AES-200
Floor Coating
|
Storage &
Handling
|
| AES-200 is a high-solids
polyamide-epoxy resin. The formulation includes a long pot life as well
as flexible properties, which allows it to withstand
extreme abrasive conditions. AES-200 is a decorative and protective epoxy
coating especially developed for masonry surfaces. In addition, it may be applied to concrete,
terrazzo, cinder block, brick, stone, glass, wood,
metal, or asphalt. AES-200 is best suited for, but not limited to,
horizontal surfaces.
|
Application Areas
AES-200 is a protective coating for floors, stairs, tanks, decks, equipment, and much more.
AES-200 can be used where moist areas may prevent the use of other coatings. AES-200 is used in commercial, industrial, and
residential surroundings.
|
Resistance
AES-200 has excellent resistance to
various solvents, hydrocarbons, acids and alkalis, particularly food acids.
|
Preparation
To begin, the surface should be
etched to provide a profile or “tooth” for optimal
adhesion. Surfaces
must be cleaned free of grease, oil, wax, mastic
compounds, paint, waterproofing compounds, form release
materials, and all other contaminants prior to
application.
New concrete and masonry
should not be coated for at least 28 days to permit the
concrete or mortar to cure and dry out. Concrete should be visually inspected and tested
for moisture content before coating.
AES-200 will not develop optimum
adhesion to concrete unless Latinate and other loosely
bound material are first removed from the surface. Latent must be removed by abrading. Shot blasting, scarifying, grinding, sand blasting
or other abrasive mechanical means are recommended.
Acid etching is an option but not recommended
because of environmental concerns or accidental damage to
non-target areas.
For aged concrete, remove old
coatings and/or other materials previously applied.
Abrasive or mechanical means are recommended. Infiltration of oil, grease, gas, etc. into the
concrete will retard adhesion. Contaminated concrete must be sufficiently removed
or thoroughly cleaned with a cleaning agent appropriate
for the removal of petroleum-based products. After the surface cleansing, continue on with
directions for the new concrete application.
Metal must be free of mill
scale, rust, paint, oil, grease, oxides, etc. An abrasive type of preparation is recommended to
produce a profile for the AES-200 to adhere to.
Wood must be free of old
paint, varnish, mold, etc.
The preparation procedures above are
general guidelines. Detailed preparation methods are
available through SSPC at www.sspc.org
or 412-281-2331 or NACE at www.nace.org
or 281-228-6200.
|
Mixing
The mixing of parts A & B is
very important!
AES-200
has a mixing ratio of 3 parts “B” to 1 part “A”.
Use a power mixer to thoroughly combine both parts. Mix for a minimum of 5 minutes. Allow idle activation time for a minimum of 15
minutes. Lacquer
Thinner should only be added after the mixing process is
complete. For
general purposes, no more than 1.5 quart per 4 gallons of
solvent should be added to the mixture. |
Application
Brush, 3/8” nap roller cover,
squeegee, or airless spray equipment may be used to apply
AES-200. Surface
configuration, weather, or area surroundings will dictate
application method.

DO NOT apply the product
heavier than 100-sq. ft. per gallon per coat.
For a heavier dry film, apply necessary number of
coats. Use of thinner increases possibility
of sag and reduces dry film thickness. AES-200 may be applied to damp surfaces but it is
best to have a dry surface if possible. Allow AES-200 to become tack-free
before applying additional coats or approximately 6 hrs. Caution! Without
the use of aggregate in AES-200, the surface will be
slippery when wet!
|
|
General
AES-200 should be applied in
well-ventilated areas.
Surfaces should be free of foreign matter.
DO NOT apply near open flame.
|
Clean
Up
Application equipment should be
cleaned immediately with Lacquer Thinner. Use Apple Cider Vinegar to clean hands and skin.
Do
not allow AES-200 to remain on tools!
Once it sets and is cured, it is difficult to
remove.
|
Flammability
Flammable
during application. Will not support combustion when
cured.
