Sherwin-Williams Floorcoating Resucoat HB

Resucoat™ HB Profile is a 3-pack high solids, high-build epoxy resin system for application as a non-slip floor coating for light to medium industrial use at a thickness of 200 microns. The coating will provide a textured gloss coloured finish incorporating an anti-slip aggregate which is dispersed within the material during mixing. Applied by roller and paintbrush the product is low odour producing a seamless, hard wearing, hygienic floor finish.

Advantages

• High-build finish
• High solids
• Hygienic and easily cleaned
• Good colour stability
• Excellent slip resistance
• Excellent high gloss finish

Recommended Uses

• Food processing and beverage areas
• Chemical plant rooms
• Engineering workshops
• Automotive & aviation areas
• Factory units
• Warehouses
• Excellent for all demarcation and walkways

Preparation

New Concrete Floors:

New concrete must be clean, sound, dry, fully
cured and surface laitance removed by vacuum enclosed shot
blasting or mechanical grinding, a minimum strength of 25N/mm2 is required.

Existing Concrete Floors:

Remove all dirt, oil, grease, old paint or any other surface contaminants by vacuum enclosed shot blasting, scarifying or mechanical grinding. Fats, oils or greases must be removed by mechanical means and detergent washing and make sure all residue of detergent is washed and removed by rinsing with clean water. Local repairs should be carried out using Resuscreed PA.

Existing Floors (previously coated):

All previous coatings and loose floor paints must be removed by mechanical preparation as described in the above section and primed as specified. if the old resin flooring cannot be removed, then please consult with our technical team for advice on intercoat adhesion and suitability, as it may not be compatible with existing floor coating.
Where Resucoat HB Profile is applied to masonry/concrete surfaces, care must be taken to ensure that surface preparation is thorough but does not disfigure the surface.

Priming

Open and porous substrates may require priming with Resuseal WB, also Resuprime ST or Resucoat HB may be used as primer on the dry substrates only with less than 75% ERH reading.
Where the Relative Humidity of a substrate exceeds 75% ERH Resuprime MVT should be specified and selected on the basis of hygrometer readings in accordance with BS 8203. The number of coats to be applied is chosen in accordance with the following table.
ERH% Required Coating Thickness
75-85 1coat of RESUPRIME MVT at 200 microns per coat
85-92 2coats of RESUPRIME MVT at 200 microns per coat
92-97 3coats of RESUPRIME MVT at 200 microns per coat

Application

The ambient temperatures of the areas should not be allowed to fall below 15°C throughout the application and the curing period, as this could have an adverse effect on the appearance and colour of the system. Surface temperature must be above 10°C. Where possible it is recommended that the application area is heated to a minimum temperature of 15°C ideally to allow the ambient and substrate temperature to stabilise prior to installation.

Mixing: Pre-mix the coloured base component to a uniform consistency then mix the entire
