APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
AQUAPOXY II FLOOR COATING SYSTEM (TS-920)
This information has
been prepared for use with Aquapoxy II Floor
Coating applied to properly prepared surfaces.
Allow new concrete to cure 28 days or more
before application. We recommend establishing
the accurate Moisture Content (MC) of the
substrate to avoid moisture related problems.
The maximum MC for all surfaces is 10.0%.
Recommend utilizing a properly adjusted moisture
meter, VaporGuage calcium chloride moisture
test, or the equivalent. Where hydrostatic
pressure is found to be above 4LBS recommend
using TS-104 Seal-it! Deep Penetrating Sealer.
Do not use under 50F, outdoors in hot direct
sunlight, when humidity is above 75% or when
rain is forecast within 48 hours. Most
applications are by roller-coat, however brush
and spray applications are acceptable. We
recommend using 3/8” non-shedding roller cover
on smooth surfaces, use higher nap covers on
rougher surfaces. All applications will require
the removal of all grease, oil, glue and
contaminates and the use TS-695 Etching Cleaner
or an acceptable equivalent. Thoroughly scuff
all existing coatings before application. When
using over previously applied repair, stain or
coating materials we recommend doing a test area
before committing to the entire project to
prevent possible compatibility issues. Recommend
removing existing coatings or sealers for best
results. All recommendations, written and verbal
advice, these directions, label instructions and
standard industry practices must be strictly
adhered to or Limited Warranty is voided.
1. PREP-WORK: All
repair materials must be paintable. Sanding,
grinding or blasting is always beneficial but
often not required where circumstances and
conditions permit, you must be the judge,
consider carefully before proceeding. Once
repair materials have cured power-wash to remove
dirt and grime. Use TS-695 Etching Cleaner or
the equivalent to remove contaminates and open
the pores. Use TS-104 Seal-It! where hydrostatic
pressure is present above 4LBS according to
label directions. Allow Seal-It! to fully cure
before application.
2. APPLY COLOR
COAT(s): Stir Aquapoxy II with a high speed
mixer for 30 seconds or two minutes by stir
stick. Hand brush the edges then roll coat the
remaining area. Apply evenly avoiding heavy
build up and overlaps. Recommended WFT (Wet Film
Thickness) is 4 mils per coat. A second coat of
Aquapoxy II will be required to achieve
recommended film build and even sheen. Allow to
stand approximately 4-48 hours before applying
next coat. Aquapoxy II (color) should be
recoated within 48 hours or sand between coats.
NOTE: If using chips broadcast them evenly onto
the still wet surface within 5 minutes for best
adhesion. Proceed until entire area has been
treated equally. Aquapoxy II clear coat (step 3)
is required to seal in and protect the chips. If
using a non-slip additive (see TS-630, 631, 632)
mix it into second coat and apply as directed.
3. APPLY CLEAR COAT:
Allow 4-48 hours before moving forward with
clear coat. Stir Aquapoxy II Clear as seen in
step 2. Hand brush the edges then roll coat the
remaining area. Apply evenly avoiding heavy
build up and overlaps. Recommended WFT (Wet Film
Thickness) is 4 mils per coat. Allow to stand 48
hours before allowing foot traffic on the new
surface and 5-7 days before allowing motorized
traffic. Do not allow moisture on surface for 48
hours minimum. Actual times may vary.
NOTE: Aquapoxy II colors are
satin, clear is gloss. To achieve a solid color
satin finish, apply two coats of color. For a
gloss finish apply one coat of color, one coat
of clear. Never apply to substrates exceeding
10% MC or 4 LBS hydrostatic pressure. Dry and
cure time vary with temperature, ventilation,
thickness of application and color. Allow extra
dry and cure time for dark colors and low
temperatures. We hope this information helps you
achieve the results you expect and years of
problem free service. We are available to answer
