About the product
Product Overview
W-80 consist of a high viscosity, nonylphenol-free, epoxy resin (E2W) and a thickened, cycloaliphatic amine reactant (H3). This combination achieves a rheology that makes it easy to spread but also fast to return to its resting state.
Uses
W-80 is most often used to coat vertical substrates that require a high-build, high-performance, material that will not run or sag. It can also be used as a pigmented grout coat on aggregate-filled mortar on coving and as a base and saturant coat for imbedding fiberglass and carbon-fiber sheeting.
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

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. Make sure to scrape any unmixed material off the sides of the mix vessel. Take care not to introduce excessive air during mixing. Pour mixed content into a large rolling pan, if rolling vertically, and roll with a 9″ wide, 5/8″ nap roller cover. If using as a floor coating or grout-coat, pour material onto the floor and squeegee, making sure to apply even pressure so as to force material into the pores and cavities. Backroll as needed to even out application. Recoat within 24 hours. Clean tools with a solvent similar to Xylene or Acetone.
