An epoxy coating is a coating compound consisting of two distinct elements: an epoxy resin and a polyamine hardener (also known as a catalyst). When mixed, the resin and hardener engage in a chemical reaction that creates cross-linking of the elements as it cures. When the epoxy coating is fully cured, the resulting product is a durable, rigid plastic coating with numerous desirable mechanical properties.
1. Multi-layered smooth coating
- Prepare the substrate as specified (we
recommend shot-blasting or rough
grinding with a diamond disk) and remove
dust with a vacuum cleaner. - Apply Primer SN at a rate of 0.2 kg/m2 (if
required). - When the primer has hardened apply the
first coat of Mapefloor FC 200 ME by
straight trowel or roller. - Apply finishing coat of Mapefloor FC 200 ME
with a straight steel trowel down to a
feather edge and then backroll crosswise
with a short-piled roller or apply the mix
directly on the surface with a
medium-piled roller.
2. Multi-layered non-slip coating
- Prepare the substrate as specified (we
recommend shot-blasting or rough
grinding with a diamond disk) and remove
dust with a vacuum cleaner. - Apply Primer SN at a rate of 0.2 kg/m2 (if
required). - When the primer has hardened pour
Mapefloor FC 200 ME onto the floor and
spread it out evenly with a straight trowel
or roller. - Fully broadcast with Quartz 0.5. If a higher
degree of non-slip finish is required, sand
with a larger particle size may be used. In such cases the consumption rate of the next coat will be higher. - When the first coat of Mapefloor FC 200 ME
has hardened remove any excess sand
and remove the last grains of sand
with an industrial-grade vacuum cleaner. - Apply the finishing coat of Mapefloor FC
200 ME with a straight steel trowel down to
a feather edge then backroll crosswise with
a short-piled roller, or apply the mix directly
on the surface with a medium-piled roller.
Make sure the roller strokes criss-cross to
get a better finish.
