Epoxy Floor Coating Transparent – Manadatec B471

Application
B471 is a solvent-free, coloured or transparent floor sealer based on epoxy resin. It is applied to mineral, cementitious concrete or screed surfaces. The product is ideally suited for sealing garage, workshop or basement areas, as well as other utility surfaces. As a premium epoxy coating, once fully cured B471 is chemically resistant to common cleaning agents as well as diluted acids and alkalis. B471 is generally intended for interior use only. If unsure, please carry out a test area beforehand.

Storage
Store closed between 6 °C and 20 °C. For storage longer than 10–14 days, please stir component A regularly!

Preparation
The substrate must be dry, solid, oil-free, rough and absorbent! Cleanliness is essential! Oily areas must be cleaned beforehand. For new floors, the substrate must be completely dry (residual moisture below 3%). An existing 2-K coating does not need to be removed but must be roughened. Loose parts and flaking old paint must be removed.

Mixing
Pour component B completely into component A and mix with a slow-running mixer for at least 2 minutes. Then decant the product and mix again to avoid mixing errors. When mixing partial quantities, stir component A well beforehand and weigh both components accurately. If the product is difficult to roll, or when priming low-absorbent substrates, B471 may be diluted by up to 3%. Suitable are universal thinners or special epoxy thinners.

Application
Apply B471 with a non-linting, short-pile roller. Do not pour the material directly onto the floor; roll from the bucket. We recommend at least a two-coat sealing process. Working time is approx. 30 minutes (at 20 °C). At temperatures above 20 °C, pot life decreases. The end of the working time is clearly indicated by a rise in viscosity. With a two-coat sealing, priming can be omitted depending on the substrate.

Application notes:
We recommend preliminary trials to verify suitability for the specific application. Use the system only within the optimal application temperature range. Ambient relative humidity must not exceed 70%. Shake or stir thoroughly before use. Observing the safety instructions, weigh resin and hardener into a suitable mixing vessel (e.g., PP). Deviations from the mixing ratio result in incomplete curing and impaired properties. Mix thoroughly with a propeller mixer, including the edge zones. Decant and mix again to avoid mixing errors. After complete homogenization, optional additives, dry fillers and colour pigments can be stirred in. Larger batch sizes (>10 kg) and higher temperatures (>20 °C) shorten working time. Batches heating above 40 °C in the mixing vessel should not be used further, as curing with property losses may occur.

Tool cleaning:
Uncured product residues can be removed from tools with acetone. After washing with solvent, allow tools to vent thoroughly to avoid introducing cleaner into subsequent mixes. Cured material can only be removed mechanically, e.g., by grinding.

Storage:
Remove product residues from the screw cap. Do not mix up lids. Reseal opened containers tightly. Store cool and dry. Shelf life under optimal storage is 1/2 year, provided component A is stirred every 10–14 days so that fillers do not settle on the bottom.

Disposal:
Do not allow to enter drains, watercourses or soil. Uncured product residues are hazardous waste. The cured system is construction waste/household waste.
