7. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

7.1 Preparation:

Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from all foreign matter such as grease etc.

Loose or weak flaking material should be removed. Best results are obtained by the use of an appropriate Antel cleaner.

Due to the porosity of substrates, it is important to apply a primer to the substrate in order to seal it. Antel=s water based epoxy floor primer has been especially developed for this purpose.

7.2 Mixing:

Empty the entire contents of Pack 'B' into Pack 'A' and stir for 3 minutes. Add water in increments to adjust to desired viscosity and agitate for a further 3 minutes until uniform.

7.3 Application:

Having allowed the previously applied Antel Floor Primer to cure, apply by brush or roller. Two coats of floor paint are recommended, allow 5 hours between primer and first coat and 5 hours between first and second finish coat, depending on temperature and relative humidity of the surrounding area. (Coatings should be tack free between applications).

7.4 Curing:

Tack Free Through Cure

at 20°C 65% RH 5 hours 10 hours

at 8°C, 65% RH 12 hours 24-26 hours

Pot life at 20°C 1.5 hours
