Description A range of solvent-based, chemically resistant floor coating, available in clear and attractive colors,
designed to seal, dustproof and protect concrete floors and other surfaces against the ingress of dirt, oil,
grease and a variety of chemicals.
Colors Light Grey, Mid Grey, Slate Grey, Tile Red, Corn, Magnolia, Blue, British Racing Green, Mushroom and
Clear.
Uses Suitable for areas subjected to foot and light vehicular traffic such as factories, garage showrooms,
dairies, kitchens, workrooms, etc. Ozone Epocoat equally suitable for walls may also be used as a sealer
on resin-based screeds where cleanliness is important or where particularly wet conditions are
encountered.
Advantages Dusting eliminated along with the associated hazards.
Improves the working environment.
Pre-weighed pack for simple mixing.
Hardwearing, durable and long-lasting.
Easily cleaned hence reducing maintenance costs.
Quickly and easily applied by semi-skilled labor.
Chemical Resistance O Performance of Ozone Epocoat tested by immersion at 20 C against a range of aggressive chemicals.

Acids
Hydrochloric Acid (Conc.) Fair Nitric Acid 25% Good
Sulphuric Acid 50% Good Lactic Acid 10% Good
Acetic Acid 10% Fair Citric Acid 20% Good
Alkalines
Sodium Hydroxide 50% Good Ammonia 10% Good
Solvents
White Spirit Good Methylated Spirit Good
Xylene Good Butanol Good
Oils
Lubricating Oil Good Petrol Good
Skydrol Good
Aqueous Solutions
Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) Good Sugar Solution (Saturated) Good
Salt (Sodium Chloride Saturated) Good Ammonium Sulphate (10%) Good

It should be noted that the ability of Ozone Epocoat to resist attack is dependent on the temperature and concentration of the chemicals. If in doubt contact the Ozone technical department.

Instruction for use Surface preparation: The surface to be treated should be dry, sound and free from loose materials. New concrete should be at
least 28 days old before application. Damaged or worn areas should be repaired using Ozone Epo Fair
Crete. Any laitance should be removed by physical methods or by acid etching. Should the strength or the
surface stability of the concrete base be in doubt, then we recommend a trial patch of Ozone Epocoat is
applied to assess its suitability. On highly polished/power floated floors, mechanical preparation or acid
etching will be necessary.
Steel surface: Steel substrates should be grit blasted to surface quality SA 2½ (BS 4232: Second quality) and primed
with a single coat of Ozone Epoprime.Mixing: The base and hardener components of the Ozone Epocoat should be thoroughly stirred before the two are
mixed together. The entire contents of the hardener container should be poured into the base container
and the two materials mixed thoroughly at least 3 minutes. The use of a heavy-duty slow speed,
flameproof or air driven drill fitted with a Mixing Paddle is desirable. Mix these components in the
quantities supplied taking care to ensure all containers are scraped clean. Do not add solvent thinners at
any time.
Application: The mixed Ozone Epocoat should be applied to the prepared surface using airless spray, brush or lambswool roller. Ensure that the area is completely coated and that ‘ponding’ of the material does not occur. The
second coat may be applied as soon as the first coat has initially dried (typically 12 to 18 hours). The time
will be dependent on the type of surface and the ambient conditions.
Coverage:
2 Ozone Epocoat : 10 m /litre @ 100 microns ft per coat
(2 coat application recommended)
2 Ozone Epoprime : 5 – 6 m /litre
Cleaning & Disposal Ozone Epocoat should be removed from tools and equipment with Ozone Solvent immediately after use.
Hardened material can only be removed mechanically. Do not dispose of into water or soil but according
to local regulations.
Precautions/Limitations Ozone Epocoat should not be applied onto surfaces known to or are likely to suffer from rising dampness or have a relative humidity greater than 75% as measured in accordance with BS 8203 Appendix A or by Protimeter thermohydrometer.
Health & safety Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid inhalation of vapors. Some people are sensitive to resins, hardeners, and solvents. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection. If working in confined areas, suitable respiratory protective equipment must be used. The use of barrier creams provide additional skin protection. In case of contact with skin, rinse with plenty of clean water, then cleanse with soap and water. Do not use solvent. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately – do not induce vomiting.
