Step by step

SURFACE PREPARATION

The surface must be structurally sound and free of oil and grease, dust and other contaminants which will affect the bonding.Any structural cracks or potholes shall be repaired with a suitable repair mortar from the Polycrete* range of repair mortars. Light mechanical grinding or high pressure water jet cleaning of the concrete surface can be done to remove any contaminants from the surface. The surface to be treated should be presaturated with water prior to application. However, remove any standing water from the concrete surface just before applying the coating.

MIXING

Polyflex Combo is supplied in two pre measured parts which just requires on site mixing. Do not mix more material than that can be used within the pot life. Part mixing can be carried out by mixing only exact half the quantity supplied on both components. Pour the liquid (2 cans) into a suitable container and slowly add the powder to the liquid. Mix the contents using a slow speed drill (300- 400rpm) fitted to a proprietary paddle mixer until a lump free creamy consistency is obtained. DO NOT ADD WATER TO DILUTE THE MATERIAL AT ANY STAGE

APPLICATION

It is recommended to apply Polyflex Combo in two coats to provide a minimum thickness of 2mm. Each coat shall be applied @1.4 kg/m2 which will give a dry film thickness of 1mm. The coating can be applied with a stiff brush or an airless spray of nozzle size of 3-4mm and a pressure of 6-7 bars. After the application of the first coat and whilst it is still wet, embed a CL 252 mesh in all the corners and other joints for added reinforcement. The second coat shall be applied after the first coat dries. for protection against carbonation and alkali attacks, the coating can be applied in minimum 1mm thickness.

CURING

The coating shall be cured immediately after it dries by wet hessian cloth or mist spraying for a minimum period of 72 hours. The coating will achieve its full mechanical properties within 7 days at 25°C & 50% RH.

CLEANING

Clean all tools immediately with water after use.Hardened materials can be removed mechanically only.
