GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

-› The surface must be dry prior to the application.
-› Application of the coatings should not take place if preparation or fog is

   expected imminently. Application should not be done if the surface

   temperature is less than 5⁰C above the dew point.
   Substrate temperature : minimum = 5⁰C
   Maximum = 45⁰C
-› Coating material shall be stored in a dry place at (5⁰C to 45⁰C) and

    shall be delivered to the job site in new unopened containers bearing

    the manufacturers label. All materials shall be stacked in a neat and

    orderly fashion by type and component. Empty containers will be neatly

   stacked for count verification by the designed project inspector.

    Containers may not be removed from the project without the approval of

    the inspector.
-› Coating materials must be covered and protected from the weather until

    ready for installation. The material must remain dry prior to and during

    application.
-› For a new lagoon or other excavated site a FAIRMATE technical person

   survey shall be conducted to determine the suitability of the proposed

   site.

SURFACE PREPARATION

-› If new concrete is based on Portland cement the concrete must cure at

    least 28 days (above 300C). The new concrete shall be free of cracks.
-› New or old concrete shall be thoroughly cleaned to remove all dirt, oil,

    grease, form release compound, chemicals and other contaminants.
-› Surface should be sound and level, blow holes and surface defects can

    be made good with FAIRSCREED VF epoxy putty to facilitate the

    application of a uniform continious coating. Allow the FAIRSCREED VF to

    cure over night.
-› If damage concrete floors repaired with FAIRSCREED R for application of

    FAIRSCREED R see the technical data
    bulletin of FAIRSCREED R..

PRIMER

-› After completing the specified surface preparation apply the specified

    primer.
-› A primer may be recommended for one of the following reason to

   penetrate porosity, block moisture and provide maximum adhesion of

   the subsequent topcoat.

PRIMER APPLICATION

MIXING
-› Primer comprise of two components, the BASE and HARDENER should be

   poured into the can containing the BASE and drained well. The two

   components should be thoroughly mixed using a mechanical stirrer e.g.

   electric drill with paddle attachment at least 2-3 minutes. Please place

   plastic sheet under the tin or tray containing the coating to prevent

   spillage on surface.
-› In solvent base coating brush should clean with SAFECORE TOOL CLEAN

    in every two hours and in SAFECORE TOOL CLEAN in every 45 minutes.
-› Avoid any thinner or solvent mix in coating materials.
-› Keep cotton waste readily available so that the dust or spillage can be

   cleaned immediately
-› Use cello tape for exact bordering and apply it before applying coating.
-› Before starting the job wear hand gloves and FAIRMATE shirt. It is

   compulsory.
-› After applying coating please check the thickness with thickness comb

   when coating is wet.
-› After completing application of coating using thread or strips make

   boundary to prevent entry in to the applied area. This will prevent

   damage to the applied coating.
-› Use tins and other items are stack properly and appropriate separate

   place.
-› Clean the equipments, after coating application, with SAFECORE TOOL

   CLEAN thoroughly.
-› Prepare the work sheet and get sign from the customer.
-› At the time of application prevent entry of other people in to the area

   except the applicators.
-› Keep material dry and clean place
-› If spillage of coating enters in eyes, wash thoroughly with cold water

    several times and consult a doctor.

APPLICATION

-› PRIMER should be applied by brush, roller to give a continuous clear film

   on the prepared surface.
-› Allow the primer to cure the minimum recoat time before applying the

   coating.

WHERE TO USE

Coating provided for floors, walls, offices, dairies, car parking, food processing area, hotel etc. coating is chemical Resistant.

APPLICATION OF COATING

Mixing :
Protective coating comprise of two components the BASE & the HARDNER, which are supplied pre-weighed. The HARDNER should be thoroughly mixed using a mechanical stirrer e.g. electric drill with paddle attachment, until the material is uniform in colour and free from streakiness.

APPLICATION :
Coating should be applied by brush, roller to give a continuous film on the prepared surface. The second coat should be applied in similar fashion on the following day.

PRECAUTIONS
Ø First make the planning check the coating materials as per requirements i.e. nos. of brush, nos. of skill and unskilled
workers. Everything is okay then start the coating application.
Ø BASE & HARDENER mix properly at least 2-3 minutes.
