WARNINGS AND HAZARDS:

Before using the products, always refer to MSDS for important warnings and safety information.  Use only in areas with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors. Keep away from heat and flame.

INSTALLATION

     Surface Preparation: All surfaces which are to be coated with Epoxy.com 454 LVOC Non-gassing must be free of contamination such as curing compounds, concrete hardeners, bond breakers, paint, etc. All surfaces must be dry, having a maximum water content of 20%. Water-curing concrete is recommended instead of using concrete curing compounds. Concrete surfaces should be cleaned by sandblasting, beadblasting or acid etching. Allow a minimum drying time of 72 hours. Except for non-moving shrinkage cracks, and joints must be sealed with Epoxy.com Product #910, a single component, moisture-cured sealant manufactured by Epoxy.com. All surfaces, except for plywood in good condition, must be primed with Epoxy.com Product #888 or Product #886 prior to application of the coating system at a rate of 350 square feet per gallon (8.6 m2/liter).

     All seams between plywood sheets and the transition from the metal flashing and the plywood deck must be reinforced by imbedding a 3 inch (7.6 cm) wide strip of glass cloth tape in wet Epoxy.com 454 LVOC Non-gassing, which is brushed evenly over the seam to a width of 4 inches (10 cm) and a thickness of about 20 mils (0.5 mm) wet. The application of Epoxy.com 454 LVOC Non-gassing can subsequently be made immediately over the entire area, including the taped areas. Where Epoxy.com 454 LVOC Non-gassing is used as a protective coating on polyurethane foam roofs, it must be applied within 8 hours from the time the foam is installed.

Application: Epoxy.com 454 LVOC Non-gassing shall be applied at a rate of 25 square feet per gallon (0.61 m2/liter) per coat resulting in a 50 dry mil (1.2 mm) thickness. Greater thickness can be achieved if necessary without a problem of gassing or blistering. Epoxy.com 454 LVOC Non-gassing can be applied by airless spray equipment, roller, or notched squeegee. Airless spray equipment must have a minimum of 30 to 1 ratio. Permit a 48 hour cure time after the final coat is applied before continuing with tile setting, carpet laying, or back filling. Epoxy.com 454 LVOC Non-gassing has a unique chemistry in that you the cure time can be accelerated by merely adding water. Addition of 1 ounce per gallon (7.5 g/liter)  will reduce the cure time between 3-4 hours at 77OF (25OC) and 50% R.H. Water must be thoroughly mixed in prior to application.
