NON-TOXIC, MOISTURE TOLERANT, SOLVENT-FREE EPOXY RESIN COATING

Preparation
It is essential that adequate preparation is carried out prior to the application of SpECcoat CRE200.

For concrete and steel surfaces, grit blasting is recommended. Steel surfaces should be prepared to bright metal Standard. The preparation should ensure the removal of old coatings, laitance, curing compounds, grease and oil.

Any imperfections or ‘blow holes’ should be filled using SpECcoat BC.

Mixing
SpECcoat CRE200 is supplied in a two-component kit consisting of a base component and a curing agent.

The contents of the base component must be stirred thoroughly to disperse settlement. The total contents of the hardener component should be added to the base, 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.
Mixing paddles are available from Speciality Engineering Chemicals on request.

Application
The mixed material should be applied by suitable brush.

The first coat should be applied to the substrate using a scrubbing action to ensure a uniform build of not less than 200µm. The first coat should be allowed to dry for at least 8 hours at 20°C or 4 hours at 35°C. The maximum quoted overcoat times should also be complied with (see above). The second coat must be applied exactly as above resulting in a film thickness of at least 200µm.
