Centrecoat Strongcoat HB PE
Centrecoat Strongcoat HB PE is a cost-effective premium quality two-pack, solvent free, epoxy-based coating, which provides floor surfaces with a seamless, hygienic and cosmetically attractive finish.
Best Uses
Strongcoat HB PE is applied by brush or roller in two coats and has very good durability towards pedestrian and vehicular traffic. It also has very good resistance towards many of the chemicals commonly found in an industrial environment.
Application
Preparation
The surface must be clean, dry (less than 75% RH measured by hygrometer) and free from dust, laitance, oils, paints or other forms of contamination. Grit blasting can be used to remove laitance and surface contamination.
Priming
Strongcoat HB PE has excellent adhesion to concrete and priming is not normally necessary. If the substrate is particularly porous, a priming coat of Strongcoat Primer is recommended. If the substrate has humidity reading greater than 75%, it is recommended that Strongcoat DPM be used prior to coating with Strongcoat HB PE. (Please consult the appropriate data sheets for further details).
Mixing
Taking care to ensure that the bottom and sides are thoroughly scraped, transfer the entire contents of the Strongcoat HB PE Hardener and Strongcoat HB PE Resin container into a mixing bucket and, using a jiffy type mixer attached to a slow-running electric drill, mix for approximately two minutes. Never mix Strongcoat HB PE by hand as this could lead to areas of uncured material.
Application
Once mixing is complete, transfer the Strongcoat HB PE to a roller tray and, using a medium-pile simulated sheepskin roller, apply it evenly over the surface.
Strongcoat HB PE should not be applied at temperatures less than 10°C.
Slip Resistant Finishes
Apply a coat of Strongcoat Primer to the surface and allow it to cure for the specified time (see the Strongcoat Primer Data Sheet for further details). Apply a coat of Strongcoat HB PE to the primed surface and, whilst this is still wet, completely blind it with an appropriate grade of Aggregate (consult Technical for details of Aggregate grades). Allow the coat of Strongcoat HB PE to cure for the specified time (see Curing Time) then vacuum off the excess Aggregate. Seal the bound Aggregate with a further coat of Strongcoat HB PE (consult the Technical Department for further details of coverage rates).
Important: The coverage of Strongcoat HB PE will be considerably reduced when using it to seal Aggregate.
