ABAFLOOR-21 (ECO)

DOSAGE

The amount of consumption depends on the porosity and unevenness of the substrate surface. To apply this layer, approximately 2.0 kilograms of material per square meter per millimeter of thickness is required. This amount is calculated without considering the addition of extra silica. The final layer thickness can be selected between 1 and 4 millimeters, depending on the desired mechanical properties.

SURFACE PREPARATION

ABAFLOOR-21 (ECO) must be applied over the approved primer of ABAPRIME or ABAPENODUR. The primer surface should be dry and free from all contamination. ABAFLOOR-21 (ECO) should be applied within the overcoating intervals specified.

In order to achieve a smooth and suitable surface, all cracks in the concrete shall be filled by ABADUR MP before applying ABAFLOOR-21 (ECO).

Concrete Surfaces: Concrete should be cured for a minimum of 28 days prior to coating. The moisture content of the concrete should be below 4%. All surfaces should be clean and dry.

SURFACE PREPARATION SHALL NOT TAKE PLACE IN THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

• At temperatures below 15 ºC
• When the relative humidity is greater than 80%
• When the surface temperature is less than 3 ºC above the dew point

APPLICATION METHOD

Material is supplied in two containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit in the proportion supplied. Once the unit has been mixed, it must be used within the working pot life specified.

1- Agitate Part A and B separately with a power agitator.

2-Combine the entire contents of Part B with Part A and mix thoroughly with a power agitator. Mix thoroughly for at least three minutes, scraping the container bottom and side to assure complete mixing. There is no induction or waiting time required after mixing before application.

The exothermic nature of epoxy setting reactions may cause rapid temperature rise when the mixture is left massed in a bucket, resulting in high temperatures and loss of utility of the product.

Like all high-performance coatings, this product must be applied as recommended to obtain the maximum protection for which this coating is formulated.

Pour ABAFLOOR-21 (ECO) on the floor and spread using a notched trowel. Within 10 minutes, roll the surface with a pin roller to remove air bubbles. Applying a minimum thickness of 1-2.5 mm ABAFLOOR-21 (ECO) normally provides a smooth surface with very good mechanical characteristics.

In a hot climate, material temperature should be 20 to 25 ºC prior to mixing; otherwise, pot life becomes very short.

• Do not thin for any reason.
• Do not apply the flooring material when wind speed is in excess of 7 m/s.
• Do not apply the flooring material when the ambient temperature is below 20 ºC or more than 40 ºC.
• Do not apply the flooring material when the surface temperature is below 10 ºC.

PACKAGING

25.6 kg ready to mix units, in 2 parts (Part A: 24 kg bucket; Part B: 1.6 kg bucket)

STORAGE & SHELF LIFE

The shelf life is 6 months in the original packaging if unopened, stored free from frost, moisture and direct sunlight.

The best recommended storage temperature is +15 to +30 °C.

Note: In cold seasons, to stabilize the physical condition of the material, it should be stored in an environment with a temperature of 30 °C for 24 hours before consumption.

HEALTH & SAFETY

This product is Flammable. Keep away from heat and open flame. Keep the container closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with skin. If used in confined areas, observe the following precautions to prevent hazards of fire, explosion, or damage to health:

1-Circulate adequate fresh air continuously during application and drying.

2-Use fresh air masks and explosion-proof equipment.

3- Prohibit all flames, sparks, welding, and smoking.
