred thoroughly. The total contents of the hardener can should be added to the base container taking care to scrape the sides of the can. Mechanical mixing must be used incorporating a suitable mixing paddle attached to a heavy duty, slow speed drill.

The mixed material may be applied by a variety of tools such as trowels, scrapers, filling knives and squeegee.

SpECcoat BC is supplied in 3 and 5 kg packs.
Theoretical coverage
1.75kg/m² at 1mm thickness

N.B. Due to wastage factors and the varied nature of substrates, actual coverage rates may be significantly reduced.
