Freezer Floor Repair

CAUTION:
Product consists of part A (epoxy), part B (amines) and part C (silica). WARNING: Incompatibility and health hazards exist. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents, lewis acids, mineral acids and epoxy/amines in uncontrolled amounts.

FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Fight fires with foam, CO2, dry chemical or water fog. Use a self-contained breathing apparatus when fighting the fire. Hazardous decomposition products can be CO2, acids, NOX, CO and aldehydes.

HEALTH HAZARDS: This product contains substances that may be harmful to skin, eyes, lungs, and respiratory system. Liquids are skin irritant and may cause sensitization or other allergic responses. Acute exposure to vapors may cause irritation to nose, throat, mucous membranes, or other medical conditions such as nausea or dizziness. Part C contains silica which can cause lung injury (silicosis). Silicosis can be progressive, disabling and sometimes fatal. Liquids can cause burns to the eyes. Part A contains a monomer that has shown limited evidence of mutagenicity (in vitro).

FIRST AID: If large amounts of vapor or silica are inhaled, remove person to a fresh air area and administer oxygen if necessary. Consult a physician if conditions warrant. If material is ingested, refer to the individual component labels or review the appropriate MSDS for proper procedure. Consult with a physician immediately. If product comes in contact with the skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If any skin irritation persists after exposure, consult with a physician. If material comes in contact with the eyes, flush them with water for at least 15 minutes while opening and closing the eyelids. Consult with a physician.

NOTICE TO BUYER: Read the MSDS for all components prior to using this material. Obtain and read our technical data as it contains our warranty and limitations of our liability. For industrial use only. For professional use only. Keep out of the reach of children. Apply without thinning. This product contains a maximum VOC of zero grams per liter.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES: Properly prepare the surface and remove all contaminants. Make sure the floor is dry. Store material at normal room temperature (55-70 degrees F) prior to using. Be prepared to work in a fast and organized manner as this product will set up in a very short period of time. After the liquids are mixed and the aggregate is added, the working time should be between 2 and 5 minutes. First, take the material into the cold storage area where it is to be applied. Then mix the Part A and Part B together as quickly as possible. Next, add in the provided aggregate immediately. Mix the material to a mortar consistency as quickly as possible. Finally, apply the mixed material by trowel or other suitable equipment immediately and quickly. Material can be applied with temperatures as low as -10F.

STORAGE AND HANDLING: Avoid prolonged exposure and contact with material. Wear appropriate gloves, safety glasses and a NIOSH approved respirator for both organic vapors as well as particulates. Do not get material in eyes or on the skin. Do not ingest material or breathe fumes, vapor or dust generated by the silica. Provide for adequate ventilation during application and immediately after material is applied. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash before reusing. Store product in tightly sealed containers. Reseal all partially used containers. Label all containers correctly. Follow the label warnings even when the container is empty. Dispose of empty containers and unused material according to all local, state and federal laws. If leather articles become contaminated, they should be discarded.

FREEZER PATCH INSTRUCTIONS (NP128)

PRODUCT STORAGE: Store product in an area so as to bring the material to normal room temperature before using. Continuous storage should be above 55°F to prevent product crystallization.

SURFACE PREPARATION: All dirt, oil, dust, foreign contaminants and laitance must be removed to assure a trouble free bond to the substrate. We recommend that an aggressive shot blast be performed prior to the application of this product. A less adequate method would be acid etching, but the etch should properly profile the substrate. All edges and around columns or beams should be mechanically scarified. All termination points should not be feather edged, but should be saw cut with the termination ending at the saw cut. All large cracks should be V cut and filled with an appropriate crack filler. All expansion joints should be filled with an appropriate joint filler. When overlaying an expansion joint, a single saw cut through the epoxy overlay will prevent random fracturing. A test should be made to determine that the concrete is dry; (when the surface temperature is above 32 degrees F) this can be done by placing a 4’X4’ plastic sheet on the substrate and taping down the edges. If after 24 hours, the substrate is still dry below the plastic sheet, then the substrate is dry enough to start coating. The plastic sheet testing is also a good method to determine if any hydrostatic pressure problems exist that may later cause disbonding. In any event, the surface must be dry.

PRIMER: No primer is necessary. This material is self priming.

PRODUCT MIXING: It is important that the liquids be mixed together first. Have the liquids at normal room (70 degrees) temperature and then take them into the area where the repair is to be made. CAUTION! This material has a very, very short pot life; be prepared to work efficiently and in an organized manner. Mix the liquids in an oversized container quickly and thoroughly until streak free. After the liquids are mixed, add in the aggregate immediately. Mix in the aggregate with slow speed mixing equipment such as a jiffy mixer (quickly). No induction time is necessary. Mix only an amount of material that can be used in the prescribed pot life period.

PRODUCT APPLICATION: Immediately after mixing, apply the mixed material at 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness. Apply the material with a hand trowel or other suitable application equipment. Do not over-trowel the material as this may cause isolated blisters to form. Direct air currents above or across the mortar during the curing process may cause isolated blisters. Maintain temperatures within the recommended ranges during the application and curing process.

RECOAT OR TOPCOATING: No recoating or top coating is necessary. However, if you opt to topcoat the applied mortar, allow it to cure before top coating. Many epoxies and urethanes can be used at elevated temperatures.

CLEANUP: Use xylol

FLOOR CLEANING: Caution! Some cleaners may affect the color of the floor installed. Test each cleaner in a small area, utilizing your cleaning technique. If no ill effects are noted, you can continue to clean with the product and process tested.

RESTRICTIONS: Restrict the use of the floor to light traffic and non-harsh chemicals until the coating is fully cured (see technical data under full cure). It is best to let the floor remain dry for the full cure cycle.
