SURFACE PREPARATION:
For best results, areas to receive the FX-70 Hydro-Ester® Floor Coating should be free of dirt, grease and heavy laitance, which will affect the bond. Shot blasting, sand blasting, water blasting or wire brushing are recommended for surface preparation. When used on steel, prime first with FX-408 Zinc Rich Primer.
MIXING:
Combine two (2) parts of Component "A" and one (1) part Component "B", by volume, in the quantity desired and mix FX-70 Hydro-Ester® Floor Coating with a low speed drill and FX-Mixing Paddle for three (3) to five (5) minutes. Avoid entrapping air while mixing. Apply immediately after mixing.
APPLICATION:
Apply by brush, roller, or spray. For best results when spraying, strain material through a 60 mesh screen prior to spraying. Minimum recoat time with self is 6 hours, maximum recoat is 7 days.
COVERAGE:
FX-70 Hydro-Ester® Floor Coating will given an approximate coverage of 200 sq. ft./gallon at a thickness of eight (8) mils, when applied to a smooth surface; two (2) coats are recommended. Coverage will decrease when applied to a rough surface. Tack-free time is subject to ambient and surface temperatures.
SHELF LIFE:
2 years
