- Limitations
Colors: Multiple coats may be needed to achieve complete hide in lighter systems. UV/Light Stability: This product is not light stable and will yellow/amber over time. Contamination (Fisheyes): Products may fisheye if oil, silicones, mold release agents or other contaminants are present
- Preparation
Ensure concrete is free of dirt, grease, oil or another contaminant. Certain types of contaminant may interfere with coating adhesion and cause fisheyes or defect in the coating. Scrub with detergent, rinse with clean water, and allow to fully dry. Concrete Preparation Options for Thin to Medium Film Applications (25 mils (0.63 mm) maximum) Diamond Grind: (results of diamond grinding may vary depending on technique and the hardness of the concrete. Additional mils may be required). Sweep to remove large debris and vacuum to remove fine dust. Light Blast: Use magnetic broom to remove excess shot, sweep to remove large debris and vacuum to remove fine dust. Concrete Preparation options for Thick-Film Applications Steel Shot Blast: Use magnetic broom to remove excess shot, sweep to remove large debris and vacuum to remove fine dust. Scarify: Sweep to remove large debris and vacuum to remove fine dust. Filling Joints: Depending on the preference of the facility owner, joints may or may not be filled. If the joints are filled, non-moving joints, i.e. contraction or control joints, can be hard filled with thickened epoxy or with a semi-rigid joint filler such as Eco-PJF™ or Eco-EJF™. Construction joints less than one inch wide may also be filled with Eco-PJF. Isolation or expansion joints must be filled with a flexible material designed for this purpose. Coating applied over filled joints may crack if there is concrete movement.
