INSTALLATION
Epoxy.com Product #488 is a two component material (2 parts A to 1
part B by Vol.). Add Part B to Part A while mixing, using a slow
speed mechanical mixer (Jiffy mixer). Mix until a homogeneous
mixture is obtained (approximately 3 minutes). Use care to scrape
sides and bottom of container to ensure that no unmixed material
remains. Do not whip too much air into the material which may result
in pinholes or blisters. Do not mix more material than can be used
in 10-15 minutes.
Epoxy.com Product #488 will begin to increase in viscosity
immediately after mixing and will double in viscosity within 17-20
minutes. Material should be in place at this point.
Immediately after mixing, pour material on floor in a ribbon and
spread with a flat trowel or notched squeegee depending on thickness
of application. Typical application is 8-12 mils (130-200 sq/gal.).
Backroll spread material gently with a short nap mohair roller. Do
not over roll and entrap air. Total application time should take no
longer than 15 minutes.
Up to 5% solvent (xylene, MEK or similar) may be added at time of
mixing to slightly lower viscosity and lengthen pot life.
Epoxy.com Product #488 will be tack-free in 2-2 ½ hours at 70oF
and 50% relative humidity. Allow 4 hours between coats if applying
more than one coat. Light pedestrian traffic is possible after 4
hours, 24-48 hours before heavy pedestrian or automotive traffic.
Epoxy.com Product #488 is highly stain resistant and hot
tire resistant after 48 hours.
CLEAN-UP
Clean skin with soap and water. Tools and equipment should be
cleaned with xylene or lacquer thinner.
COVERAGE
Epoxy.com Product #488 is typically spread at 160 ft2/gallon
to yield 8-10 mils. Up to 15 mils is possible in one application but
will exhibit a longer set time.
COLOR
Epoxy.com Product #488 is available in Clear, Epoxy.com Standard
(epoxy) Colors and custom colors subject to laboratory approval and
increased cost.
