HOW TO USE ARAS EPOXY 100% 

SURFACE PREPARATION: A fine to medium shot blasting or the use of a diamond grinding machine to obtain a surface profile of a CSP – 3 to a CSP - 5 is suggested for ultimate adhesion. A test should be made to determine that the concrete is dry; this can be done by placing a 4 x 4 plastic sheet on the substrate and taping down the edges. If after 24 hours, the substrate is still dry below the plastic sheet, then the substrate should be ready to coat. More advanced moisture testing kits should be used on floors with suspected moisture problems. Epoxy Flow 100 is designed to be applied only to primed surfaces within the recommended recoat window of the primer or previously sealed surfaces that have sufficient adhesion to the substrate. Apply coating to a clean surface that is completely dry and free of oil, dirt, grime, wax, detergent or any incompatible paint or coating. If applying to an existing fully cured and fully adhered coating, the surface must be cleaned and sanded with 80- 100 grit sandpaper. If multiple coats of Epoxy Flow 100 are required apply the second coat as close as possible to the suggested recoat time (see technical information section on this data sheet). Do not exceed 24 hours to recoat or a light sanding may be needed for adequate adhesion between coats. 

PRIMING: We always suggest priming your concrete with a moisture mitigating primer M.V.B. This gives your extra protection from moisture that could possibly come up through your concrete. We also have a general use primer, Super Prime, that dries very quickly and has tenacious adhesion to concrete. Always let previous coatings become tack free and within the recoat window before coating with Epoxy Flow 100. If recoat window has passed, screen with 80 grit sand screen or similar and wipe. 

PRODUCT MIXING: Pour a full pre- packaged kit of 2 parts of Part A to 1 part of Part B together and mix well with slow speed mixing equipment such as a jiffy mixer until the material is thoroughly mixed and homogeneous. It is suggested to mix in a new, separate bucket from the original package. Typically 2-3 minutes. Avoid whipping air into the coating. Improper mixing may result in product failure. POUR ONTO THE CONCRETE IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING. THIS PRODUCT WILL SET AND BECOME HOT IF ALLOWED TO DWELL IN THE BUCKET. 

PRODUCT APPLICATION: Apply the mixed material with a brush, roller, trowel, notched squeegee or gauge rake and then back roll evenly to maintain the desired thickness within the usable pot life time frame, as well as the recommended temperature and relative humidity guidelines listed in the Technical Information section. If concrete conditions or aggressive mixing causes air entrapment, then an air release roller tool should be used prior to the coating tacking off to remove the air entrapped in the coating. If the material becomes thick while applying and sticking to the application tools, stop applying and discard the mixed material. At this point it has reached the end of the usable pot life. While applying keep a wet edge to prevent streaking. It is recommended to work in sections usually using control joints as dividers to ensure proper application results. Do not allow to Puddle! If recoating after 24 hours a light sanding using a fine sanding screen may be needed to ensure adequate inner coat adhesion.
