Advantages

• Waterproof and resistant to abrasion. • Seals hairline cracks. • Resistant to diesel, petrol, mild acids and numerous solvents. • Used as a protective coat against chemical attack. • Once cured, the source states it does not crack under hydrostatic pressure. • Resistant to the damaging action of many corrosive fumes that attack unprotected concrete or metal surfaces.

Surface preparation

The surface must be dry. Metallic surfaces should be sand-blasted. Concrete must be free of deteriorated cement, grease, oil and dust.

Mixing and thinning

Pour the curing component into the oversized container of the base component using the specified mixing ratio, then stir thoroughly for at least 4-5 minutes until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. MC-Epo Paint Flex can be thinned with 5-10% of the appropriate MC-Thinner 02.

Application and cleaning

Apply by brush, roller or spray. Clean tools and equipment with MC-Thinner 02.

Safety precautions

• Prevent material from entering the eyes. • Avoid skin contact. • Provide adequate ventilation. • Keep solvent-containing material away from sparks and flame.

Storage / shelf life

Shelf life: 12 months.
