CHEMI COAT ACID STRENGTH
Chemi-Coat® Acid Strength is a virtually solvent free, one coat 100% solids epoxy resin industrial paint. It provides the ultimate resistance against the toughest chemicals. The thick coating makes it ideal for chemical bund, drip or containment areas. One pack will cover up to 180 sqft with one thick coat. A single coat is usually sufficient. Very porous surfaces should be treated first with 4 Hour Epoxy Primer.

HOW TO APPLY
IMPORTANT
Once the contents of the pack have been mixed, a chemical reaction takes place which creates heat, and the product should therefore be used immediately. Food products must be removed from the area during application and cure.
APPLICATION
Best results are obtained in warm conditions (minimum 60°F). On horizontal surfaces, apply by medium pile type roller (not foam) in one coat. On vertical surfaces, 2 thin coats are recommended. One coat is generally sufficient. If a second coat is required, please allow 4-5 hours between coats. On vertical surfaces, 2 thin coats are recommended.
MIXING
Remove the two tins from the tall outer tin. Decant all of the contents of the two tins into the outer tin (scrape around the inside of the tins to remove any residue). Mix the components together very thoroughly using a spatula or similar wide bladed tool (a piece of wooden batten is ideal). Continue mixing until an even color and consistency are obtained. Do not mix more than one unit at a time. If a paint stirrer fitted to an electric drill is used, also use the spatula to blend in any unmixed material from the sides and bottom of the tin.
SURFACE PREPARATION
-Concrete: The surface that will be treated must be dry, at least four weeks old and free of any soft surface laitance, contaminants, and not subject to rising damp. All loose material should be removed. Very smooth bare concrete or concrete with soft surface laitance should be etched with Cemtetch® Self Etching Cleaner and the area thoroughly hosed off and allowed to dry. Grease or oil should be removed with Bio-D Floor Degreaser and Cleaner and the area thoroughly hosed off and allowed to dry. Very smooth previously painted surface should preferably be abraded to improve adhesion.
-Steel: Remove loose or flaking material, rust and any previous coatings by wire brushing or disc grinding to achieve a bright surface. Grease or oil should be removed with Watco Bio-D Floor Degreaser and Cleaner and the metal then washed with water and allowed to dry. Coating should be carried out immediately providing flash rusting has not occurred. A primer is not generally required, however high build epoxy resin coatings can bubble if applied directly to open textured or very porous surfaces. We recommend one coat of 4 Hour Epoxy Primer for such surfaces.
