Resist Epoxy Sand Overlay System

This two component system is a concrete restoration solution formulated to transform, enhance and protect exixting slabs and structures.

Resist has proven high performance history in commercial and residential applications and this proprietary, durable overlay provides superior slip-resistance with an integratedlayer of specialty aggregate. Additionally it offers exceptional abrasionand moisture resistance, high flexibility to freezethaw comnditions and remains unaffected by deicer chemicals.

This system is a two component concrete restoration solution, formulated to transform , enhance and protect exixting concrete slabs and structures. This system is designed for exixtion concrete surfaces that require restoration or transformation.

KEY FEATURES:

• Easy to use 1:1 mix ratio
• Superior bond strength and impact resistance
• Resistnt to deicers and other chemicals, such as gasoline and diesel
• ADA approved non-slip, as a top coat naturally fades, the grip intensity of the system will not, due to our unique layering of the aggregate in the application process.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:

 PREPARATION: The user should be familliar with the container's label prior to using this product. Only resist approved san aggregates should be used with this system, unless formally approved by manufacturer. The Resist Exterior Sand Epoxy system may be used at a range of temperatures; however the user should be ware that temperature plays a roll in the pot life and cure times of this product.

1. Ensure surface is properly abraded, clean and dry before application. Surface contaminants with failure to properly prepare the surface can lead to poor adhesion and delamination, not covered by warranty.
2. A proper inspection of the concrete is required to check for structural deficiencies and any deteriorated areas should be promptly marked and removed.  The entire surface should be shot blasted or ground to a CSP#2 to #3 or a depth that ensures that all deteriorated and contaminated concrete is removed. All existing cracks should be prepared by utilizing the following steps: 

a. Cracks should be opened with a V-Blade and cleaned thoroughly.

b. Depending on the timeline of your project, you will then utilize TK-9030 or the resist epoxy and the approved sand aggregate for your repairs. 

Refer to the next chart to determine best repair product for your project.

TK-9030

For projects with tighter timelines, the use of TK-9030 is ideal as it will set and be ready for the next steps after 30 minutes. Refer to the TK-9030 TDS for full details of this product.

RESIST EPOXY

The use of the resist Epoxy is a repair method that can be used, provided the 4-6 hours cure time can be adhered to within your project timeline. 1. Mixing 1:1 Part  A & Part B of the resist Epoxy, you will include X of your system approved Sand Aggregate into this to blend into your repair paste. 2. Apply the paste with a standard Trowel, which will later be ground flush to surface after curing is complete (4 - 6 hours).

Verify that you have equal amount of Resist Epoxy A & Epoxy B on hand. The mixing ration for the two components is 1:1 by volume (not weight). 

 

Each component is supplied in seperate containers and should be combined using a paddle mixer (powered by a low speed electric drill) or a proportioning pump for 3 minutes. When using the sand aggragates Gold mine or Silver Fox, The use of the corresponding universal tint paste is required, misx as follows in step 3. If you are using the Armostone(r) premier aggregate, you can move on to step 4.

Add universal tint paste to part A and Mix on Low-Medium RPMs for 1 - 2 minutes or until thouroughly mixed with a mixing paddle on a variable speed drill. 88 Universal tint paste pairing by sand aggregate can be found in the systems companion s section. 

Combine part A and B into a clean mixing bucket and mix for 3 minutes.

For projects with heavy traffic or exposure, steps 2 - 6 should be repeated for a second broadcast prior to sealing.

**PROTIP MAXIMIZING MATERIAL: FLAYOUT MATERIAL TO DO A WET-ON-WET APPLICATION VERSUS CREATING A SITUATION WHERE YOU ARE DRAGGING MATERIALS ACROSS THE SLAB

**PROTIP PROJECT STAGING: FOR A SMOOTH INSTALLATION, THIS SYSTEM FUNCTIONS IDEALLY WITHIN A STAGED WORKSPACE AND JOBSITE WITH PRE-ASSIGNED ROLES FOR EACH STEP OF THE INSTALLATION.

1. After thoroughly mixing the necessary materials transport the mixing bucket to slab and pour out ribbons of material immediately to correspond coverage from that batch.

2. Materials should then be spread utilizing an 8 - 12 mill gauge squeegee to create a uniformthickness of Resist Epoxy.

3. Take a 3/8 inch nap roller, preferrably 18", and backroll over the gauged squeegee work to provide a flat and continued uniform layer of epoxy.

4. For material that has collected in controll joints, can be worked out with a chip brush prior the the application of the system approved aGGREGATE CHOSEN.

5. Once Epoxy is applied and rolled, application of Resist Sand Aggregate should commence immediately. (Aggregate should be broadcast relevant to a rate of 80 Square feet per 50lb. bag. Noth that thicker applications of epoxy will require more sand aggregate for coverage to be acheived.)

6. After epoxy has hardened, un-bonded aggregate shoudl be scraped and recovered proir to application of a sealer using a standard metal floor scraper. (The epoxy and sand aggreegate need to completely harden before scraping and recovering any loose material, which is 3 - 5 hours).
