SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces should be free from grease, oil chemical, dust, laitance, loose concrete and should have minimum amounts of moisture. Appropriate surface preparation equipment such as shot blast, Scarified or grinder must be used to obtain a sound surface. Substrates which show any traces of oil must be degreased with a chemical degreaser prior to any surface preparation or grit blasting. Cracks, pinholes, potholes should be repaired using Ressi EPO Crack Fill or any other appropriate crack filler recommended by Ressichem. Uneven concrete should be levelled to produce flat surfaces. New concrete floors should be atleast 28 Days old prior to application and must not have moisture exceeding 5% using a standard moisture meter. Expansion, control and isolation joints should be carried through floors filled with a suitable sealant.
PRIMING
Prepared surfaces should be primed using Ressi EPO Primer or any other suitable Primer recommended by Ressichem. The primer should be brushed into the substrate using a stiff brush or roller and allowed to become tacky (10 - 20 mins before the application of Ressi EPO Floor Plus Econo. The primer should be allowed to dry. If the primer has dried, additional coat of primer should be applied and allowed to become tacky.
MIXING
Stir the base and hardener component separately first. Add the Filler component into the base / Hardener material and stir it until the complete material is homogenous. A high-speed drill machine with high RPM levels can be used to homogenize both Part A (base / Resin) and Part C (Filler Material). Once Parts A and C are homogenized, part B should be added into the mix and homogenized accordingly. All Materials should be mixed for at least 3 to 7 minutes a low rpm (400 – 600 rpm) Speed until a uniform homogenized mix is achieved.
APPLICATION
Lay Ressi EPO Floor Plus Econo over the prepared surface whilst the primer is still tacky. Spread out with a notched trowel to a uniform thickness between 1500 microns to 4000 microns. level the material using appropriate trowels and tools to the desired level. Stroke with a steel trowel to achieve a sealed resin rich surface. A spiked roller can also be used to achieve a uniform surface.
LIMITATIONS
At higher temperatures pot life will be reduced. For working on high temperatures below 10°C, Ressi EPO Floor Plus Econo may be placed over a hot water bath.
