USAGE
As a hygienic, easily cleaned finish for concrete, steel, ironwork providing a hard wearing attractive surface. For preservation of steel structures, industrial floors, cellars, bund areas, laundry, sheet pilings, locks and channels, docks, harbours, oil rigs, oil tanks, ships hulls and bilges, bridges, conduits, caverns, industrial plants for wet or oily surfaces, railway and subway tunnels, underpasses, swimming pools, fish farms. An unlimited potential for a wide range of needs.
- a coating low in friction, reducing hydraulic losses - a protective coating resistant to light acids, oils sewage, technical wear and chemical attack - a coating that can be applied on dry, wet, or even on under water surfaces - a high build (200 - 400 morons) per coat

APPLICATION
Brush: Apply two coats at 300 - 500 g/m2 on concrete depending upon surface. Aquacoat must be brushed into the surface with circular motion with a hard hair brush or scrub brush.
Spraying: Use airless spray gun type recommended: Pneumatic airless gun Wagner 66:70 or 66:265.
The accuracy of the surface preparation prior to the actual coating is essential. Please adhere to the following instructions carefully and when in doubt, please contact our Technical Department for additional information.
SURFACE PREPARATION
The surface must be free of dirt and loose particles which must be removed by abrasive blasting or other mechanical means. Before coating with Aquacoat 28.15, holes in concrete may be filled with Thixotropic 28.96. Remove rust by abrasive blasting or with tungsten carbide scraper, or other mechanical means.
On smooth surfaces, plastics, steel or non-ferrous metals, grinding with a grinding tool is recommended. A rough surface provides a better adhesion than a smooth one. For cleaning surfaces of any kind, concrete floors, road ways, ship decks, we recommend to use a roughening machine to remove rust, scale, old flaking paints and coatings, caked oil and grease and to roughen slick concrete surfaces to prevent slippage and for better adhesion of new flooring materials.
Unknown surfaces must be checked by a test coat. After Aquacoat 28.15 has been cured for 10 days, the adhesion can be easily checked by means of grid cut or mechanical stress.
APPLICATION ON CONCRETE
After the surface has been prepared and levelled, apply the well mixed Aquacoat 28.15 with circular motions evenly and thoroughly with a brush. The product may also be sprayed with an airless spray gun. In order to obtain a non-skid surface, a dusting of fine quarts can be applied to the surface or a mixture of quartz and sand can be added to the mixture of the second coat.
Where oily surfaces are not present Concrete Epoxy Resin Primer may be used as a primer at temperatures below +12°C/+54°C.
The second coat must be applied with the first coat is tack dry.
PRECAUTIONS
Always use up the entire can. Product cannot be reused after pot life expires.
Always empty the entire amount of hardener into the epoxy, because the proper mixing ratio must be maintained. Containers are pre-measured and most of the epoxy containers are oversized to allow adding and mixing of the hardener.
Never dilute Aquacoat 28. 15 with thinners
Mix thoroughly by hand or with a mechanical mixer. Make sure that the material is mixed well around the walls and the bottom of the can, before mixing with hardener.
IMPORTANT Aquacoat 28.15 must be brushed into the surface with circular motions, using pressure on moist, wet, submerged, or oily surfaces. The second coat must be applied as soon as the first coat is touch dry - not later.
