SURFACE PREPARATION
ABAFLOOR-31 must be applied over approved primers of ABAPRIME-11 or ABAPRIME-12 or
intermediates of ABAFLOOR-21 or ABAFLOOR-22. ABAFLOOR-31 should be applied within the overcoating intervals specified.
Concrete Surfaces: Concrete should be cured for a minimum of 28 days prior to coating. The moisture content of the concrete should be below 4%.
All surfaces should be clean and dry.
Surface preparation shall not take place in following conditions:
- At temperature below 5 ºC.
- When the relative humidity is greater than 80%.
- When the surface temperature is less than 3 ºC above dew the point.
- Outside day light hours on exterior locations.
Application Method
Material is supplied in two containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit in the proportion supplied.
Once the unit has been mixed it must be used within the working Pot life specified.
- Agitate part A with a power agitator.
- Combine the entire contents of part B with Part A and mix thoroughly with power agitator.
Mix thoroughly for at least three minutes, scraping the container bottom and side to assure complete mixing.
There is no induction or waiting time required after mixing before application.
The exothermic nature of epoxy setting reactions may cause rapid temperature rise when the
mixture is left massed in a bucket, resulting in high temperatures and loss of utility of the product.
Like all high performance coating, this product must be applied as recommended to obtain the maximum protection for which this coating is formulated.
Pour ABAFLOOR-31 on the floor and spread using a flat trowel. After 10 minutes, roll the surface with a pin roller to remove air bubbles.
Apply a minimum of 0.5-1 mm ABAFLOOR-31 normally provides a smooth, high gloss finish after application.
In hot climate, material temperature should be 20 to 25 ºC prior to mixing; otherwise pot life becomes very short.
- Do not thin for any reason.
- Do not apply the paint when wind speed is in excess of 7 m/s.
- Do not apply the paint when surface temperature is below 10ºC.
