When seeded <br />or blended with aggregate, it can be used on properly prepared concrete <br />and steel substrates to provide a chemical resistant surface with excellent <br />slip/skid resistance and wear characteristics. <br />EPOXY-N161 will bond to properly prepared dry and damp substrates <br />and cures to a tough, blush-free, tile-like surface. In outdoor use, the coating <br />is freeze-thaw resistant and will not embrittle but will acquire a chalky <br />surface when exposed to sunlight. <br />Advantages: <br />• Zero VOC’s - meets LEED criteria <br />• Convenient 2:1 (by vol.) mixing ratio <br />• Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. <br />• Applied by brush, roller or with two-component spray equipment. <br />• Resistant to strong mineral acids and bases as well as organic acids <br />such as acetic and lactic in moderate concentrations. <br />Substrate Preparation: <br />• Concrete surfaces to be treated with EPOXY-N161 may be dry or <br />damp but must be sound and free of all bond-inhibiting substances. <br />Remove existing floor coverings, coatings, adhesives, curing compounds, <br />efflorescence, dust, grease, laitance, etc. down to bare concrete via <br />mechanical means such as steel shot blasting, scarifying or grinding <br />to CSP 2 – 3. Concrete Surface Profile as per ICRI Guideline No. <br />310.2–2013. Standard acid etching is NOT allowed. Repair larger <br />cracks with a suitable patching mortar. Seal small or hairline cracks <br />with EPOXY-Primer. Steel surfaces should be cleaned to ‚white metal‘ <br />according to SSPC SP 5. <br />Mixing Instructions: <br />• In cold weather, preconditioning the components to 70-85°F is <br />suggested for ease of handling. <br />• Wear safety glasses and clean neoprene rubber gloves when handling <br />the material. <br />• EPOXY-N161 is a two-component adhesive. The resin to hardener (Part <br />A: Part B) mix ratio is 2:1, by volume. Premix the individual components <br />Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. <br />www.aquafin.net</p> <p>before drawing from bulk packaging. <br />• Transfer the accurately measured quantities of Part A and Part B into a <br />mixing container. Use quantities that can be applied before the potlife of <br />the mixed material expires. <br />• Blend thoroughly using a Jiffy mixer blade attached to a low speed <br />(350 - 750 rpm) electric or pneumatic drill. Proper mixing will take 2 - 3 <br />minutes. <br />Application Instructions: <br />• The recommended minimum substrate temperature during application <br />and for cure is 50°F. <br />• Apply the material after the daily substrate temperature cycle has <br />reached its peak. <br />• Protect the area to be treated from strong sun light, wind and rain. <br />Indoors, prevent noticeable drafts. <br />• Apply with a stiff bristle brush, short nap roller, squeegee or airless, heat <br />able, two-component spray equipment. <br />• When used as a coating, apply in two or more 8 - 10 mil coats rather <br />than one thick coat. <br />• For optimum chemical resistance, 3 coats are recommended to reduce <br />the potential for holidays. Subsequent coats may be applied as soon <br />as the previous coat is touch-dry. When resistance to strong chemicals is <br />required, a 6 - 8 mil topcoat is recommended. <br />• When used as a surfacing, pour mixed material onto the substrate and <br />spread to the desired coverage (20 - 30 mils/coat) with a V-notch <br />trowel or squeegee. <br />• Allow the coating to become tacky to tack-free before applying the next <br />coat. Avoid excessive cure times between coats of more than 48 hours. <br />• Aggregate, if used, must be broadcast onto the EPOXY-N161 within 15 <br />minutes of applying the coating. The recommended aggregate size is <br />#20x40 or #30x50 mesh. Typical broadcast rates are .75 - 1.5 lb/sq if. <br />• For additional application information, see ACI 503R, Chapter 7, <br />Applying Epoxy Compounds.” <br />Limitations: <br />• Store at temperatures between 50°F to 90°F (10°C to 32°C) <br />• Protect form freezing <br />• Substrates on or below grade must have a functioning vapor barrier <br />to minimize the potential for blistering or delaminating of the applied <br />coating. If one is not present apply Aquafin VAPORTIGHT COATSG2 as a primer to the substrate. Consult TDS for proper application <br />instructions. <br />• Broadcast aggregate must be resistant to the chemicals used in the <br />exposure area and must be completely encapsulated by a topcoat. <br />• Exposure to 98% sulfuric acid will cause formation of a reddish surface <br />film that can be removed by washing with water. <br />• Do not add solvents or otherwise thin this material. <br />Clean-Up: <br />All tools and equipment must be cleaned before the mixed material cures. <br />Cleaning can be facilitated with a solvent such as acetone or heavy-duty <br />Page 1 of 2</p> <p>(updated 12/30/22 EK/SB/AC)</p> <p>EPOXY-N161 (Novolac) <br />detergents.
