Jotafloor Glass Flake

Product description

A two pack, high solids epoxy reinforced with glass flakes that constitutes the protective layer of the Jotafloor Traffic Deck System. Offers all round protection against substances likely to assist in steel corrosion within a concrete substrate and provides excellent resistance to impact and abrasion and the stresses found in car parks/traffic decks subject to heavy vehicular traffic.

Recommended use

For use in conjunction with Jotafloor products comprising the Jotafloor Traffic Deck System. Can be spray, brush or roller applied in two or three coats depending on the volume of traffic expected. This product can also be used independently of the Jotafloor Traffic Deck System. A wide range of colours are available. Typical areas include:

Underground car parks Ramps

External traffic deck Concrete balconies Parking bays Pedestrian walkways

Surface preparation

All concrete damaged by exposure to chemicals, contaminated by any substance or unsound in any way, shall be removed to expose sound concrete.

Bare steel

Cleanliness: Blast cleaning to min. Sa 2 ½ (ISO 8501 1:2007). Roughness: using abrasives suitable to achieve Grade Medium G (50 - 85 µm, Ry5) (ISO 8503-2).

Coated surfaces

Clean, dry and undamaged compatible primer. Contact your local Jotun office for more information.

Other surfaces

Concrete surface preparation by using dust free captive blasting units, grinding equipment, sand blasting or high pressure water jetting is critical to achieving the right surface profile prior to paint application. Please contact your local Jotun office for more information.

The coating may be used on other substrates. Please contact your local Jotun office for more information.

Condition during application

The temperature of the substrate should be minimum 10°C and at least 3°C above the dew point of the air, temperature and relative humidity measured in the vicinity of the substrate. The moisture content in the concrete should not exceed 4 % (by weight). The coating should not be exposed to oil, chemicals or mechanical stress until fully cured.

Application methods

Spray Use airless spray

Roller May be used for small areas.

Drying time

Drying times are generally related to air circulation, temperature, film thickness and number of coats, and will be affected correspondingly. The figures given in the table are typical with:

• Good ventilation (Outdoor exposure or free circulation of air)

• Typical film thickness

• One coat on top of inert substrate

1. Recommended data given for product prior to application of Jotafloor Non Slip Aggregate and subsequent over coating with Jotafloor Polyurethane Finish.

The given data must be considered as guidelines only. The actual drying time/times before recoating may be shorter or longer, depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, underlying paint system, requirement for early handling and mechanical strength etc. A complete system can be described on a system sheet, where all parameters and special conditions could be included.

Other systems may be specified, depending on area of use
