ARMOR EPOXY
EPOXIES, URETHANES, ETC.
SURFACE PREPARATION: For a thin film build system (3-10 mils) we suggest either mechanical scarification, acid etching (and then neutralize to
7 PH), or diamond grinding until an appropriate profile is accomplished. For a high build system (over 10 mils), we suggest a fine brush blast (shot
blast). To ensure adequate adhesion, the substrate must be free of all dirt, oil, dust, laitance and foreign contaminants. Prior to application a test
should be made to determine that the concrete has an acceptable vapor barrier. This can be done by placing a 4’ X 4’ plastic sheet on the substrate
and completely taping down the edges. If after 24 hours, the substrate is still dry below the plastic sheet, then the substrate does not show signs of
eventual hydrostatic pressure problems that may later cause loss of adhesion. However, Armor Epoxy can be applied to a damp floor as long as
there are no standing puddles and the dampness is not from a continuous source of moisture due to lack of a vapor barrier. Adhesion tests are
recommended prior to using.
PRODUCT MIXING: Pour a full pre-packaged kit of 1 part of Part A to 1 part of Part B together and mix well with slow speed mixing equipment
such as a jiffy mixer until the material is thoroughly mixed and homogenous. Water Based two part systems need to be mixed well for adequate
cure and a streak free finish.
PRODUCT APPLICATION: Apply the mixed material by brush or roller with a 1/4”” nap - 3/8” nap shedless roller cover within the usable pot life
time frame, as well as the recommended temperature and relative humidity guidelines listed in the Technical Information section. If continuous out-
gassing in the concrete is causing bubbles, re-roll the material using a cross rolling method before the material cures to reduce or eliminate air en-
trapment. If the material becomes thick while applying and sticking to the roller , stop applying and discard the mixed material. At this point it has
reached the end of the usable pot life. While applying keep a wet edge to prevent roller marks. It is recommended to work in sections usually using
control joints as dividers to ensure proper application results. Do not allow to Puddle! If recoating after 24 hours a light sanding using a fine sanding
screen may be needed to ensure adequate inner coat adhesion.
PLEASE NOTE: Applying Armor Epoxy outside of the suggested parameters may result in job failure. It is always recommended to test the product
in a small, inconspicuous area (on the same concrete substrate) for desired results prior to application. Coverage rates may vary for all coatings and
substrates depending on porosity, density, texture etc.
Use PM Solvent. Dispose of containers in accordance with local and federal regulations.
Dried, cured urethane may be removed with a commercial stripper, but recommended removal is by way of mechanical
means, including sanding, shot blasting, etc.
►All new concrete must be cured for at least 28 days prior to application.
►Coverage rates depend upon many conditions including application method, surface porosity, applicator, ect.
►Armor Epoxy should be applied in thin coats. Do not puddle.
►Be aware that this product may be slippery when wet. Anti Slip additives may be needed to reduce surface slip hazards.
►Armor Epoxy may darken the surface of many new and existing concrete substrates. Test prior to use.
►Product will yellow in the presence of UV light or other forms of light such as sodium vapor lighting.
►Physical properties listed on this technical data sheet are typical values not specifications.
•• If applying over an existing coating, proper adhesion and compatibility tests are essential. In this application the substrate
preparation, application, performance and all other liabilities are strictly the end users responsibility. Foundation Armor
offers no guaranty, warranty or other claims to the success or results of the job in this circumstance.
