- Mixing
Mixing: (SEE LAST PAGE FOR STEP-BY-STEP ILLUSTRATION) Mixing ratio by volume: ~5:3 (powder to liquid) • Pigmenting: Add and mix liquid pigments with liquid Component-B prior to mixing Component-A with Component-B. • Pour 2/3 liquid Component-B into a clean container, add 2K/M powder (Comp-A) and mix to a lump free creamy consistency. Add remaining 1/3 liquid and mix total 2 - 3 minutes with a strong, slow speed (300 rpm) mechanical mixer. NOTE: In hot weather conditions water can be added after initial mixing to adjust application consistency as follows: max. 10 fl.oz. (0.3 L) per 46 lb (21 kg) unit max. 16 fl. oz. (0.5 L) per 77lb (35 kg) unit
- Safety
Refer to SDS. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. A-Component (powder) contains sand (crystalline silica) and Portland cement and is highly alkaline (irritant) in contact with water. Prevent inhalation of dust before and during mixing with liquid Component-B. B-Component (liquid) contains no hazardous materials. Use rubber gloves and goggles during mixing and application. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. After contact with skin, wash with plenty of water. In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. In case of handling large quantities, provide good ventilation if indoors.
