- 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-38.; 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).
- Markets
- Building & Construction
- Consumer Goods
- Clean Up
Uncured material should be removed with an environmentally-safe solvent.; Cured material should be removed mechanically.
- Coverage
Coverage will vary depending on condition of surface and desired thickness.; As a coating: approximately 50 square feet per gallon.
- Dry Time
You may re-coat as soon as the surface is dry to touch or in about 4-8 hours (but not later than 24 hours).; Light foot traffic may be permitted in 8-10 hours, light vehicle traffic in 48 hours, heavy traffic in 3 days.; All times are based on average temperature of 70 degrees F 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
- 45 minutes (Gel Time, 150gm, 72°F)
- Thinning
- Thinning of EC-38 is not recommended.
- PACKAGING
- 1.5 gal & 15 gal kits available.
- Advantages
- USDA/FDA Compliant
- 100% Solids
- Durable
- Chemical Resistant
- Convenient 2:1 Mix
- Seamless
- Variety of Colors
- Low Odor
- 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
- 2 years in unopened packaging
- Limitations
This product is designed for professional use only.; Be sure to measure and mix properly. Be aware of the pot life of mixed epoxy.; Do not apply when temperatures are below 50°F or above 90°F.; Hot or cold weather will affect dry times.; Epoxy must be cured for a minimum of 24 hours before coming in contact with water.; Skid-resistant additives are available, such as CA-30 or CA-31.; For interior use only unless protected by a UV-resistant coating.; Solvents may be required in cooler weather to lower viscosity and increase coverage of 100% solids.; Please check with local laws governing the use of solvents.; Do not allow Westcoat products to freeze.
