Easy to apply in 1 day
Farmcoat Epoxy Wall Coating is very easy to apply yourself in 1 day. Here we explain how you can easily apply an epoxy wall coating in your workspace, tank room, barn wall or milking parlor.
Requirements
- Clean tap water, preferably a high-pressure cleaner
- Grinder
- Farmcoat application kit; consisting of a watering can with spray nozzle, mixing paddle (for a drill), brushes, rollers, telescopic pole, tape and Farmcoat ADP Cleaner)
- Farmcoat Epoxy Primer
- Farmcoat Epoxy Wall Coating
1. Preparation
The preparation process is of the utmost importance for a good final result. Grease, dirt (feed residues/manure) and other contaminants must be completely removed from the substrate. High pressure may be used.
2. Grinding
Grind the substrate with a grinder. This will also grind away any stubborn dirt. The following applies to grinding per type of substrate:
- New cement-bound substrates must be at least 2 weeks old before applying a coating. These do not need to be ground as long as they are smooth.
- Grind old plastic, paint or coating layers thoroughly.
- Bare steel objects must be blasted. Already treated steel objects (with paint etc.) only need to be ground.
- Pre-treated wood must be ground thoroughly. Wax, grease or oils must be completely removed.
3. Cleaning
Apply the Farmcoat ADP Cleaner diluted with water (1 to 30) to the wall using the watering can with spray nozzle. Brush it in and let it work on the substrate for a maximum of 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, spray the substrate clean with tap water. The ADP Cleaner is an acidic cleaner that ensures all tiny dirt particles (invisible to the eye) dissolve.
4. Primer
Make sure the substrate is completely dry before applying the primer. You can do this by letting it dry overnight or by forcing it with a gas burner. Tape the substrate where necessary for a good separation line.
Apply Farmcoat Epoxy Primer according to the following description: prepare the product for use by adding the B-component (hardener) to the A-component and mixing it thoroughly until it is a uniform mass. Then let the product rest for 5 minutes before application. Then apply the product with a roller or brush.
Let the primer dry for approximately 4 hours. When the white primer has completely dried and become transparent, you can proceed to the next step: coating!
5. Coating
Prepare Farmcoat Epoxy Wall Coating for use by adding the B-component (hardener) to the A-component and mixing it thoroughly for 2 min. Also mix well along the edges and on the bottom of the can.
Apply the coating as quickly as possible, but at least within 1 hour after mixing, to the wall using a roller or brush. Work thoroughly wet-on-wet.
6. Drying
After 12 hours of drying, you can use the floor again.
