How to prepare your surface before applying Arcapoxy Heavy Traffic:

CONCRETE:
Must be 28 days old and free of all laitance. Free water content must be < 4% of the dry mass. Clean with an acid solution to wash off all stains and neutralize the alkalinity of the substrate. Rinse thoroughly leaving no soap or cleaning material suds or residue on the surface. Vacuum the surface once dry.
Note: Very smooth concrete must be cleaned with a hydrochloric acid diluted by 10% to guarantee the penetration of the epoxy paint. Rinse thoroughly after treating and let dry. Application of one coat of ARCAPOXY EPOXY PRIMER - 200gr per sqm (m²) before application is recommended.

METAL:
Degrease and sand blast ferrous metal surfaces. Apply one coat of ARCAPOXY EPOXY PRIMER - 200gr per sqm (m²)

WOOD:
Degrease and dust well, removing all loose particles and repairing any non-adhesive zones before application. Apply one coat of ARCAPOXY EPOXY PRIMER - 200gr per sqm (m²)
If the substrate is very porous or friable, crumbling or powdery, apply one coat of EPOXY BINDER before applying EPOXY PAINT.

ANTI-SLIP:
To render an anti-slipery surface apply 500gr per sqm of silica on the first epoxy paint coat, then brush or vacuum all non adherent silica and then apply the second epoxy paint coat.

How to prepare your Arcapoxy Epoxy resin paint:

Pour the hardener (Part B) steadily into the resin (Part A) and thoroughly mix for 2-3 minutes, preferably by slow speed drill with a paddle attachment until an uniform colour is achieved.
