- Mixing
Premix each component separately.; For color consistency, box all part A's. In a clean bucket, mix 2 parts A with 1 part B (by volume) of EC-11.; Mix thoroughly with a low speed (400-600 rpm) drill motor for 3-4 minutes.; Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the container during mixing.; After mixing is completed, remove material from container within 5 minutes, as epoxy will begin to generate heat.; Spread immediately onto the floor.; As product is spread out, you will have longer working time (10-15 minutes at 70°F).

- Clean Up
Uncured material should be removed with soap and warm water.; Cured material should be removed mechanically or with an environmentally-safe solvent.
- Coverage
Will vary depending on the mil thickness applied and the porosity and texture of the surface, but in general, EC-11 will cover approximately 300-600 square feet per gallon as a primer, coating or sealer.
- Dry Time
You may re-coat as soon as the surface is dry to the touch in 1 to 4 hours, but no later than 24 hours.; Light foot traffic may be permitted in 6 hours, normal traffic in 24 hours and vehicle traffic in 72 hours.; All times are based on average temperature of 70F degrees and 50% humidity.; Cooler temperatures will increase drying time.
- Moisture
All concrete should be tested for moisture before applying a seamless coating.. If moisture emissions exceed 5 lbs/1000 square feet/24 hours (ASTM F1869) or if the relative humidity (RH) exceeds 75% (ASTM F2170), contact the manufacturer before application.
- Pot Life
- 60 - 90 minutes (Gel Time, 150gm, 72°F)
- Thinning
- Thin with water, up to 50%
- Amount will vary depending on use.
- PACKAGING
- 1.5 gal & 15 gal kits available.
- Advantages
- USDA/FDA Compliant
- Water based
- Moisture Tolerant
- Chemical Resistant
- Long Pot Life
- Medium Gloss
- Very Durable
- Easy to Use
- Inspection
The surface must be structurally sound, clean, dry and free of grease, paint, oil, dust, curing agents, laitance or any foreign material that will prevent proper adhesion.; The concrete should be at least 2,500 PSI and porous or rough enough to allow the product to soak in.; A minimum of 28 days curing time is required on all concrete.; Prior to starting work, test existing concrete slab for efflorescence, moisture and hydrostatic pressure.
- Shelf LIfe
- 3 years in unopened packaging
