Solid EP-H 0229

A two-component solvent-free epoxy paint.

For new and old concrete floors and for surfaces previously treated with epoxy paints. For professional use only.

Suitable for concrete floors in garages, laundry rooms, public spaces and other spaces where surfaces are subjected to hard wear.

Coverage on concrete floors is on the average: primer 4–6 m²/l and topcoat 6–8 m²/l. Practical coverage depends on the porosity and evenness of the substrate and on the application method.

Solventfree

The relative humidity of the concrete should not exceed 97%. The temperature of the ambient air, surface or coating should not fall below +15ºC during application or drying. Relative humidity of air should not exceed 80%.

New concrete floor: Remove the laitance layer from the concrete surface by, for example, surface sanding or hydrochloric acid pickling. Remove laitance dust carefully after sanding. Hydrochloric acid pickling is performed with a diluted solution (1 part concentrated hydrochloric acid, 4 parts water). Rinse the floor with plenty of water. The substrate has to be dry, firm and solid before surface treatment. Old concrfete floor: Clean the floor and remove any grease, oil, chemicals and other impurities with Tikkurila Maalipesu cleaning agent, by sanding or blast-cleaning. Remove old peeling paint film by sanding. Open cracks, holes and hollows until sound concrete with e.g. an edge grinder. Remove loose material and dust. Fill hollows, opened cracks and holes with, for example, a cement-based filler or an epoxy filler. If cementitious screed is used, check compatibility with the levelling screed manufacturer. Sand the filled areas to the same level as the surrounding surface before painting.

The painted surface will reach its final wear and chemical resistance approx. 1 week after the surface treatment. Avoid cleaning during this time. Clean the surface with a brush, mop or dust cloth. Dirty surfaces can be cleaned with a cleaning tool and a neutral (pH 6–8) washing solution.
