Floors and walls of hygienic areas such as hospitals, operating theatres, laboratories and food production facilities

Application Steps

1
Surface Preparation
The surface should be cleaned using pressurised water where possible and completely freed from oil, grease, fuel, paraffin residues, release agents, cement residues, loose particles, dirt and all foreign matter that could adversely affect adhesion. To fill voids and repair surface defects, a repair mortar prepared by mixing FOX MORTAR FC188 T, FOX FASTMORTAR FC245, FOX FASTMORTAR FC233 or suitable quartz sand with FOX EPOTHANE® PRIMER series primer can be used.
2
Checking Application Conditions
Relative air humidity must be a maximum of 80%. Surface, ambient and material temperature must be between a minimum of +10°C and a maximum of +30°C. Ensure that the substrate temperature is above +10°C to guard against dew point and condensation.
3
Mixing
Ensure that product temperatures are between +20°C and +25°C. Component A must first be homogenised on its own using an electric mixer (300–400 rpm). After Component B has been fully added to Component A, the mixture must be stirred continuously for 3–4 minutes until a homogeneous blend is obtained. Avoid over-mixing to prevent air entrainment.
4
Priming
Surfaces to be coated must be primed beforehand with a suitable FOX EPOTHANE® series primer, or with a primer prepared by adding 5–10% water to FOX EPOTHANE® TOPCOAT WB. Ensure that the substrate temperature is a minimum of +10°C.
5
Topcoat Application
FOX EPOTHANE® TOPCOAT WB should be applied to the surface using a roller. Successive coats must be applied wet-on-wet. Application should proceed along the short edge, with each new pass starting immediately adjacent to the previous one. A second roller pass over the material should be made to ensure homogeneous distribution and to eliminate roller marks.
6
Tool Cleaning
After application, tools and equipment can be cleaned with water. Once FOX EPOTHANE® TOPCOAT WB has cured, it can only be removed from the surface by mechanical means.

Critical

During application, the surface, ambient and material temperature must be a minimum of +10°C and a maximum of +30°C.

Critical

After application is complete, the coating must be protected from direct water contact for at least 24 hours. In the event of water contact, softening and blistering will occur on the coating and all properties will be lost; in this case the coating must be completely removed and reapplied.

Critical

Concrete surfaces to be coated with epoxy/polyurethane must be at least 3 weeks old prior to application, and a vapour barrier layer must be created for slabs on grade.

Critical

Relative air humidity must be a maximum of 80%. Attention must be paid to dew point and condensation. The substrate temperature must be above +10°C.

Critical

Mixing must be carried out with an electric mixer at 300–400 rpm and an epoxy/polyurethane resin mixing paddle. Failure to use the specified mixing paddle will entrain air into the product, causing air bubbles to form on the coating after application.

Important

Before starting to mix, ensure that the product temperatures are between +20°C and +25°C.

Important

Materials to be used should be brought to the application site 1–2 days in advance and left to acclimatise to ambient conditions.

Important

In cold weather, the ambient and substrate temperature should be raised; products should be kept at +20°C – +25°C and brought to a ready-to-use condition.

Important

Rain, dust, wind, animals and insects must be prevented from entering the area while the coating is still fresh.

Important

The product must be stored in its original unopened packaging in a dry and cool environment (between +5°C and +30°C), protected from sunlight and frost. Shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacture. Opened packaging must be consumed within 1 week.

Important

Open flames near storage and application areas are dangerous; areas must be ventilated.

Important

During application, appropriate work clothing, protective gloves, goggles and a mask must be worn in accordance with occupational health regulations. Contact with skin and eyes must be avoided; in case of contact, wash thoroughly with plenty of water and soap; if swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.

Information

Storage pallets must not be stacked on top of one another. Shipments must be made on a first-in, first-out basis.

Information

Consumption figures are given for ideal conditions assuming an ambient and surface temperature of 20°C. Actual consumption may vary depending on surface texture and ambient temperature; it should be noted that consumption will increase on uneven surfaces and in cold weather conditions.
