Technical Application Data

Concrete must be fully cured and cleaned prior to any coating operation. The cleaning operation must not leave any residual detergents, acids or alkali cleaners. Concrete flooring should be prepared with shot blasting (SPCC min. 2), diamond grinding and/or machine sanding depending on the severity of the concrete surface condition.

After concrete floor is properly prepared, WBE-2 self-priming material is to be applied within 45°F to 100°F. It is recommended that WBE-2 be diluted up to 25% water and used as a primer coat to the bare concrete which will actively penetrate the porous surface. This primer coat should also be slightly A-Side rich to promote excellent chemical bonding for the sequentially applied basecoat. This is accomplished by increasing the A-Side ratio by 10-12% PBV.

For non-skid floors using WBE2,  mix the A&B sides at 1/1pbv ratio with a jiffy mixer until uniform color is obtained. Add equal amounts of nano glass to the mixed A&B and stir with a jiffy mixer until a uniform color is reached. Apply 8-10 wet mils using a short knapp roller. You may add 5% water if the viscosity needs adjusting.

Recommended wet application film thickness as a primer should be 4-6 mils.
Recommended wet application film thickness as a basecoat and topcoat be 8-10 mils.
Coverage at 8 mils is 300 sq. ft. / mixed gal.

When using WBE2 for coating steel, the substrate should be shot blasted to a sspc 4-6 mils profile. After shot blasting the substrate should be clean and dry. There should be no visible rust prior to coating. Apply 4-6 mil coating of WBE2 with the anti-corrosive zinc additive. WBE2 or WBE2 glass filled and pigments may be applied 4-6mils after the first coat dries to the touch.
