Surface Preparation

• Concrete or screed substrate must have minimum strength of 25 N/mm²
• Surface must be free from laitance, dust, and contamination
• Substrate should be dry to 75% RH according to ASTM F2170 (AS1884:2012)
• Slab-on-ground concrete must have an effective damp proof membrane
• Surface must be free from rising damp

Mixing Instructions

1. Pre-mix Base A to redistribute any settlement.
2. Add all Hardener B into Base A.
3. Mix using a slow-speed drill with helical spinner head for 90 seconds.
4. Avoid entraining air during mixing.
5. Use complete pre-weighed packs for optimum performance.
6. If proportioning packs, use accurate digital scales.

Do not add solvents such as Xylene, MEK, or Acetone to Deckshield UV.

Application Instructions

• Refer to the appropriate Deckshield UV Technical Data Sheet for the selected specification.
• Apply using suitable roller application methods.
• Decant mixed material into smaller quantities when applying detailed areas.

Application Conditions

• Recommended material and substrate temperature: 15°C–35°C
• Minimum application temperature: 10°C
• Substrate temperature must remain 3°C above dew point
• Temperature should not fall below 5°C within 24 hours after application

Working Time / Pot Life

• Mixed product should be used within 20 minutes at 20°C
• Higher temperatures or leaving material in the bucket will reduce working time

Curing Times (at 20°C)

• Minimum overcoating time: 8 hours
• Maximum overcoating time: 24 hours
• Foot traffic: 24 hours
• Vehicular traffic: 72 hours
• Full chemical cure: 7 days

Full chemical resistance is achieved after approximately 5–7 days.

Cleaning

Tools and equipment can be cleaned with:

• MEK
• Acetone
• Xylene

Refer to SDS before using solvents.

Storage

• Shelf life: 12 months in unopened packs
• Storage temperature: 5°C–35°C
• Store indoors and protect from:
  
  - Frost
  - Weather
  - Moisture
  - Direct sunlight
  - Contamination ingress
  

Important Product Notes

• Do not cover or wash within the first 36 hours of curing.
• Applied colours may differ from examples shown.
• Applicators should verify colour accuracy before application.
• Light and vibrant colours may require additional coats.
• The system should have no contact with water for 5 days at 20°C.
• Install at least 3°C above dew point.
• Low temperature/high humidity conditions may cause blooming.
• Do not apply to substrates exceeding 35°C.

Important Note:
Always refer to the latest Deckshield UV Product Datasheet, Technical Data Sheet, and Safety Data Sheet for complete technical information, application requirements, limitations, and safety instructions before use.
