FLOOR SUBSTRATE PRIMING REQUIREMENTS
Highly porous surfaces | Polaprime 2 |
Firm painted surfaces | Light Abrading |
Medium density concrete* | No primer |
Wood | No primer |
*Highly troweled dense concrete may need special treatment. Call Andek for assistance.
It is advisable to test previously coated or treated surfaces by applying POLAFLOOR COLORCOAT (and primer if recommended) to a 4' x 4' area. After the area has cured, inspect the coating for adhesion, blisters, pinholes or other signs of incompatibility. It may be necessary to sand or rough some surfaces to improve adhesion. POLAFLOOR COLORCOAT is applied straight out of the container after 2 minutes of low speed power stirring. POLAFLOOR COLORCOAT is usually applied using a soft brush or roller; however, airless spray may also be used. Two coats are applied at 200-240 square feet per gallon each. For a traction enhanced surface, add 2 to 4 lbs. of dry broadcast medium aggregate per gallon of POLAFLOOR COLORCOAT. Blend in the aggregate using low speed mixing and roller apply as the second coat. For more texture, increase the quantity of the aggregate. Andek can supply the aggregate if needed. For added wear resistance or resistance to ponded conditions, topcoat with Clearcoat 44 at 250-300 square feet per gallon.
LIMITATIONS:
Do not apply to frozen or saturated surfaces. Do not apply if the temperature cannot be maintained above 45°F for 6 hours. This product is not intended for use where standing water exists unless it is topcoated with Clearcoat 44. It is advisable to test previously sealed, treated or painted surfaces. Protect from freezing. Shelf life is 1 year in factory sealed containers stored indoors.
MAINTENANCE:
If the surface becomes dirty, clean with warm water and mild soap solution. Rinse with clear water. Avoid using aggressive solvents or cleaners. For damaged areas, re-coat with POLAFLOOR COLORCOAT.
PRECAUTIONS:
POLAFLOOR COLORCOAT is an alkaline, water-based product. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, immediately flush with clear water. For contact with eyes, get medical attention in addition to flushing. Avoid inhalation of spray mist. If spray mist is inhaled, seek medical attention immediately. In case of ingestion, contact a physician immediately. Wear rubber gloves, coveralls, and safety goggles when applying POLAFLOOR COLORCOAT. Keep product out of reach of children and pets.
