Application Instructions

Surface Preparation

• Ensure concrete or screed substrates are structurally sound
• Substrate strength should be minimum 25 N/mm²
• Remove laitance, dust, oils, and surface contaminants
• Ensure substrate moisture requirements are met before application
• Concrete should be dry to approximately 75% RH according to ASTM F2170 and AS1884:2012
• Follow the relevant Flowcrete GP Resin Technical Data Sheet before installation

Mixing Instructions

1. Stir Base A thoroughly to redistribute any settlement.
2. Measure the required amount of Base A using accurate digital scales.
3. Add Hardener B completely into the Base A container.
4. Mix using a slow-speed drill with helical spinner head.
5. Mix for approximately 60 seconds while avoiding air entrapment.
6. Add filler materials as required according to the specific application system.

Application Method

• Apply Flowcrete GP Resin according to the relevant Flowcrete system specification.
• Combine with suitable fillers or auxiliary products depending on the required application.
• Use appropriate tools and installation methods for the selected system.
• Ensure correct mixing ratios are maintained for optimum performance.

Application Conditions

• Recommended material and substrate temperature: 15°C to 35°C
• Minimum application temperature: 10°C
• Substrate temperature must remain at least 3°C above dew point
• Temperatures should not fall below 5°C within 24 hours after application
• Avoid application during excessive humidity, strong airflow, or direct heat exposure

Working Time / Pot Life

• Mixed product should be used within approximately 20 minutes at 20°C
• Higher temperatures will reduce working time
• For small areas, decant mixed material into smaller containers where required

Curing Times (at 20°C)

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

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

Cleaning

• Clean tools and equipment immediately after use
• Recommended cleaning solvents:
  
  MEK
  Acetone
  Xylene
  
  
• Always refer to the SDS before using solvents

Storage Requirements

• Store indoors in unopened packaging
• Protect from frost, moisture, weather exposure, direct sunlight, and contamination
• Storage temperature should remain between 5°C and 35°C
• Shelf life is 12 months when stored correctly

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