Method of Application

All Chemsol Products are recommended to be applied only by Approved Applicators and should be used after using proper PPE’s like Gloves, mask, goggles etc.

Application conditions

*Note: The substrate temperature must be at least 3 °( above the prevalent dew point temperature to reduce chances of condensation on the floor.

Substrate Quality

The CDS (clean, dry, sound) test must be conducted before the application of primer to the concrete substrate. The substrate must be free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings, and surface treatments etc. If in doubt, apply a test area first.

Substrate Preparation

*Ensure that the primer coat is thoroughly cured and is dust-free. **In case of broadcasting system remove the loose sand by brush and vacuum. Now the floor is ready to take the top coat of Chemdeck 300.

Stir the resin part mechanically for 1 minute in order to disperse the pigments into the resin uniformly. Add hardener to this mixture and stir continuously for 1 minute until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Add aggregates to this mixture and continue stirring for a further 2 minutes with a motorised helical paint stirrer until a uniform mix has been obtained. Overmixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment.

*Note that the mixture has a stipulated pot life; hence, the application should immediately commence after mixing the contents. Pour the material on the floor and spread it with a squeegee, and roll with a short pile roller to obtain the desired finish.

*Refer to surface preparation guidelines for application of primer Chembase 150/Chemprime. ** For sand broadcasting guidelines, refer method of statement of Chemcast 300

Curing Schedule

The epoxy curing reaction rate is temperature dependent. Refer to the following table to know how quickly the floor can be brought to service

Temp. (°C)	Foot traffic	Full cure
10°C	48 hours	120 hours
20°C	36 hours	96 hours
30°C	25 hours	72 hours

Cleaning of Tools

Clean all tools and application equipment with thinner EP140 immediately after use. Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed mechanically.

Packing

Chemdeck 300 is available in a preweighed kit to cover an area of 10-12 sqm

Handling & Safety

Keep the containers tightly sealed when not in use. Avoid skin contact and inhalation of fumes (if any). While spraying, it is advised to wear a mask. If it comes in contact with the body, wash affected parts with plenty of soap and water. In case of persistent irritation, contact a physician.
