Technical Overview
-
Chemical Properties: 2-part water-based epoxy
-
Application Temperature Range: 10°C to 35°C
Trade Professional Information
-
Required Tools: Mixing pail, electric stirrer with paddle attachment, squeegee, stiff nylon broom, medium/long nap roller, wet film thickness gauge, sandpaper (if necessary).
-
Trade-Specific Tips: Ensure thorough surface preparation, including cleaning and levelling the substrate. Use a wet film thickness gauge to ensure proper application thickness. Allow adequate drying time between coats and before applying subsequent finishes. For specific application requirements, refer to the product data sheet or contact RLA Technical Department.
-
Common Issues and Solutions: Avoid application in temperatures below 10°C or above 35°C, or when relative humidity exceeds 80%, as these conditions can affect the cure rate. Do not apply to steel/metal surfaces to prevent corrosion. For substrates with active water leaks, treat with a suitable hydraulic setting cement/water plug before applying Moisture Seal.
