Instructions for use

Priming
Mix Vetoprime EP190 as supplied. Add the entire content of hardener can to the base can and mix thoroughly for about 2 minutes, then add the third catalyst reducer part slowly and mix for 4 minutes. Once mixed, the Vetoprime EP190 shall be immediately applied in a thin continuous film using stiff brushes or rollers. Avoid over-application and puddles.
Vetoprime EP190 shall be allowed to become tack-free prior to the application of epoxy coating (unless otherwise specified) but well within the open time specified for the given temperature.
The hotter the substrate, the more quickly the primer will become dry.

Curing

At temperatures below 20ºC, the cure rate will be slower. Conversely, at temperatures above 20ºC, the cure rate will be faster.
As with all water-based products; do not apply when RH is >90% and/or when substrate temperature is >35C

Cleaning
All tools and equipment shall be cleaned immediately after use with water.

 

Surface Preparation

It is essential that Vetoprime EP190 is applied to a sound, clean and dry surface in order to achieve maximum bond strength between substrate and coating/repair products.

Concrete Substrates
Should be at least 28 days old and relative humidity of the concrete is 85% or below. Laitence deposits on new concrete are best removed by light grit blasting, mechanical scabbling or grinding.
Where heavy contamination by oil and grease has occurred or existing coatings are present, it is essential that all contaminations are removed.

Additional Information
