Epoxy pool paint

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

KTISEPOX PISCINE can be applied on a variety of surfaces such as concrete, plaster, cement mortar surfaces, tiles, old epoxy surfaces etc.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Thorough surface preparation is critical in order to ensure maximum adhesion and optimal results. The substrate should be grinded by mechanical means. Acceptable methods are diamond- or sand-grinding machines etc. Before applying primer. The surface must be completely dry, free of loose material, dust, oils, greases etc. If there are oils or other chemical materials they must be removed either by additional grinding or by using special cleaning detergent.  

When applying KTISEPOX PISCINE on bare concrete, it is strongly recommended to apply two layers of elastic cement based slurry in order to improve waterproofing properties.

When applying on fresh concrete, ensure that the concrete is at least 28 days old, before priming and applying KTISEPOX PISCINE.

When applying on tiles, ensure that the tiles are grinded enough to remove all shininess.

PRIMER

The surface must be primed with KTISEPOX HYDRO PR before applying KTISEPOX PISCINE. The KTISEPOX PISCINE system can be applied once the primer is dry. The drying of the primer depends on environmental as well as substrate conditions (3-12 hours).

Filling Cracks and joints

Cracks and holes should be repaired with KTISODUR G epoxy putty and let at least 12 hours to dry. Before applying KTISEPOX PISCINE the filled area should be lightly sanded and cleaned. If quick curing times are required use polyester putty (approx. drying time 15-20 mins.) instead of epoxy putty.

Preparing KTISEPOX PISCINE

The contents of buckets A and B need to be emptied in a third barrel or bucket. It is important to empty all the content of both buckets and ensure that all thick material stuck to the bottom of the bucket is also mixed. The mixing of the two materials needs to be consistent (with a mixer) and should last for at least 3-4 minutes at 300rpm. Scrappy or “lazy” mixing can lead to improper curing of the material and as a result some areas of the epoxy surface will stay “soft” and never harden properly.

Applying KTISEPOX PISCINE

The mixture (KTISEPOX PISCINE A + B) should be applied with a roller or with an airless spray gun. Apply at least two layers of the material. The second layer should be applied within 12-24 hours. If more than 24 hours have passed before the second layer is coated, then the surface should be roughened up with a sanding machine (to ensure better adhesion) and be cleaned of all dust and dirt.

Recommended CONSUMPTION

For every layer of KTISEPOX PISCINE expect to consume at least 0,250 kg/m². Actual consumption may be higher depending on the quality of the surface.
