Application Information
Instructions for use

Design Criteria

Vetotop EC493 is designed to be a hard wearing single coat application on cementitious or metal substrates. When used on metal substrates, it is recommended that the application takes place within 2 to 3 hours from substrate preparation to prevent early rust formation. The applied product will be resistant to water as well as a wide range of chemicals.

Mixing

The individual components of Vetotop EC493 should be thoroughly stirred before the three are mixed together. The entire contents of the hardener container should be poured into the base container and the materials mixed thoroughly for at least 3 minutes. The use of a heavy-duty slow speed, flameproof or air driven drill fitted with a mixing paddle is desirable.

Application

The mixed Vetotop EC493 should be applied to the prepared surface using a brush or lambs-wool roller. Ensure that the area is completely coated and that 'ponding' of the material does not occur.

Curing

The applied coating can receive foot traffic in 24 hours, however it shall be allowed to cure for 7 days to achieve full cure to receive vehicular traffic and its chemical resistance properties.

Cleaning

Vetotop should be removed from tools and equipment with Vetonit Solvent XX400 immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.

Surface Preparation

The surface should be sound, clean, free from loose material, grease, laitence, dirt curing compound, etc. Laitence and weak surface layer shall be removed using mechanical methods such as grinding or blasting in order to provide a sound well profiled surface. All necessary repairs should be made prior to application by using epoxy mortar from Vetorep ER range. New concrete floors shall be at least 28 days old with moisture content of less than 5% (shall earlier application be required testing of substrate for moisture conditions shall be made). Steel substrates should be grit blasted to surface quality SA2½ (BS 4232:Second Quality) and application shall take place within 2 to 4 hours after blasting.
