Priming
The substrate is to be primed by Vetoprime EP491prior to the application of Vetotop EL393.
Vetoprime EP491 should be mixed in the proportions supplied. Add the entire contents of the hardener can to the base can. When thoroughly mixed, preferably using a slow speed mixer, the primer should be applied in a thin, continuous film using rollers or stiff brushes.
Work the primer well into the surface of the concrete taking care to avoid ponding or over application. The primer should be left to achieve a tack-free condition before applying Vetoprime EP381.
After the drying of Vetoprime EP491, fix self-adhesive conductive tape over the primed surface.
Mix Vetoprime EP381 as per above mixing instructions of Vetoprime EP491. Apply Vetoprime EP381 at a rate of 8-10m2/liter in a single coat.
Earthing
Consult Saveto technical representative for proper installation procedure as per the established norms and guidelines for optimum connectivity and results.
Mixing
Vetotop EL383 is supplied in two pre-weighed packs (base and hardener) which are ready for immediate on-site use. Part mixing of these components is not acceptable and will affect both performance and appearance of the finished floor. Mixing should be carried out using either a forced action mixer; or a heavy duty mobile mixer fitted with a jiffy type mixing paddle. All such equipment should be of a type and
capacity approved by Saveto. The components should be mixed in a suitably sized mixing vessel. Stir the base and hardener components individually then empty them into the mixing vessel scrapping the edges and mix for 2 minutes. The contents of the filler pack should be slowly added and mixing carried out for a further 3 minutes until a completely homogeneous material is obtained.
Application
Ensure that there are sufficient labor and materials to make the mixing and subsequent application process a continuous one for any given, independent floor area. Once mixed, the material must be used within its specified pot life. The material should be poured onto the prepared and primed substrate as soon as mixing is complete. It should be spread to a thickness 1.5-2mm using a notched trowel or a gauged spreader; with care taken not to overwork the resin, spreading evenly and slowly. Immediately after laying, the material should be rolled, using a spiked nylon roller, to remove slight trowel marks, and to assist air release. The rolling should be carried out using a ‘back and forth’ technique along the same path. An overlap of 50% with adjacent paths is recommended. Further light rolling may be required to remove surface imperfections, or for subsequent release of trapped air, but should be prior to the setting of the product.
Cleaning
Vetoprime EP491, Vetoprime EP381, and Vetotop EL383 should be removed from tools and equipment with Vetonit Solvent XX400 immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
