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).

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.

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.
