Epoxy Topcoat (Anti-Skid)

Ritver Epoxy Topcoat (Anti-Skid) is a High build top coat based on a selected epoxy resin and forms a two component product with a suitable catalyst. By virtue of the epoxy resin composition it exhibits excellent resistance to mild acids, bases and other chemicals. It has outstanding mechanical properties combined with good flow and is very easy
to apply. It can be an ideal top coat for floor coatings which has severe abuse. It is recoat able to considerable thickness.

Designed for severe industrial floors, car parking areas and heavy traffic with moderate load accompanied with good chemical and hot water resistance. It is recommended in animal rooms,poultry farms, food process units, beverages plants, and chemical industries.
Substrates: Designed for medium to heavy industrial floors, car parking, animal houses,poultry farms, beverage plants.
Area of Use: Exterior and Interior

A good surface preparation and following the method statement / recommended system procedure of Ritver is an ideal recommendation for the application of Ritver Epoxy Topcoat (Anti-Skid).
For Metals & Steel Surfaces:
Achieve a good and clean surface by removing all contaminants by cleaning & drying. A laitance free surface should be achieved by good sweep blast or a wire brush.
Dilute to the required consistency pour it in the application tank. Stir for uniformity. Dip for the required application requirement the Ritver Epoxy Topcoat (Anti- Skid) and proceed after drying. Since it is quick drying stacking can be done in 30-40 minutes time. Touch up if
necessary at the areas where there is mechanical damage. (It is not advised to coat over the primer as it may penetrate into the primer surface. Exclusions for successful application include perpetually wet surfaces and also large cavities on wood, metal or concrete surfaces.

Adequate ventilation is an ideal situation as it helps in drying and the good application itself.Avoid high humid conditions i.e., >95% when condensation is likely to interfere and also when the surface temperature is at least 3°C above dew point.
Application: To be done by conventional roller or spray at 2000 – 2500 psi for airless spray or 50 – 60 psi for conventional spray). Nozzle size: 0.015 – 0.018 inches.
One can add 5 – 10% of Ritver QD Thinner for ease of application of brush/roller/or spray viscosity.
Caution: Over diluting would result in sag and run downs.

Under dry and cool condition, storage stability can be sound up to 18 months in original sealed containers.
