Consumption/Dosage

Coating System Product Consumption

Primer Chemfloor 141 0.15-0.40 Kg/m2
Coating with roller 2 x Chemfloor 241 0.15-0.3 Kg/m2 for each layer
Textured roller coating 1-2 x Chemfloor 241 +filler 0.4-0.8 Kg/m2 per layer
Textured roller coating with 10 pbw Chemfloor 241 + 0.5 0.8 Kg/m2
improved slip resistance filler 1 pbw quartz sand
(0.1 0.5 mm) 0.05 0.07 Kg/m2
These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface
profile, variations in level and wastage etc.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Substrate Quality The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient
compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm2) with a
minimum pull off strength of 1.5 N/mm2.
The substrate must be clean, dry and free of all
contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease, coatings and
surface treatments, etc.
If in doubt, apply a test area first.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Substrate Preparation Concrete substrate must be prepared mechanically
using abrasive blast cleaning or scarifying equipment
to remove cement laitance and achieve an open
textured surface.
Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects
such as blowholes and voids must be fully exposed.
Repairs to the substrate, filling of blowholes/voids and
surface leveling can be carried out using appropriate
products like SBR Latex and Chemdur 42.
The concrete or screed substrate has to be primed or
leveled in order to achieve an even surface.
High spots must be removed by e.g. grinding.
All dust, loose and friable material must be completely
removed from all surfaces before application of the
product, preferably by brush and /or vacuum.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Application Conditions/ Limitations
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Substrate Temperature +10C min. /35C max.
For Substrate temperature greater than 35C
please consult our technical department.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ambient Temperature +10C min. /35C max.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Substrate Moisture 4% pbw moisture content.
Content No rising moisture according to ASTM
(Polyethylene-sheet).
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Relative Air Humidity 80% r.h. max.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mixing (by weight) Part A: part B = 5:1
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mixing Time Prior to mixing, stir part A mechanically. When
all part B has been added to part A, mix
continuously for 2 minutes until a uniform mix
has been achieved.
To ensure thorough mixing pour materials into
another container and mix again to achieve a
consistent mix.
Over mixing must be avoided to minimize air
entrainment.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mixing Tools Chemfloor 241must be thoroughly mixed
using a low speed stirrer (300-400 rpm) or
other suitable equipment.

Application Method/Tools Prior to application, confirm substrate moisture
content, r.h. and dew point.
Leveling:
Rough surfaces need to be leveled first.
Coating:
Chemfloor 241 as coating, can be applied by
short-piled roller (crosswise).
Seal Coat:
Sealer coats can be applied by squeegee and
then back-rolled (crosswise) with a short-piled
roller.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Cleaning Tools Clean all tools and application equipment with
a thinner immediately after use.
Hardened and/or cured material can only be
removed mechanically.

Potlife Temperatures Time
+10C ~50 minutes
+20C ~25 minutes
+10C ~15 minutes
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Waiting Time/Over coating
Before applying Chemfloor 241 on Chemfloor 141

Substrate temperature Minimum Maximum

+10C 24 hours 3 days
+20C 12 hours 2 days
+30C 8 hours 1 day

Before applying second coat of Chemfloor 241allow:

Substrate temperature Minimum Maximum

+10C 30 hours 3 days
+20C 24 hours 2 days
+30C 16 hours 1 day

Times are approximate and will be affected by changing ambient

conditions particularly temperature and relative humidity.

____________________________________________________________________
Freshly applied Chemfloor 241must be protected from damp,
condensation and water for at least 24 hours.
Avoid puddles on the surface with the primer.
For areas with limited exposure and normally absorbent concrete
substrate priming with Chemfloor 141 is not necessary for roller
or textured coating systems.
For roller/textured coatings: uneven substrates as well as inclusions
of dirt cannot and should not be covered by thin sealer coats.
Therefore both substrate and adjacent areas must always be
prepared and cleaned thoroughly prior to application.
The incorrect assessment and treatment of cracks may lead to a
reduced service life and reflective cracking.
For exact colour matching, ensure the Chemfloor 241 in each area
is applied from the same control batch numbers.
If heating is required use only electric powered warm air blower
systems.

Cleaning /Maintenance
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Methods To maintain the appearance of the floor after
application Chemfloor 241 must have all spillages
removed immediately and must be regularly cleaned
using rotary brush, mechanical scrubbers, scrubber
dryer, high pressure washer, wash and vacuum
techniques etc. using suitable detergents and waxes.
