100% Solids EpoxyPRODUCT: A liquid modified 100% solids epoxy coating. DESCRIPTION: Griggs 100% Epoxy Coating is a two-component epoxy coating that contains an extremely high solids content. When fully cured, it forms an extremely tough, glossy, blush-free film that exhibits excellent impact and abrasion resistance. The cured film is unaffected by grease, oil, gasoline, detergents, and most solvents. This epoxy coating is formulated to cure in the presence of moisture. Griggs 100% Epoxy Coating can be applied at any mil thickness in a single application due to its high solids content. This coating may be made into a non-skid film by the addition of silica sand or any desired aggregate. MAJOR USES: Griggs 100% solids Epoxy Coating can be used for flooring and surfacing, patching compounds and seamless floors in garages carports,factories, warehouses and industrial facilities. It also has been used as an adhesive, potting and encapsulation casting, hand lay-up laminating and bonding new to old concrete. PROPERTIES:
SOLIDS(Weight)..................100%
TENSIL STRENGTH.................9500-10000 PSI
TENSIL ELONGATION...............6-7
COLORS..........................FULL RANGE, Including clear
POT LIFE(77 degrees F)..........35-45 Mins.*
TACK FREE.......................7 Hours*
RECOAT..........................Overnight*
LIGHT SERVICE...................24 Hours*
FULL SERVICE....................5 Days*
* Higher temperatures will accelerate dry times and decrease pot life, lower temperatures will lengthen cure times and slightly increase pot life. SURFACE PREPARATION: Surface to be coated must be clean,structurally sound and free of all foreign contaminants including dirt, wax, loose paint or curing compounds. Surface may be damp, but standing water must be removed. Concrete should be sandblasted, vacuum blasted or acid etched. If an acid etch is performed, surface must be rinsed and neutralized with a solution of ammonia and water. Mix 1 pint household ammonia to 5 gallons water and scrub surface immediately after water rinse. If recoating an epoxy surface is desired, and coating has cured more than 24 hours at 77 degrees F or cannot be indented with a fingernail, a light sanding with 60-80 grit sandpaper is required for proper adhesion of the new coat. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: This material is 100% solids with high viscosity. Mix only that amount of material that can be used in a 45 minute work period at 77 degrees F. Work times are shortened by higher temperatures. For longer pot life(work life) pour mixed material on floor immediately after mixing. Mix 3 Parts A to 1 Part B by volume. Always carefully measure the amounts and mix for 2 full minutes using a wooden stir stick, scraping the bottom and sides of the mixing vessel. Thorough mixing of the material is very important for obtaining a properly cured film. APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS: Griggs 100% SOLIDS EPOXY COATING can be applied by brush, roller, squeegee or notched trowel. It is normally applied as received. For application of high build protective coatings to concrete, normal spread rate is 200-300 square feet per gallon. At this spread rate, a dry film thickness of 6-8 mils and a uniform glossy film will be achieved. Application is most easily achieved by pouring the admixed material on the floor, brush trimming the edges and seams and spreading the material with a short nap or carpet roller. Backroll sufficiently to insure a good even distribution of the coating. If a non-slip surface is desired, walk back onto the uncured coating wearing golf shoes and sprinkle silica sand from a shaker can into the coating and roll it in with a short nap or carpet roller. PRECAUTIONS:USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. USE WITH PROPER DUAL CARTRIDGE RESPIRATOR WITH GREEN BAND CARTRIDGE TO PROTECT AGAINST METHYL AMINE VAPORS. AVOID SKIN CONTACT, WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES. DO NOT BREATHE VAPORS. READ MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET BEFORE USING THIS COATING.

Hydropox #2 4:1 Water Base Epoxy***PLEASE SEE NOTE ON FREE PRODUCT SAMPLE***DESCRIPTION: A two component water base epoxy amine coating that provides excellent adhesion, solvent resistance and abrasion resistance with water clean up. Hydropox #2 provides a film that is comparable with many solvent base systems. It has excellent adhesion to many substrates such as aluminum, cold rolled steel, glass, concrete, masonry, plastics, tile, aged alkyd and epoxy films. Hydropox #2 exhibits less odor than acrylic latex paint and can be applied electrostatically. Hydropox #2 can also be used as an Anti-Graffiti coating. Since it is highly resistant to many solvents after cured, the ordinary paints, such as aerosol paints, can be wiped off without damaging the existing gloss, color or film, even if rubbed. Hydropox #2 is a true epoxy system and will exhibit properties of solvent based systems. Always mix at a ratio of 4:1 by volume. PROPERTIES:

*(All pot life and dry times will be affected by temperatures.) TYPICAL USES: Garage FloorsAirport Hangar FloorsFactory FloorsWarehouse FloorsClean Room FloorsCHARACTERISTICS:Water Clean-upExcellent AdhesionLow V.O.C. ContentChemical Resistant***FREE PINT SAMPLE KITS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST***APPLICATION & REDUCTION: Hydropox #2 4:1 can be applied bybrush, roller or spray. Thin with tap water as required for application and operator preference. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: Premix both parts thoroughly before combining. Add 4 parts Component B to 1 part Component A by volume. Thoroughly mix then add tap water as required. Normally, due to this coating's high solids content, 1/2 gallon to 3/4 gallon of water is required to thin paint to a satisfactory rolling, spraying or brushing consistency. If paint does not flow smoothly when applying, add more water until a smooth flow is accomplished. If improved gloss and flow is desired, add Acetone as needed not exceeding 8 ounces per kit. SURFACE PREPARATION: Surface to be coated must be clean, structurally sound and free of all foreign contaminants including dirt, wax, loose paint or curing compounds.Surface may be damp, but standing water must be removed. Concrete should be sandblasted, vacuum blasted or acid etched. If an acid etch is performed, surface must be rinsed and neutralized with a solution of ammonia and water. Mix 1 pint household ammonia to 5 gallons water and scrub surface immediately after water rinse. If recoating an epoxy surface is desired, and coating has cured more than 24 hours at 77 degrees F or cannot be indented with a fingernail, a light sanding with 60-80 grit sandpaper is required for proper adhesion of the new coat. PRECAUTIONS: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES. READ MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET BEFORE USING.
