HOW TO USE
Surface Preparation:
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil, dust, loose grout etc. Cement or concrete surfaces must be allowed to set completely and no paint should be applied until at least 28 days after the concrete or the cement has been laid down. Surfaces that are not rough or porous must be roughened by mechanical means, preferably, or by applying our chemical remover such as our DESCA 2F product. Afterwards, rinse the surface with plenty of water in order to eliminate any product residue. Iron or steel surfaces must be primed in advance using an epoxy or other compatible primer such as TECMA PAINT.
Instructions:
Stir the contents of the base component. Continue stirring and gradually add the contents of the catalyst container. Continue stirring until a uniform blend is obtained.
On concrete and cement surfaces dilute the first coat with 10-15% water, depending on the porosity of the surface. As a coat of primer you can also use TECMA PAINT ECOTRANS diluted with 30-35% water or TECMA PAINT A-H. After at least 8 hours, at 20ºC, apply the second coat undiluted. On iron and steel surfaces, apply the undiluted product to the primed surface.
Special Recommendations:
- Cement and concrete surfaces must be completely dry before applying TECMA PAINT ® ECOPOX.
- Do not apply when the temperature falls below 15ºC
- Do not apply when the relative humidity is greater than 80%, or when the surface temperature is less than 3ºC above dew point.
