Application Details
_______________________________________________________________________________
Consumption/ Dosage 0.3-0.5 Kg/m2 per coat, dependent on substrate condition and
equired coating thickness.
Notes: For a theoretical dry film thickness of 100 microns (0.1
mm), approx 0.15 Kg/m2 of the mixture must be applied. It is
advisable to Chemgard 63N in a test area first.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Substrate Quality The concrete substrate must be sound and of sufficient
compressive strength (minimum 25 N/mm2).The substrate must
be clean, dry and free of all contaminants such as dirt, oil,
grease, coatings and surface treatments etc.

Substrate Preparation Concrete substrates must be prepared mechanically using
abrasive blast cleaning or scarifying equipment to remove
cement laitance and achieve a profiled open textured surface.
Weak concrete must be removed and surface defects such as
blowholes and voids must be fully exposed. Repairs to substrate,
filling of blowholes/voids and surface leveling can be carried out
using appropriate products like Chemdur 31. The concrete or
screed substrate has to be primed or leveled up in order to
achieve an even surface by using Chemfloor 241. All dust, loose
and friable material must be completely removed from all
surfaces before application of the product, preferably by brush
and/or by roller.

Application Instructions
_______________________________________________________________________________
Mixing Part A (Resin): Part B (Hardener) = 87: 13 (by weight)
_______________________________________________________________________________
Mixing Time Prior to mixing stir part A mechanically. When all of part B has
been added to part A, mix continuously for 2 minutes until a
uniform mix has been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing,
pour the material into another container and mix again to achieve
a consistent mix. Over mixing must be avoided to minimize air
entrapment. After mixing allow the material to stand for 3
minutes before application
_______________________________________________________________________________
Mixing Tools Chemgard 63 N must be mechanically mixed using an electric
stirrer (300 – 400 rpm) or other suitable equipment.
