METHOD OF USE KINGFLOOR EP25
Surface Preparation and Priming
To obtain a proper bond the substrate must be structurally sound clean, dry (less than 75% RH measured using a hygrometer, unless it is a suspended deck free to dry from below) and free from dust, laitance, oils, paints or other forms of contamination. Grit blasting, grinding or scarification can be used to remove laitance and surface contamination.
Areas known to have been subject to heavy contamination should be thoroughly inspected before applying KIngFloor EP25. This is especially important where deposits of oil or grease have collected. Any irregularities within the substrate should be made good before the application of the Prime coat. Small defects may be made good using suitable repair materials such as KIngRep range or epoxy putty "KingRep EP10".
How to use
Surface preparation
All surfaces should be primed with KIngFloor EP25 before applying KIngFloor EP100.
Mixing
KIngFloor EP100 comprises three components, a resin, hardener and colour pack which are supplied pre-weighed in the correct proportions. Under no circumstances should part mixing be carried out.
Pre-mix the resin component with a power whisk attached to a slow speed electric drill for 1 minute before mixing both components.
Taking care to ensure that the bottom and sides are thoroughly scraped, transfer the contents of the resin in to the hardener. Using a power whisk attached to a slow speed electric drill, mix for approximately 3 minutes, ensuring the mixing head is pushed around the sides and bottom of the mixing container. Transfer the contents into another container, scraping down and re-mixing for a further 2 minutes avoiding the entraining of excessive air until a uniform consistency is obtained. Add the colour pack and further mix for 2 minutes.
Application
Immediately after mixing is complete, spread the KIngFloor EP100 onto the primed floor using a short or medium pile roller and to obtain an Anti-slip surface fully blinded with Anti-slip aggregates at the rate of 2 - 3 kg/m² and allow to dry. All excess aggregates shall be removed before applying the final top coat. To obtain smooth surface, Anti-slip aggregates are not used.
KINGFLOOR EP100
Mixing
KIngFloor EP100 comprises three components, a resin, hardener and colour pack, which are supplied pre-weighed in the correct proportions. Under no circumstances should part mixing be carried out.
Taking care to ensure that the bottom and sides are thoroughly scraped, transfer the entire contents of both components into a separate mixing container. Using a power whisk attached to a slow speed electric drill, mix for approximately 3 minutes ensuring the mixing head is pushed around the sides and bottom of the mixing container. Add the colour pack and further mix for 2 minutes.
Application
On completion of mixing immediately apply the KIngFloor EP100 at the required thickness to the Anti-slip blinded or smooth KIngFloor EP100.
Mixing
KIngFloor EP25 comprises three components; a
resin, hardener and colour pack which are supplied
pre-weighed in the correct proportions. Under no
circumstances should part mixing be carried out.
Taking care to ensure that the bottom and sides are thoroughly drained, pour the contents of the hardener portion into the resin container. Using a power whisk attached to a slow speed electric drill, mix for approximately 2 minutes, scrape down and re-mix for a further 1 minute, avoiding the entraining of excessive air, until a uniform consistency is obtained add the colours pack and further mix for 2 minutes. Allow to stand for 1 minute.
Note: Never mix KIngFloor EP25 by hand as this could lead to areas of uncured material.
Application
Once mixing is complete, spread the KIngFloor EP25 onto the floor using a medium pile roller, ensuring it is worked well into the surface.
Overcoating
KIngFloor EP25 may be overcoated as soon as it becomes tack free. If overcoating of the KIngFloor EP25 exceeds 30 hours, light scarification of the surface should be undertaken before further applications of KIngFloor EP100.

Cleaning
Tools should be cleaned with KingKrete Solvent immediately after use.
Coverage, packaging and storage
Coverage
The coverage obtained will vary depending on the porosity and texture of the surface to which the System materials are applied and, if applicable, the type and size of aggregate used. As a guide, the minimum coverages (per coat) should be as follows:
KIngFloor EP25: 0.2 kg/m². KIngFloor EP100: 0.30 - 0.40 kg/m².
KIngFloor EP100: 0.4- 0.5 kg/m² when broadcast with Anti-slip Aggregate.
Anti-slip Aggregate: 2 - 3 kg/m².
