Instructions For Use
Preparation
All contact surfaces must be sound, clean, dry and provide a good mechanical key. For steel surfaces rust, millscale or any other impurities should be removed bringing the surface to a bright metal condition. For concrete surfaces remove all loose material, paint, plaster and oily deposits. For best results light grit blasting is recommended.
Priming
No special priming is required.
Mixing
The Parex High Build Protective Coating base resin component is supplied in a container which is large enough to receive the hardener component and act as the mixing vessel. Pour the entire hardener component into the base container and mix using a slow speed high torque drill with a Mortar Stirrer. Mixing should be continued for two minutes to achieve a uniform consistency and colour.
Coating
Apply the High Build Protective Coating as a single thick coat using a stiff bristle brush. Do not attempt to brush out the applied material. The applied thickness of 300 microns may be monitored using a simple thickness gauge to check the application during the work.
All tools and equipment should be cleaned with Solvent. Hardened High Build Protective Coating may only be removed mechanically.
Parex High Build Protective Coating may be applied at temperatures between 10°C and 35°C. For applications outside this range contact the Technical Service Department.
