About the product
Product Overview
F-01 combines our building block, nonylphenol-free, epoxy resin (E1) with our robust modified cycloaliphatic amine reactant (H1). This combination achieves a remarkable workhorse resin that has good chemical, abrasion and impact resistance. It’s low odor and low viscosity make it perfect for decorative flooring projects as well as industrial applications.
Uses
F-01 is most often used as a broadcast resin and topcoat for resinous concrete flooring projects but it also performs well as a slower curing clear primer, a stand alone concrete sealer and as a slower setting patching material when combined with PN 1324 or PN1329 aggregate.
Preparation
The coating installer should fully read and understand ICRI310.2R-2013 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153 before starting preparatory work. The aim, of preparing a substrate for coating applications, is to roughen the surface, remove weak layers, contaminants, dirt, debris and present a solid, clean, dry substrate for the primer. If unsure as to the level of preparation needed contact Polymer Nation at techservice@polymernation.com

It is always preferred to mix the entire kit, whenever possible, to avoid off-ratio mixtures
Ideal Application Temperatures
60F-90F
Verify that substrate temperature is above 5 degrees of dewpoint during application and cure of material to avoid a potential amine blush
Mixed Viscosity in cP@25C/77F
350-500
Warmer temperatures will reduce viscosity and lower temperatures will increase viscosity
Gel Time
45/30/15 min.
Warmer temperatures will decrease gel time and lower temperatures will increase gel time
Dry to Touch
4/3/2 Hours
Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time
Through Dry
10/7/5 Hours
Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time
Dry to Walk
12/8/6 Hours
Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time
Dry to Lightly Use
12/16/12 Hours
Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time
Full Cure
7 Days
Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time
Shore Hardness at 24 Hours
D65
Warmer temperatures will increase hardness
Shore Hardness at 7 Days
D78
Warmer temperatures will shorten time to reach full hardness
Gloss @ 60 Degree Angle
90+
Applying material close to dew point will decrease gloss and may result in an amine blush

Storage
60F-90F
Store material between 60-90 degrees F in a protected dry location.
Odor
Subtle
Measuring odor offensiveness is difficult so experience with chemicals has been consulted here
Application Thickness in Mils
As a primer 8-12. As a body coat 12-20. As a slurry coat 100-125. As a topcoat 10-16

Mixing & Installation
Combine all of part A and B into a single container, large enough to accept the entire kit. Mix at 350 RPM for 2-3 minutes using an appropriate mixing blade and making sure not to introduce excessive air into the solution. Pour the entire content from the container onto the floor and follow normal squeegee and back roll techniques. To make an epoxy patching material mix no more material than can be mixed and applied within the stated Gel time and add the selected aggregate until the desired thickness is achieved. Recoat within 24 hours. Clean tools with a solvent similar to Xylene or Acetone.
