Selection & Specification Data
Generic Type                                 Cycloaliphatic Amine Epoxy Acrylate. Highly flexible and

Description                                 non-skid epoxy coating based on high quality epoxy acrylate

                                                          resin which combines between adhesion and durability of

                                                          epoxies with flexibility common to acrylics, designed to be   

                                                         used for steel and concrete floors as non-skid coating with

                                                         high flexibility to resist cracks and skid in case of high surface

                                                        expansion or shrinkage.

Substrate & Surface Preparation
General                             Surfaces must be clean and dry. Employ adequate methods to remove
                                          dirt, dust, oil and all other contaminants that could interfere with
                                          adhesion of the coating.

Steel                                Steel blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2½ and then primed with flexible epoxy
                                          primer or other suitable epoxy primer.

Galvanized Steel           Primed with suitable etching primer.
Concrete                        Concrete must be shoot blasted and repair cracks with a suitable                                                      sealant and then primed with a proper epoxy sealer.

Brush & Roller (Genaral)          Multiple coats may be required to obtain desired appearance,

                                                        recommended dry film thickness and adequate hiding. Avoid

                                                        excessive re-brushing or rerolling. For best results, tie-in   

                                                         within 10 minutes at 24°C.

Brush                                             Use a medium bristle brush.
Roller                                             Use a short-nap synthetic roller cover with phenolic core.

This product simply requires the substrate temperature to be above the dew point. Condensation due to substrate temperatures below the dew point can cause flash rusting on prepared steel and interfere with proper adhesion to the substrate. Special
application techniques may be required above or below normal application conditions

Higher film thickness, insufficient ventilation or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times. Excessive humidity or condensation on the surface during curing can interfere with the cure, can cause discoloration and may result in a surface haze. Any haze or blush must be removed by water washing before recoating. During high humidity conditions, it
is recommended that the application be done while temperatures are increasing. Maximum recoat/topcoat times are 30 days for epoxies and 90 days for polyurethanes at 75°F (24°C). If the maximum recoat times have been exceeded, the surface must be abraded by sweep blasƟng or sanding prior to the application of addiƟonal coats. 890 LT applied
below 50°F (10°C) may temporarily soŌen as temperatures rise to 60°F (16°C). This is a normal condition and will not affect performance.
