Pigmented water-based epoxy coating concrete floor application

Step 1: Surface Preparation

Before sealing the surface, it needs to be completely free of all contaminants, clean, and cured, and completely etched and profiled. Make sure the moisture is limited because water-based epoxy systems are non-vapor-permeable sealers.
The temperature needs to be between 50 and 90 Fahrenheit and a relative humidity below 75%. There has to be no precipitation in the areas you apply the product for a 12-hour period after the application.

Step 2: Mixing Water-base Pigmented Floor Epoxy

Setup a mixing area that’s in a different area than where you applied the product. Start with mixing Part A for 3 minutes to make sure the pigments are properly dispersed.
Pour in 1-part B to 4 parts A for a minimum of three minutes and spread out ALL material onto intended application surface.
Do not leave pail upside down to drain onto floor. Any un-mixed portion of A or B that may have accidentally been placed onto side of pail can now drain down onto the floor, creating a spot that will not cure.

Step 3: Apply Epoxy on Concrete Floor

Using a squeegee or a good quality roller, apply the first coat.
When the product has been squeegeed or rolled out evenly, back-roll it to eliminate marks from the roller and get an even distribution of color.
The first coat can function by itself depending on application you want. If you want a more scratch-resistance complete coating system you need to apply a finish coat utilizing a Polyurethane or Polyaspartic transparent coating.

Step 4: (Optional) Apply Epoxy Top-Coat Protection

If you’re applying a finishing top coat, and the first layer has been allowed to cure for more than 12 hours, using a 100 grit sanding screen you need to screen the coat.
