IF 10 C

LOW VISCOSITY REPAIR SYSTEM AND RENOVATION COATING FOR APPLICATION TO POLYURETHANE FLOORS

DESCRIPTION

IF 10 C is a solvent free, low viscosity repair material which may also be used as a coating for application to polyurethane floors, such as CLI CRETE Rake and Trowel Grade Heavy Duty Polyurethane Screed. IF 10 C can be extensively used for applications where a thin coating is required to reduce texture or improve appearance and cleaning. IF 10 C is also suitable for application as a line marking paint on previously applied polyurethane floors, such as CLI Crete floor systems.

SURFACE PREPARATION

All substrates must be clean and free from dust and loose particles. All traces of contaminants, such as oils, fats, greases, paint residues, chemicals, algae and other barriers to adhesion should be removed. Good surface preparation is vital to ensure the successful application and performance of IF 10 C.

As IF 10 C is used on previously applied polyurethane floors appropriate surface preparation techniques will depend on the condition of the floor. If the floor is less than 48 hours old the IF 10 C can be applied directly after any dust and contamination is removed. Older floors will require surface grinding or abrasion with a coarse nylon pad in combination with a strong alkali detergent.

PRIMING

Pour the contents of Part A and Part B into a small mixing bucket and mix using a small helical mixing paddle and electric drill for 30 seconds or until uniform. The contents of Part C and Part D should then be introduced into the mixed resin and mix together for further 2 minutes to create one homogenous mix.

APPLICATION

The mixed material should be applied without delay to the prepared substrate using a brush, roller or rubber squeegee, depending on thickness and finish required. Roll in a scatter of Fine Aggregate to give a slip resistant texture if required.
If used to reduce the texture of an existing floor surface, care should be taken to ensure the application is uniform and leaves the appropriate finish intended. For repairs pour into cracks, topping up as necessary, or apply with a spatula for cracks up to 5 mm, isolated areas up to 10 mm wide.

For larger cracks / repairs mix in up to half volume of Fine Aggregate. Once cured overcoat with an application of neat IF 10 C.

LIMITATIONS

Only apply IF 10 C at temperatures above 5°C and where the atmospheric relative humidity (RH) is 90% or below. Do not apply when atmospheric condensation may occur before the IF 10 C is fully cured. The working life is approx. 8 minutes. Multiple units may be mixed but do not mix more material than can be applied within the 8 minutes working time. Attempting to use the IF 10 C more than 10 minutes after mixing will result in a patchy, variable finish.

CLEANING

IF 10 C can be removed from tools and equipment by using CLI Eco Sol 205 immediately after use. Any hardened material will need to be removed mechanically.

STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE

IF 10 C has a shelf life of 6 months if kept in a dry, store between 5ºC and 30ºC in the original unopened containers. The product should be protected from frost, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.

PRECAUTIONS

During mixing and application the following precautions should be observed: ensure adequate ventilation and avoid contact of the material with the eyes, nasal passages, mouth and unprotected skin. Avoid contact with the hands by wearing protective gloves and by using, if necessary, a suitable barrier cream. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice and after contact with the skin wash immediately with plenty of soap and water (do not use solvents). Prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided, especially where the user has an allergic reaction to resin-based materials. Always wear gloves and eye/face protection as necessary. Observe personal hygiene, particularly washing the hands after work has been completed or at any interruption whilst work is in progress. Care should be taken when removing gloves to avoid contaminating the insides. In case of accidents seek medical advice.

DISPOSAL/SPILLAGE

Spillage of any of the component products should be absorbed onto sand or other inert materials and transferred to a suitable disposable vessel. Disposal of such spillage or empty packaging should be in accordance with local waste disposal authority regulations.
