Clear Polyurethane UVR Coating

DESCRIPTION

Resincoat Clear Polyurethane UVR paint is an ideal protective topcoat solution over epoxy and similar floor coatings. It is also suitable as a wall paint. The clear finish will seal and protect your existing coating reducing the wear and discolouration of the system.

Easy to apply, this coating is great for DIY & industrial users. When used as a topcoat it will provide excellent protection from elements both indoors and outdoors as well as offering high levels of abrasion resistance. Polyurethanes are extremely flexible, and it is this flexibility that aids in absorbing impacts, ensuring your floor remains in good working condition for many years.

APPLICATION GUIDE

Preparation

Old paint finishes should be removed if flaking at all and the surface should be sanded to create a texture (also known as a mechanical key) prior to applying Clear Polyurethane UVR Coating. When preparing for a floor coat, doing so mechanically (shot-blasting or grinding) is always advisable for best results, but if that is not possible then sanding the area or our Etch and Clean is a good alternative (Be advised: Etch and Clean only suitable for use on bare concrete). After the surface has been completely abraded, thoroughly sweep and vacuum the area of any remaining dust or contaminants. For more information on preparation, please see technical data sheet. 

Please note: If using as a topcoat ensure your surface is free of any dust, dirt and contaminants. Do not apply to flaking or damaged coatings.

Priming

• For new concrete floors or floors in good condition, prime with Resincoat Damp Tolerant Primer

• For dusty, old or weaker floors prime with Resincoat Deep Penetrating Primer

• For greasy floors with heavy oil residue clean thoroughly using a suitable degreaser scraping off any dust or dirt and then prime with Resincoat Oil Tolerant Primer

Application

We advise when applying this product the ambient temperature is at least 7°C.

1. Mix Part A on its own with a mixing paddle attached to an electric drill for about 1 minute before adding ALL of Part B and continue to mix for another 90 seconds, keeping the paddle in suspension to avoid mixing air into the unit.

2. Pour entirety of the tin's contents into a plastic paint scuttle or tray.

3. Immediately begin applying your paint with a nylon-bonded resin suitable roller.

4. Use a brush around the edges to cut in (a second pair of hands can be useful for this stage).

5. As soon as the first coat has started curing (is no longer tacky to touch) you can re-coat; this should take 12-16 hours at 10°C.

6. The cured final coat is ok for foot traffic. Cars and heavy objects, however, should be left off the new coating for the first 48 hours and chemicals including water should not be introduced for the first 7 days (Full chemical cure).

PLEASE NOTE: The pot life of this product is 20 minutes. This means that once parts have been mixed, the paint will start to chemically cure after this time. Ensure you remove the paint from the tin in this window. The paint will then be workable on your floor for up to 40 minutes. 

Pot life = Time to harden in pot following addition of hardener

Working Time = Time to apply product before it becomes unworkable
