| | | COLOR Stontec ERF is available in 12 standard colors. Refer to the Stontec Color Sheet. Custom colors are available upon request. SUBSTRATE PREPARATION Proper preparation is critical to ensure an adequate bond. The substrate must be dry and free of all wax, grease, oils, fats, soil, loose or foreign materials and laitance. Laitance and unbonded cement particles must be removed by mechanical methods, i.e., abrasive blasting or scarifying. Other contaminants may be removed by scrubbing with a heavy-duty industrial detergent (Stonkleen DG9) and rinsing with clean water. The surface must show open pores throughout and have a sandpaper texture. For recommendations or additional information regarding substrate preparation, contact Stonhard's Technical Service Department. PRIMING The use of Standard Primer is necessary for most applications of Stontec ERF. The Standard Primer must be fully cured prior to application of the Undercoat. APPLICATION Application of the Stontec ERF system is accomplished as follows: 1. Standard Primer is mixed and then applied to the floor with a squeegee and a nap roller. The Stonshield aggregate is broadcast into the wet primer. Allow 8 hours to cure. 2. Stonshield Undercoat is mixed and then applied with a squeegee and rolled with a medium nap roller. 3. After 5 minutes, begin broadcasting colored flakes and continue until a complete and even layer is bound to the Undercoat. Let cure until the surface is tack-free. Sweep off excess flakes and prepare the area for application of Stonshield Sealer. 4. Apply the first sealer coat immediately after mixing. Stonshield Sealer is applied using a rubber squeegee and a medium nap roller. 5. After the first sealer coat has cured, sand the surface with a rotary sanding machine. Vacuum the floor and apply a second sealer coat in the same manner as the first. Refer to the Stontec ERF Directions for further detail. | | RECOMMENDATIONS • DO NOT attempt to install material if the temperature of Stontec ERF components and substrate are not within 60 to 85T/16 to 30°C. The cure time and application properties of the material will be severely affected. • DO NOT use water or steam in the vicinity of the application. Moisture can seriously affect the working time and other properties. • The use of NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators and safety glasses are recommended. • Avoid contact with all liquid Parts A and B as they may cause skin and/or eye irritation. Workmen should cover hands with rubber gloves. • Use only with adequate ventilation. NOTES • Procedures for maintenance of the flooring system during operations are described in the Stontec Cleaning Procedures. • Specific information regarding chemical resistance is available in the Stontec Chemical Resistance Guide. • Material Safety Data Sheets for Stontec ERF are available upon request. • A staff of technical service engineers is available to assist with installation, or to answer questions related to Stonhard flooring products. • Requests for technical service or literature can be made through local sales representatives and offices, or corporate offices located worldwide. | | |
