. Prepare substrate, install grounding foil (
see full instructions for details). Prepare the ElectraGuard carefully: Catalyzed ElectraGuard should be used within six hours of mixing, therefore prepare only the quantity necessary for immediate use.
Add the pre-measured catalyst to epoxy base. Stir gently until the catalyst has been thoroughly mixed in (a low RPM drill may be used with a rotary mixing attachment but try to not beat air into the material). Allow the catalyzed mixture to stand 5 minutes.
Utilizing a short nap roller or brush, carefully apply a thin uniform coat of catalyzed ElectraGuard around perimeter walls, doorways etc (about 6" width and try to not get any on walls ;) After perimeter of room is completed utilize short nap rollers (18" wide with long handle extensions work best) to roll a thin uniform coat through out the remainder of the area. The initial coat will cover approximately 250 to 500 ft 2 per gallon.
Allow the initial coat to dry for 5-7 hours or longer and apply a second coat. Second coat coverage is approximately 500-600 ft2 per gallon. Allow the second coat to dry for 8 to 12 hours and apply a third cost. Third coat coverage is approximately 500-600 SF per gallon.
Finished floors may be opened to light traffic, under normal curing conditions, after 12 hours.
See full scale installation instructions for further details. Allow coats to cure for a minimum of 48 hours (good environmental airflow) or 72 hours (compromised environmental airflow) prior to proceeding to step 2 (topical coatings of Electrathane Sealer).
Thoroughly remove loose dirt and dust cured ElectraGuard via sweeping (do not use sweeping compounds). Remove imperfections if any (such as bubbles and splatters) from ElectraGuard via light scraping followed by vacuuming.
Agitate ElectraThane sealant in container prior to use, pour into clean contaminant free bucket and mop on one thin even coat using non linting synthetic finish mops. Allow coat to dry (depending on humidity and temperature) for 60 to 90 minutes before re-application of second thin coat. Two coats are or more are recommended.
ElectraThane does not readily lend itself to high speed polishing but has a good as applied luster and excellent slip resistance. Allow coats to cure for a minimum of 12 hours prior to proceeding to step 3 (topical coatings of ElectraGlaze Floor Finish).
See full scale installation instructions for further details.
Using a clean Rayon finish mop or wax applicator, apply a minimum of one thin even coat of ElectraGlaze allowing finish to dry 2 to 4 hours prior to allowing traffic on floor.
Two coats are recommended for optimum performance. Buffing is not required unless high mirror like shine is desired. Note: Avoid application during high humidity conditions, use thin coats ONLY.
See full scale installation instructions for further details.
The ElectraGuard Tri-Layer ESD Flooring System meets latest standard of S2020-2007 for esd conductive flooring and ANSI/ESD STM97.1-2006 resistance to ground in combination with Operator / Heel Grounders / ESD Flooring. ElectraGuard Tri-Layer meets or exceeds the requirements of Federal Specifications LF-475a and SST-312b for dimensional stability, resistance to reagents and residual indentation.
