Surface preparation

Ensure that the surface has been primed with HYCHEM 100 as detailed in the HYCHEM 100 product data sheet.

Mixing
  • Empty contents of Part A (Base Resin) into Part B (Hardener)
  • Mix with a mechanical stirrer fitted to a drill until fully blended
  • Add up to 15% water to thin coating a little
  • Do not mix more than can be used within 1 hour
Applying
  • HYCHEM PU100 can be applied by roller or airless spray. Two coats of HYCHEM PU100 are recommended, however one coat may be used on a pre-primed surface where cost pressures are the dominant issue and only light traffic is anticipated.

Note: HYCHEM PU100 trapped in holes will not cure and must be removed by brush or air blowing.

  • HYCHEM PU100 must not be applied at a spread rate of more than 6 sqm/litre as improper cure and gas release can affect the coating. This means that the product cannot be used to seal a broadcast, coarse antislip coating. For antislip use only fine aggregate no larger than 80 microns.
