Mixing
Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be free of oil, grease, dirt, and other contaminants.
Existing Coatings: A test area should be completed before topcoating.
Concrete: Pressure wash (2-3000 psi) with clean, fresh, water in conjunction with biodegradable cleanser if necessary to remove all contaminants. Surface shall be dry and free of all oils, wax, or any loose sealers or coatings.
Surface temperature should be between 15.5-17.7oC (60-100oF). Do not apply product unless temperature is at least 5o above the dewpoint. Recoat schedule is 8-48 hours, depending on environment.
Application
Check area of application to ensure that it conforms to the substrate requirements as stated in the general guideline section. Prime interior and exterior floors and slabs.
Apply ArmorFloor pigmented to the substrate at a rate of ½ gallon per 100 square feet (1.9 liters per square meter). Additional coats may be necessary to achieve desired results.
ArmorFloor is a high-performance coating and may become slippery when wet.
Airless Sprayer: Use a Graco 28:1 pump or higher, Binks “Airless” spray gun with Reverse-Clean 0.017-0019 spray tips and 3/8” solvent resistant fluid line. Adjust pump pressure to the lowest possible setting that provides proper atomization. Equipment of equal performance is acceptable.
Conventional Spray: Variation of conventional production spray equipment such as pressure pot, air assisted airless or high volume, low pressure systems as supplied by Binks, Graco, Nordson, Devilbiss, or equal may be used.
Brush: Use solvent resistant phenolic core, short nap sheepskin, or equal natural roller covers.
Equipment Clean-Up
Storage
Limitations
Do not mix more material than can be used in 60 minutes.
The uncured materials used in ArmorFloor are very sensitive to heat and moisture. Higher temperature and/or high humidity will accelerate the cure time. Use caution in batch sizes and thickness of application. Low temperature and/or low humidity extend the cure time and the use of accelerators may be necessary.
Material remaining after application must be tightly sealed to protect it against curing in its container.
Warning
This product contains isocyanates and solvent.
