Compatible Substrates & Surfaces: Concrete, Metal, Wood
Mixing: Mix only the material that can be applied within the working time limits at the actual field temperature.; Mix the pigmented portion (Part "B") of the Tread-Shield Topcoat with a drill and jiffy mixer for 1 minute prior to adding the activator, Part "A".; Add Part "A" to Part "B" and mix for 3 minutes with the drill and jiffy mixer.; The mix ratio of Tread-Shield Topcoat is 1.5:1 by volume.; While mixing, be careful to mix from the bottom and side for complete mixing.
Markets: Printing & Packaging
Clean Up: Any mixing or application equipment should be cleaned immediately after use.; Garland S-1221 Solvent is recommended for clean-up.
Appearance: Clear Liquid (Activator), Clear Liquid (Resin Portion)
Shelf LIfe: 1 year (Unopened)
Application: The Tread-Shield Topcoat epoxy should be applied at 5 - 6 wet mils.; The first coat of Tread-Shield Topcoat should be applied with a flat squeegee and the second coat with a notched squeegee.; Smaller areas may be coated using 18" (457.2 mm) roller covers and roller pans.; The notched squeegee should be approximately 36" (914.4 mm) long with 1/32" to 1/16" (.79 mm to 1.59 mm) notches at 1/4" to 1/2" (6.35 mm to 12.7 mm) intervals.; This type of squeegee will apply sufficient material to achieve 5 wet mils when backrolled.; Backrolling is typically done with 18" (5457.2 mm) short nap solvent-resistant roller covers.; Over-rolling may cause bubbling or color separation.
Precaution: Use with adequate ventilation; Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing, wear gloves or protective creams - if skin contact occurs, wash at the first opportunity with soap and water; Eye exposure or inhalation can result in serious medical problems - in the event of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with water and contact a physician; Keep out of the reach of children; For industrial use only
Technology: Ready-to-Use Products
Floor Cleaning: Some cleaners may affect the color of the floor installed.. Test each cleaner in a small area, utilizing your cleaning technique beore cleaning the entire surface.
Labeling Claims: Environmentally Friendly
Packaging (Kit): 2 gallon
10 gallon
Expansion Joints: All expansion joints should be cured prior to applying Tread-Shield Topcoat.. Attempting to coat a wet joint compound will cause fish-eyeing in the urethane, requiring sanding and a second coat.
