APPLICATION NOTES ArmorPoxy’s ArmorPower Epoxy Coating Kit should be applied between 50-90°F and when relative humidity is 80% or less. If cooler, add portable electric (not kerosene) heaters to the area to keep air temperatures higher. Material should be stored in a dry area at temperatures between 50-90°F. Do not store in warm/hot areas prior to use, as cooler material has a longer working time. Material must be above 60°F for installation. Install in areas with proper ventilation.
EPOXY KIT CONTENTS INSTALLATION CHART 3
BEFORE YOU START ● ● ● ● SUPPLIES You need to supply the following items: standard 9” roller frame, painting extension pole, and power drill as these items are not included in the kit. Other suggested items are measuring cups, roller tray (for the topcoat), a plastic or cloth drop cloth to mix on and xylene or similar cleaner and rags for cleaning hands or drips. ETCH ArmorPoxy’s Etch is a mild, powdered citric-based cleaning agent.
PRODUCT APPLICATION STEPS 1. REMOVE FOREIGN SUBSTANCES Remove foreign substances. Scrape off any surface debris such as putty, paint, oil or dirt so that the surface is smooth and even. Use running water from a hose with nozzle, or a pressure washer to flush the entire area to remove any loose dirt and debris from the surface. For oil stained areas, use an oil degreaser to help clean the area before proceeding. ℹ️Hint.
sanding can be done with an electric sander/buffer with a medium abrasive pad, or it can be accomplished by hand sanding the areas with medium grit oxide type sandpaper. Please note that standard wood sandpaper or tools do not work properly on concrete. You can also re-etch these areas with acid etch at a higher concentration to achieve desired results. ℹ️Hint: When sanding by hand, use a drywall sanding pad and extension pole to simplify the process. 2.
(1 x 2 gallon Part A + 1 x 1 gallon Part B). Please note that the inner jugs are not filled to the top on purpose, however they do contain the correct amount of epoxy. This packaging allows for safe shipment of the materials. We do not recommend mixing all 2 gallons of Part A with the 1 Gallon of Part B at the same time as it will pre harden, and this is not covered under warranty. Please keep in mind the working time once mixed is approximately 15-25 minutes. 5a.
no residual un-mixed product remains on sides or bottom. Unmixed material will not harden and could result in needing repairs after application. 6. PRODUCT APPLICATION ArmorPoxy may be installed as a solid color or with decorative flakes to provide an attractive, terrazzo-like finish. The clear coat (if used) provides additional significant durability and shine. 6a. Option 1 - Solid Color Application Use the small disposable paint brush to coat edges, corners, and any hard to reach areas.
ℹ️Hint: Don’t worry if some of the chips get onto the unpainted part, or if you don’t leave an overlap edge for the next section. You can just paint over any stray chips and they will become ingrained in the epoxy. 3. Continue this process until the area is completed with a uniform appearance. Make sure to note how many chips you have for the project and apportion them properly so you don’t run short at the end of the project.
We recommend waiting overnight between coats of primer (optional), epoxy, and topcoats. Coverage: When applied to a smooth/dry surface, coverage is approximately 600 sq.ft per 3 gallon kit or 300 sq.ft. per 1.5 gallon kit. Coverage calculated @ 8.3 mils thickness. This is equivalent to 4 layers of standard floor paint. Topcoating adds an additional layer of protection and thickness. 10.
● To test for moisture before you coat, use duct tape to tape down a sheet of 4’ x 4’ clear plastic. Tape down all 4 sides completely. Wait 24 hours. Check for moisture buildup under the plastic. If moisture builds up then moisture is present in the floor. Contact ArmorPoxy immediately for next steps before applying new coatings. Can I apply multiple coats of ArmorPoxy over a period of time? ● Yes, no special surface prep is required if the additional coats are applied within 3-5 days.
