Ressi EPO Anti-Static
Ressi EPO Anti-Static is a 2-part electrostatic conductive colored epoxy flooring system with high chemical resistance properties. It cures to a semi-gloss, impervious finish. The applied thickness of Ressi EPO Anti-Static is between 300 to 4000 Microns. Ressi EPO Anti-Static provides a hard tough easily cleanable and attractive floor coating in areas where high resistance to chemical attack and an anti-static flooring solution is required. It is suitable for use in workshops, car parks, dairies, kitchens, hospitals, laboratories, showrooms, light to medium-duty industrial floor coatings, etc.

ADVANTAGES
- High level of protection and durability.
- Hygienic impervious finish provides easily maintained surface.
- Excellent bond strength to concrete and cementitious flfloors
- High resistance to a wide range of industrial chemicals.
- Can be applied by brush roller or spray.
- Electrostatic conductive wearing layer for areas subject to chemical and
- mechanical exposure in production and storage facilities.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry, sound, free of mold release agents, bond breaking coatings, curing compounds, or any other form of contamination that may affect the adhesion of the epoxy flooring to the substrate. Surface preparation must be done using appropriate methods like grinding or wire brushing and vacuumed. All loose concrete should be removed until a sound substrate is reached. Ressi EPO Anti-Static can be used to repair the floor cracks and some uneven surfaces prior to the application of Ressi EPO Anti-Static New Cementitious surfaces should be at least 28 days old and have a moisture content less than 5% prior to application.
PRIMING
Priming is optional. If the surface is highly porous and rough textured, priming is recommended. Ressi EPO Primer is the Recommended primer to be used in conjunction with Ressi EPO Anti-Static The primer should be brushed into the substrate using a stiff brush or roller and allowed to dry before the application of Ressi EPO Anti-Static. In case of extremely porous substrates, two coats of primer are recommended. Allow the first coat of Ressi EPO Primer to dry before the application of the second coat.
MIXING
Ressi EPO Anti-Static is supplied in premeasured quantities. Base and hardener should be stirred separately before mixing. Both the components should be mixed using a slow speed drill machine fitted with a paddle mixer for 2 minutes to get a uniform liquid mix. Scrape the sides, edges and bottom of the mixing container using a spatula and continue mixing for a further 2 minutes.
APPLICATION
Apply the first coat of Ressi EPO Anti-Static on the prepared surface using a brush, roller, or spray. Allow for a minimum 4 hours drying time. Treat pinholes, surface irregularities with Ressi EPO Crack Fill or Ressi EPO Primer (Whichever is the suitable product for the job site) and allow it to dry before the application of subsequent coat.
