Hychem SF32 — Heavy duty general purpose solventless epoxy coating

• Concrete substrate shall be firm, clean and dry with a compressive strength of 25 MPa and surface tensile strength of 1.5 MPa minimum.
• New concrete must be allowed to cure for a minimum of 28 days.
• Repair imperfections (holes and cracks) with an epoxy patching compound such as HYCHEM GP where necessary.
• Remove surface laitance, contaminants, coating, curing compound and all weak and loose materials.
• Prepare concrete surface by Diamond Grinding or light Shot

Blasting to provide the appropriate surface profile for optimum mechanical keying.

• Priming is only required for highly porous surfaces requiring substrate consolidation. When necessary, apply HYCHEM E100 by roller at a rate of 5 to 6 sqm/litre.

Mix only enough quantity that can be applied within the work life which is temperature dependent.

• When required mix colour pack into resin component and blend before adding hardener. Move the mixer around from side to side and top to bottom and scrap the sides of the mixing vessel to ensure thorough mixing. Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes.

• Apply Hychem E 100 Primer (where necessary) using a medium nap roller at a coverage rate of 4-6 sqm per litre depending on the coarseness of the surface. Allow to become tack free before applying HYCHEM SF32.
• Apply first coat of Hychem SF32 using a medium nap roller at a coverage rate of 4 to 6 sqm. Allow to cure to a tack free finish.
• Apply second coat of Hychem SF32 at a coverage rate of approximately 4-6 sqm per litre. Allow to cure for a minimum of 24 hours before subjecting to traffic and 3 days before normal use.

• Apply as above. Broadcast grit aggregate (size to suit anti-slip requirement) into the first coat while it is still wet and allow to cure overnight.
• Sweep off loose quartz aggregate.
• Apply second coat of HYCHEM SF32 to seal the surface.

Slip Resistance is dependent on the size (grading) of aggregates used:

• 80 mesh Alumina – R 11
• 36 mesh Alumina – R 12
• 24 mesh Alumina – R 13

Xylene can be used for cleaning tools and equipment before the mixed compound begins to harden.

HYCHEM SF32 is available as a 6 litre and a 24 litre kit. It is normally supplied as a 3 component kit of resin, colour pack and hardener.

It can also be supplied as a premixed coloured resin for larger preordered jobs.
