- Recoat
Eco-PT Topcoat may be used to coat over an existing epoxy in sound condition. Detergent scrub and rinse with clean water to remove surface dirt, grease, oil and contaminants. Floor must be sanded thoroughly with 80 grit paper/60 grit screen prior to recoating. We recommend thorough sanding with a swing-type buffer so that multiple scratch marks cause an obvious gloss loss on all areas (depressions will remain shiny), and the floor is uniformly dulled. The ability to see individual scratch marks is an indication that sanding is not adequate. Scrub with detergent and rinse with clean water before coating.

Colors: Use colorants at a rate of one unit per 3-gallon (11.34 liters) unit of Eco-PT Topcoat. Standard Colorants--White, Yellow and Light Gray will not impart total hide. Use these colorants at a rate of two units per 3-gallon (11.34 liters) mix. Similar colorants also may not hide as well. Refer to Color Selection Guide or consult Tennant Technical Support.

- Sanding Required
Eco-PT Topcoat must be thoroughly sanded if applying Eco-HPS 100 (see chart below). APPROXIMATE SAND TIME (hours) - °F (°C): 65 (18.3) 70 (21.1) 75 (23.9) 80 (26.7) 90 (32.2) 24 20 16 12 8 Eco-PT Topcoat must also be sanded if applying other Tennant urethanes after 24 hours. Use 80 grit sandpaper except for Eco-HPS 100, WearGuard™-240 Gloss and Tennant CRU–use 100 grit sandpaper. The use of more aggressive paper will introduce deep grooves that will not be covered by a single, thin coat of urethane; swirl marks will be particularly evident if the topcoat is glossy. We recommend thorough sanding with a swing-type buffer so that multiple scratch marks cause an obvious gloss loss on all areas (depressions will remain shiny), and the floor is uniformly dulled. The ability to see individual scratch marks is an indication that sanding is not adequate. Scrub with detergent and rinse with clean water before coating and tack rag to remove fine dust.
- Application Methods
- Roller
- Chemical Resistance
ASTM D1308 Test Method 3.1.1 spot test, covered. Results are based on 1-day and 7-day. Coating cured 2 weeks prior to testing. Legend: E - Excellent (No Adverse Effect) - Recommended. F - Fair (Moderate Adverse Effect) - Not recommended. G - Good (Limited Adverse Effect) - Use for short-term exposure only. P - Poor (Unsatisfactory) - Little or no resistance to chemical. *Only adverse effect was staining. Note: Reduced chemical resistance and staining is possible in pigmented versions of the system.
