Epoxotherm Applications
Application methods:
- Airless or Pot Sprayed (preferred method): tip size .035; apply in four (4) coats
- Roller or Brush: apply in four (4) coats
- Add an additional coat for vertical surfaces
Applied rate:
- 64 sq. ft./gal. (6 sq.m./gal.)
Film thickness:
- Wet: 40 mils (1 mm) per coat
- Dry: 30 mils each coat (750 microns) per coat
- Total dry thickness, 120 mils (3 mm) recommended or four (4) coats
Temperature:
- 32° F (0° C) – 100° F (38° C)
- Colder temperatures will increase dry time (cure time can double at temperatures below 40° F)
Dry times:
- 1 hour to touch
- 5 hours to recoat or handle
Full cure:
- 14 days
Precautions:
- 4 hour pot life (normal temperatures of 70° F (20° C)). Shorter pot life at hotter ambient temperatures.
Limitations:
- As with any epoxy, Epoxotherm will chalk and loose gloss when exposed to UV rays. For outdoor use, overcoat with Enamo Grip or Super Therm®
- Do not use as a stand-alone floor coating.
- Do not use directly on food preparation surfaces.
- Do not apply over chlorinated rubber. Even after sandblasting, the chlorination can attack the solvents and make the coating brittle.
- Epoxotherm is not as elastomeric and does not adhere to metal, tar, rubber, etc. as well as Super Therm®. Must rough surface of substrate for best adhesion.
