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.

Application Equipment
Listed below are general equipment guidelines for the application of this product. Job site conditions may require
modifications to these guidelines to achieve the desired results. General Guidelines:
Conventional Spray Pressure pot equipped with dual regulators, 3/8” I.D. minimum material
hose, .070” I.D. fluid tip and appropriate air cap.
Airless Spray Pump Ratio: 30:1 (min.)
GPM Output: 3.0 (min.)
Material Hose: 3/8” I.D. (min.)
Tip Size: .017”-.021”
Output PSI: 2100-2300
Filter Size: 60 mesh
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.
Mixing & Thinning
Mixing Power mix separately, then combine and power mix.
DO NOT MIX PARTIAL KITS.
Ratio (by Weight) One part component (B) to be added to four parts of component (A) A:B 4:1
Thinning EPOFLEX is a solvent free coating and no thinning is required.

Application Conditions
Condition Material Surface Ambient Humidity
Normal 15º-35ºC 15º-35ºC 15º-35ºC 0-85 %
Minimum 10ºC 10ºC 10ºC 0 %
Maximum 37ºC 55ºC 45ºC 85 %
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
Curing Schedule
Surface Temperature % 50% R.H. Dry to Recoat Complete Cure
10ºC 36 hours 10 days
15ºC 24 hours 7 days
25ºC 16 hours 5 days
35ºC 8 hours 4 days
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 blasting or sanding prior to the application of additional coats. 890 LT applied
below 50°F (10°C) may temporarily souen as temperatures rise to 60°F (16°C). This is a normal condition and will not
affect performance.
