Application Instructions

Substrate Quality/Pre-Treatment
Concrete Substrates: The substrate must be dry and clean from any dust or laitance. Roughen the surface with sandpaper or wire brush, then clean the surface properly before applying the coating. Water cleaning is not permissible. Use a concrete pore-filling system such as EP 21 P before application of Meta Kote 16P. For old concrete substrates, use a primer coat as recommended. For damp substrates or whenever moisture ingress is expected, use AT 107 as a moisture barrier.
Metal Substrates:

The substrate must be dry and clean from any rust or existing coatings. Roughen the surface with sandpaper or wire brush, then clean the surface properly before applying the coating. For existing metal substrates, use a primer coat as recommended.
Mixing
Meta Kote 16P is supplied in two parts. Mix parts A & B for 3 minutes with a low-speed (250-300 rpm) mechanical stirrer. Mix until the material becomes homogeneous without generating air bubbles.
Application
After mixing, apply by roller or brush on the prepared surface in 1 or 2 coats as per the system. Before application, clean the roller or brush from loose fibers by rolling on adhesive tape.
