Usage

EC-32 epoxy is used to create industrial seamless floors in manufacturing plants, mechanical rooms, warehouses, commercial kitchens and residential garages.; In combination with color chips or quartz sand, it can be used to create a decorative floor coating.; Westcoat EC-32 Epoxy (with aggregate) can also be used as a mortar for overlays or repairs for concrete.; EC-32 Clear is an excellent high build concrete sealer for interior use over many other types of coatings, such as Texture Crete® or Acid Stained floors.; EC-32 can be applied directly to the concrete without a special primer.

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-32.; 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).

Building & Construction

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 primer

300-500 square feet per gallon.

As a coating

100-300 square feet per gallon.

As a sealer

300-500 square feet per gallon.

As a mortar

30-60 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

32 minutes (Gel Time, 150gm, 72°F)

Thinning

EC-32 can be thinned with up to 100% (equal parts) CA-23 or acetone, by volume.

If thinned, it must be applied thinly enough to allow solvent to escape (minimum 300 square feet per gallon).

As a primer

EC-32 may be thinned with up to 100% CA-23 or acetone.

As a coating

EC-32 may be thinned with 10-20% CA-23 or acetone.

As a mortar

thinning is not recommended.

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.
