APPLICATION
Methods of Application: Spray, roll or brush.
Apply using:
| – Low-pressure sprayer |
– Paint brush or roller |
| – Bristle broom |
– Squeegee |
Surface Preparation: Surface must be clean, free of surface efflorescence, paint, sealer, oil, adhesive, curing compound, form release agent and/or anything that will impede SOFIX CCC 100 penetration into the substrate.
Recommended cleaning methods include compressed air, pressure washing, scrubbing or other methods to remove surface dust, dirt or other contaminants.
Heavily contaminated areas must be cleaned using biodegradable concrete cleaners (CHEM-CRETE CONCLEAN CCC060, recommended) and a pressure washer to remove deeply penetrating contaminants.
SOFIX CCC 100 may be applied to damp surfaces free from standing water.
If installing resilient flooring, follow ASTM F710 (Standard Practice for Preparing Concrete Floors to Receive Resilient Flooring)
Coverage: Two coats required, 200 ft2 per gallon, per coat (4.91 m2 per liter, per coat). Excessively porous substrates may require additional material. Apply with an even, uniform spreading rate.
Limitations: Do not apply under the following conditions:
- Temperature below 40ºF (5°C)
Precautions: During application, do not allow product to come in contact with metal or glass. If contact occurs, immediately wash contacted area with water to prevent crystal formation.
Cleaning: Clean all equipment and tools with clean water immediately after use.
STORAGE
Two-year shelf life when stored in its original, unopened container, in a cool, dry place. Always agitate the product before using. DO NOT ALLOW PRODUCT TO FREEZE. Repeated freezing and thawing may cause damage to the product.
SAFETY
As with all construction chemical products, adequate precautions and care must be taken during usage and storage. Avoid direct contact with foodstuff, eyes, skin and mouth. Contacted areas should be washed thoroughly with clean running water and soap.
Always wear protective goggles and gloves. In case of eye contact, flush for fifteen minutes with warm water. If eye irritation persists, seek medical attention. In case of ingestion or swallowing, drink two glasses of clean water and seek medical attention. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
