| APPLICATION DETAILS | ||
| Application conditions | The surface should be dry and at least 4 weeks old and the relative humidity of the concrete less than 97 %. During application and drying, the temperature of the air, surface and lacquer should be at least 10 °C, and the relative humidity of the air below 80 %. | |
| Preparation | New concrete surfaces:
Remove the laitance layer from new concrete surfaces by surface sanding or by hydrochloric acid pickling. Remove laitance dust carefully after sanding by vacuum cleaner or brush. Do the pickling with a diluted hydrochloric acid solution (1 part concentrated hydrochloric acid, 4 parts water). Rinse carefully with water and dry the floor. Old concrete floors: Remove dust and loose material from the floor. Grease, oil, chemicals or other impurities have to be removed by e.g. synthetic Cleaning Agent (Maalipesu) cleaner, sanding or routing. Choose the cleaning method depending on the premises in question. Clean cracks, holes and hollows. Open cracks with e.g. edge grinder. Remove loose material and dust. Fill cracks, opened hollows and holes with e.g. a cement based filler or with an epoxy filler. Sand the filled spots to the same level as the surrounding surface. |
|
| Lacquering | Mix both the hardener and the plastic part separately before combining them. Add the hardener into the plastic part and mix with care using a paint mixer attached to a power drill. Use a slow rotation speed. Mix at least for 3 - 5 minutes. Careless mixing or an incorrect mixing ratio may cause uneven hardening, weaken the quality of the surface and risk the success of the work.
Prime with Akvacoat epoxy lacquer thinned 5-30 % with water. The thinner should always be added into the ready compound and mixed with care. Finishing can be done 16 hours after priming at the earliest. The finishing lacquer can be thinned with maximum of 5 % water. Apply by brush, roller or spatula. |
|
| Cleaning of tools | Clean tools with water and synthetic cleaning detergent. Tikkurila Pensselipesu (Tool Cleaner) is recommended to be used for cleaning hardened paint from tools. | |
| Maintenance instructions | Avoid cleaning approx. 2 weeks after the painting work.
Soiled surfaces can be cleaned with a cleaning tool using a neutral (pH 6-8) detergent and a soft brush, sponge or a dust rag. Rinse the surface carefully after maintenance. Handle the surface with care, ultimate durability and hardness is reached in approx. 2 weeks under normal circumstances. If cleaning is needed, use a soft brush, a mop or a damp cleaning cloth. |
