Method of Application

All Chemsol Products are recommended to be applied only by Approved Applicators and should be used after using proper PPEs like Gloves, masks, goggle,s etc.

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. Prior to application, large blisters and surface breaks shall be slit and opened for the release of entrapped moisture, then cemented properly wherever necessary.

Application conditions

Substrate temperature: 10-40 °C

Substrate moisture content: - <5%

Relative humidity: 8o%max

Application of floorchem UV 1K

Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning,
Scarifying or grinding equipment to remove cement laitance and achieve an open
textured surface. Remove weak concrete and expose surface defects such as blowholes and voids. Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids, and surface levelling must be carried out using appropriate products. Ensure that the dust, loose and friable material is completely removed from all surfaces by brush and vacuum before application of the product.
The concrete substrate has to be primed and levelled with Chembase 150/floorchem uv 1k in order to achieve an even surface and to seal the porosity. Followed with two coats of Floorchem uv 1k. It is extremely important to ensure that the previous coat is completely dry before application of the next coat, depending on the weather conditions. The coating should be applied evenly over the surface to ensure a regular film thickness. A final top coat is to be applied with Floorchem UV 1k. Curing time of approx. 72-120 hours (depending on weather conditions) are needed before allowing traffic or any further works.

Curing Schedule

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

Cleaning of Tools

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

Packing

Floorchem UV 1k Resin is available in a pre-weighed kit, which is 7-8 sq.mts./kg/coat.

Handling and 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.
