160–266 ft² / US gal (3.9–6.5 m² / L) at 6–10 mils (0.15–0.25 mm) wet film thickness (w.f.t.).

Mixing Ratio - 2 : 1 by volume.
For bulk packaging, when not mixing full units, each component must be pre-mixed separately to ensure product uniformity.

Primer and Intermediate:
Premix each component separately. Empty Component B (Hardener) in the correct mix ratio into Component A (Resin). Mix the combined components for at least 3 minutes using a low speed drill (300–450 rpm) and Exomixer or Jiffy type paddle suited to the volume of the mixing container to minimize entrapped air. Be careful not to introduce any air bubbles while mixing. Make sure the contents are completely mixed to avoid any weak or partially cured spots in the coating. During the mixing operation, scrape down the sides and bottom of the container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing.

Do not mix more material than can be applied within the working time limits (i.e. Pot Life) at the actual field temperature.

Apply primer by squeegee at the rate of 160–266 ft² / US gal (3.4 – 6.5 m² / L) at 6–10 mils (0.15–0.25 mm) wet film thickness (w.f.t.) and back roll. Coverage will vary depending on the porosity of the prepared floor. Product has a limited Pot Life, see Typical Data. Do not apply by dipping roller into mixing container. Pour a bead of product in the form of a ribbon on the surface to be coated, then spread with squeegee and back roll. Ensure that the coating is pore-free and pinhole-free and provides uniform and complete coverage over the entire concrete substrate. If necessary, apply an additional coat to ensure the coating is pore-free and pinhole-free and provides uniform and complete coverage over the entire concrete substrate.
