Preparation
Clean and dry surface. Ensure surface to be coated is free of all dirt, grease, oil, paint, curing agents and other contaminants. Removal of Oil Contamination by degreaser and alkaline cleaning pressure wash.
Acid-wash to enhanced surface porosity and etch the surface
Ensure moisture free surface. Allow to completely dry, run Dry Test. Place a piece of plastic over a small area, tape the edges and leave for 1 hour. Remove plastic, if there is no moisture on either surface, concrete is sufficiently dry.
Ideally, always consider surface grinding and removal of loose materials. Grinding is always advisable prior to application of all Shimicoat Epoxy products, to maximize adhesion.
For further information, please refer to SHIMICOAT Instruction for ‘Surface Preparations’.
Application
Crack Repair:
Use any of SHIMICOAT Clear Epoxy Resins, mix at correct ratios and add Super Ceramic Filler twice as much as resin, at a rate of 200%. Mix for 2-3 minutes and apply to your surface within curing time-frame of Epoxy product used.
For example, if using Ultra Clear Epoxy, add 1.0Lt of Part B (Curing Agent) into 2.0Lt of Part A (Resin), mix for 2-3minutes and add 6.0Lt (2.7Kg) of Super Ceramic Filler. If necessary, add EpoSeal Diluent at a rate of 5% to smoothen the paste.
Screeding:
Use any of SHIMICOAT Epoxy Resins, mix at correct ratios and add Super Ceramic Filler same quantity as resin, at a rate of 100%. Mix for 2-3 minutes and apply to your surface within curing time-frame of Epoxy product used.
For example, if using Premium Tinted Epoxy, add 1.0Lt of Part B (Curing Agent) into 3.0Lt of Part A (Resin), mix for 2-3minutes and add 4Lt (1.8Kg) of Super Ceramic Filler, mix for another 2-3minutes. Apply within half an hour before it cures. If necessary, add EpoSeal Diluent at a rate of 5% to smoothen the paste.
SlipRes:
Use any of SHIMICOAT Epoxy Resins, mix at correct ratios and add Super Ceramic Filler at a rate of 10% by volume. Mix for 2-3 minutes and apply to your surface by roller or brush within curing time-frame of Epoxy product used.
For example, if using Premium Tinted Epoxy, add 1.0Lt of Part B (Curing Agent) into 3.0Lt of Part A (Resin), mix for 2-3minutes and add 300mL (135gr) of Super Ceramic Filler, mix for another 2-3minutes. Apply within half an hour before it cures. If necessary, add EpoSeal Diluent at a rate of 5% to smoothen the paste.
Direction
Super Ceramic Filler has three distinctive applications:
NO Application Usage Direction
1 Crack Repair Twice as much as resin quantity (200% by volume) Trawl and fill the crack.
Let it cure over-night (8-16 Hours depending on temperature)
Sand and Clear Up, to get the surface ready for Coating Application.
2 Screeding Same quantity as resin used
(100% by volume) Screed over the entire floor.
Smooth off using trawl or squeegee.
Let it cure over night (8-16 Hours depending on temperature).
3 SlipRes 10% (by Volume) of
the quantity of resin used Add to your resin.
Mix and apply using roller or squeegee.
Continuously mix to ensure ideal suspension, as SlipRes Super Ceramic may float to the surface over time.
Let it cure over-night (8-16 Hours depending on temperature)
Super Ceramic enhances the performance of Epoxy matrix by improving compression strength, density and specific gravity reduction, improved rheological characteristics, increased thermal and fire rating properties and ultimately, Slip Resistant attributes.
Super Ceramic provides major functional benefits and added values through enhanced performance of surface coating beyond non-slip properties:
1. Durability,
2. Easy cleaning feature, Easy Mop, Easy Wipe.
3. Enhanced Mechanical and chemical resistant properties,
4. Fire resistant properties,
Mixing:
- Prepare Epoxy mix by adding appropriate quantity of Curing Agent (Part B) into the resin (part B).
- Mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes manual or with mechanical mixer at low speed (750rmp Max).
- Add the correct quantity of Super Ceramic materials (depending on your application) and mix for extra 1-2min to ensure complete suspension of particles into the epoxy matrix.
- Apply to the surface and use well within curing time.
Crack Repair: Twice as much as resin quantity (200% by volume)
Screeding: Same quantity as resin used (100% by volume)
SlipRes: 10% (by Volume) of the quantity of resin used.
