MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS 

Description

MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS is a multi component solvent free epoxy floor coating system which is designed for continuous protection in light to medium duty applications at thicknesses between 0.5mm-1.5mm. MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS is applied to produce a smooth finish.

Primary uses

MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS has good wear and abrasion resistance and is suitable for use in many industrial applications. It can be used as a surface coating where a hygienic and high gloss appearance is required.

It provides impermeable protection against common oils, greases, lubricants, aviation fuels or oils such as Skydrol. In addition it offers good general chemical resistance, but as in all corrosive situations, a full analysis of operating and exposure conditions is required, followed by reference to chemical resistance data to ensure product suitability.

MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS is used extensively in the following industries:

• Pharmaceutical and other medical laboratory situations.
• Car production facilities.
• Aircraft hangars and maintenance areas.
• Warehouses - for installations with a medium frequency and volume of traffic.
• Traffic decking - including pedestrian and light duty vehicles.

Advantages

• Good wear and abrasion resistance.
• Easily applied.
• Smooth high gloss finish for hygienic applications.
• Good general chemical resistance.
• Limited maintenance.

Packaging

MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS is supplied as a 26kg multi component pack.

Guide to application

Remove all surface laitance, oil, grease or any defective concrete that will reduce the bond of the MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS to the substrate.

The surface over which the MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS is to be laid must be flat and roughened.

Surface irregularities must be ground down or filled out with CONCRESIVE 2200 or repair materials from the EMACO range.

A light etch giving the texture of medium grit sand paper is the ideal surface profile for the application of MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS, this can be achieved by light grit blasting or high pressure water jetting, capture blasting or surface grinding.

After all preparation has been completed, ensure dust is removed from the surface preferably by vacuuming.

Specialist finishes should not be applied to concrete which contains more than 5% moisture by mass. The substrates can be considered sufficiently dry when the relative humidity at the surface falls to 75% or less when measured with a hygrometer to BS 8201 : 1981.

Application:

Prior to application MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS should be stored under cover and protected from extremes of temperature which will cause inconsistent workability, finish and cure times for the mixed material. Ideally at least 24 hours before mixing, MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS should be conditioned at approximately 20°C.

When working in cold conditions do not apply MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS if the substrate or ambient temperature cannot be maintained above 10°C for at least 10 days from the start of application.

Sealing:

All concrete surfaces to be overlaid with MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS must be sealed with a coat of MASTERTOP 1200 PLUS resin with the addition of 0.5ltr of CLEANING SOLVENT NO. 2. Add the CLEANING SOLVENT NO. 2 to the base and reactor components, after they have been decanted into the mixing container, then mix the base and reactor components together until all striations have disappeared. Apply the mixed material to the dry substrate at the rate of 6-8 m² / ltr using a medium or short hair roller. Allow the sealer to become completely tack free before overcoating with MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS.

MASTERTOP 1200 PLUS resin with the addition of SOLVENT as described will cover 72-96m² depending on surface texture and porosity.

Mixing / application:

Pour the base, reactor and colour pack into a suitable mixing vessel (minimum size 20ltr) and mix using a drill and spiral mixing head until all striations have disappeared and a uniform colour is obtained, add the MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS aggregate, whilst continuing to mix for a further 2 minutes or until it can be seen that the mixed material is lump free.

Application:

To achieve a smooth finish apply the MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS with a short hair roller or squeegee, as a single coat at a minimum thickness of 0.5mm. To apply at thickness greater than 0.5mm use a pin screed or trowel.

The coating should be rolled with a spike roller as soon as possible after application to achieve a uniform finish. The applied coating should be rolled a second time after 15-20 minutes. Continuous rolling does not harm the product while it is still fluid.

Always wear spiked shoes when rolling the MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS with a spiked roller.

Maintenance:

To keep the floor in pristine condition it should be treated with 2 or 3 coats of an acrylic emulsion polish with a metallic base.

Yield

A 26kg unit will yield 16.71 litre of mixed material.

Watchpoint

MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS is suitable for application to smooth surfaces only.

Equipment care

Remove uncured MASTERTOP 1210 PLUS from tools and equipment using CLEANING SOLVENT NO 2.

Storage

Store out of direct sunlight, clear of the ground on pallets protected from rainfall. Avoid excessive compaction and protect from extremes of temperatures. In tropical climates the product must be stored in an air conditioned environment.

Safety precautions

As with all chemical products, care should be taken during use and storage to avoid contact with eyes, mouth, skin and foodstuffs (which can also be tainted with vapour until products is fully cured or dried). Treat splashes to eyes and skin immediately. If accidentally ingested, seek medical attention. Reseal containers after use.
