Because resurfacers are notflexible, joints that might move should be h<strong>on</strong>ored (cut) afterthe installati<strong>on</strong> and filled with an appropriate material.Depending <strong>on</strong> the preference of the facility owner, joints mayor may not be filled. If the joints are filled, n<strong>on</strong>-moving joints,i.e. c<strong>on</strong>tracti<strong>on</strong> or c<strong>on</strong>trol joints, can be hard filled withthickened, 100% solids epoxy or with a semi-rigid joint fillersuch as Eco-PJS or Eco-EJF. C<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> joints lessthan <strong>on</strong>e inch wide may also be filled withEco-PJS. Isolati<strong>on</strong> or expansi<strong>on</strong> joints must be filled with aflexible material designed for this purpose. <str<strong>on</strong>g>Coating</str<strong>on</strong>g> appliedover filled joints will crack if there is c<strong>on</strong>crete movement.APPLICATION - PRIMEREco-PT 250 is applied over Eco-MPE primer that is still wetor sticky--within 4 hours. It is critical that all c<strong>on</strong>crete iscovered to ensure proper adhesi<strong>on</strong> of the overlay. (See Eco-MPE Product Bulletin for applicati<strong>on</strong> instructi<strong>on</strong>s.)NOTE: The kits come with enough Eco-MPE to prime at180-220 sq. ft. per gall<strong>on</strong> (4.4-5.4 m 2 per litre) for ¼”(6.35 mm) Eco-PT 250 applicati<strong>on</strong>s. If Eco-PT 250 is beingput down at 3/16" (4.76 mm) and/or the floor is extremelyporous or rough, additi<strong>on</strong>al primer will be needed.APPLICATION - OVERLAYCOVERAGE RATE will depend up<strong>on</strong> thickness. A three bagmix of Eco-PT 250 will nominally cover (finished floor):56 ft 2 (5.2 m 2 ) @ 1/4" (6.35 mm)70 ft 2 (6.5 m 2 ) @ 3/16" (4.76 mm)COLORS: Premix Tennant Colorant before adding toEco-PT 250 to ensure uniform color. Add colorant toEco-PT 250 Part A and mix using a Jiffy® mixer blade andslow speed drill.POUR PART C into the mortar mixer. Begin mixing.ADD PART B (1 qt / (0.95 litres) TO PART A (1.25 gal /4.73 litres). POTLIFE: Mix <strong>on</strong>ly enough material which canbe screeded and troweled in a 15 minute period.MIX FOR 1 MINUTE or until thoroughly mixed using theJiffy® mixer blade and slow speed drill.POUR THE MIXED PARTS A&B into the mortar mixer. Mixuntil uniform (approximately <strong>on</strong>e minute). The resin needs to<strong>on</strong>ly wet out the sand.POUR THE MIXED MATERIAL into the screed box. Toachieve a 1/4" (6.35 mm) finished floor, set the screed box at5/16" (7.94 mm). For a 3/16" (4.76 mm) floor, set the screedbox at 1/4" (6.35 mm). If the material is too thick, it will bemore difficult to level.USE HAND TROWELS for edges and touch up.POWER TROWEL MATERIAL to compact and achievefinished texture as so<strong>on</strong> as possible with an epoxy powertrowel (
Eco-PT Topcoat or Eco-HT Topcoat must also be sanded ifapplying other Tennant urethanes after 24 hours. Use 80 gritpaper except for Eco-HPS, Eco-HPS 100, WearGuard-CRU and WearGuard-CRU 250–use 100. The use ofmore aggressive paper will introduce deep grooves that willnot be covered by a single, thin coat of urethane; swirl markswill be particularly evident if the topcoat is glossy. Werecommend thorough sanding with a swing-type buffer sothat multiple scratch marks cause an obvious gloss loss <strong>on</strong>all areas (depressi<strong>on</strong>s will remain shiny), and the floor isuniformly dulled. The ability to see individual scratch marksis an indicati<strong>on</strong> that sanding is not adequate. Scrub withdetergent and rinse with clean water before coating and tackrag to remove fine dust.TECHNICAL SUPPORTFor any preparati<strong>on</strong> or applicati<strong>on</strong> questi<strong>on</strong>s, please callTennant technical support at 800-228-4943 ext. 60751800 226 843 Aust).DISPOSALDispose in accordance with federal, state and localregulati<strong>on</strong>s.PLEASE SEE MATERIAL SAFETY DATASHEET (MSDS) FOR SAFETY ANDPRECAUTIONS.USE PRODUCT AS DIRECTED.KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OFCHILDREN.MAINTENANCE GUIDELINESAllow floor coating to cure at least <strong>on</strong>e weekbefore cleaning by mechanical means (e.g.,sweeper, scrubber, disc machine).Care: Proper maintenance will increase the life and helpmaintain the appearance of your new Tennant floor coating.Sweep and scrub your new coating regularly, as dirt and dustare abrasive and can quickly dull the finish, decreasing thelife of your coating. Remove spills quickly as certainchemicals may stain and could possibly permanently damagethe finish.Use soft nyl<strong>on</strong> brushes or white pads <strong>on</strong> your new floorcoating. Polypropylene or abrasive bristle (Tynex®)brushes can cause premature loss of gloss.Detergent: Tennant has a full range of detergents--generalpurpose to heavy duty--for your cleaning needs. Forassistance in determining which detergent is right for yourfacility or for additi<strong>on</strong>al technical informati<strong>on</strong> call: 800-553-8033 US (1800 226 843 Aust).Cauti<strong>on</strong>: Avoid scratching or gouging the surface. All floorcoatings will scratch if heavy objects are dragged across thesurface.Do not drop heavy or pointed items <strong>on</strong> the floor as this maycausing chipping or c<strong>on</strong>crete popouts in the case of a weakcap.TORFP GJKZ 09-0063 <str<strong>on</strong>g>SOW</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Attachment</str<strong>on</strong>g> DAppendix D Existing <str<strong>on</strong>g>Epoxy</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Coating</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>System</str<strong>on</strong>g> DataRubber tires can permanently stain the floor coating fromplasticizer migrati<strong>on</strong>.
