F-41

F-41 Clear UV Resistant Epoxy Floor Coating

F-41

Product Overview

F-41 consist of a low viscosity, nonylphenol-free, clear, UV resistant epoxy resin (E5) with our UV resistant, cycloaliphatic amine reactant (H4). This combination achieves a UV resistant, clear epoxy with good flow and leveling, characteristics. The cured material has good broad-range chemical resistance as well as good abrasion and impact resistance.

Uses

 F-41 is most often used as a clear topcoat for resinous concrete flooring projects that may experience higher UV exposure than is found in most interior environments.

Preparation

The preparation method for each project is determined by a full understanding of the substrate to be coated, the chemistry of the coating system being used, the coating system thickness, and numerous other factors. The coating installer should fully read and understand ICRI Guideline NO.03732 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 Lab@polymerNation.com.

The data below represents the most pertinent information needed by a professional installer to understand and efficiently install this material. The data was gathered at temperatures of 72-75 F and 30-50% RH. A wide array of independent and company test data has been compiled on this product but is too large to place on this Technical Data Sheet.

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. Recoat within 24 hours. Clean tools with a solvent similar to Xylene or Acetone.
