INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
PREPARATION
New concrete should be at least 28 days old when the moisture content of the surface should be less than 5 %. All laitence and loose material must be removed from the concrete surface. If the concrete is sound and strong with light laitence this can be achieved with acid etching followed by thorough washing with water. The floor must then be left to dry.
Cracked or damaged concrete or heavy laitence should be prepared by grit blasting or scarifying until a solid surface is reached showing exposed
aggregate. The surface should then be leveled using Araldite Hole Filler.
Surfaces contaminated with oil or grease should be flame cleaned or thoroughly washed with a good detergent then rinsed and left to dry.
Steel surfaces must be shot blasted to Swedish standard SA 2 ½ . The coating should then be applied before further corrosion can begin.

MIXING
Mechanical mixing of resin based materials is preferred whenever possible. In order to avoid trapping air in the material, mixers running at less than 600 rpm are recommended.

APPLICATION
Araldite Tar Epoxy 036 TU is supplied as two preweighed packs in exact proportions. No other materials should be added.
STIR CONTENTS OF EACH TIN THOROUGHLY. Pour the entire contents of the hardener into the resin and mix until uniform. Using a brush, roller or airless spray apply about 300 grams of mix per square meter of substrate. This is equivalent to a film of approx. 240 microns thick. Apply a second coating within the stated re-coating interval to achieve fullest possible protection. If a longer period is left between coatings then intercoat adhesion may be impaired.

CURING
The coating will be touch dry within the initial hardness time. Contact with aggressive chemicals should not be allowed until after full cure.

CLEANING DOWN
Use HUntsman Cleaning Fluid.
