NORTHERN BASED EPOXY COATING

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: CURE SCHEDULE:

NIF WBE is a two component water based epoxy coating pot life - 1gallon volume…1.0-1.5 hours

that exhibits excellent characteristics that rival solvent tack free (dry to touch)…5-8 hours

based products. NIF WBE has superb chemical resistance, recoat or topcoat…7-10 hours

abrasion resistance, and substrate penetration. light foot traffic…16-24 hours

full cure (heavy traffic)…2-7 days

RECOMMENDED FOR:

SHELF LIFE: LIMITATIONS:

1 year in unopened containers. * Colors may be affected by high humidity, low

temperatures or chemical exposure.

FINISH CHARACTERISTICS: * Product will yellow in the presence of UV light.

Satin gloss (40-80 at 60 degrees @ Erichsen glossmeter) * For best results use a 1/4" or 3/8" nap roller.

* Slab on grade requires moisture barrier.

ABRASION RESISTANCE: * Substrate temperature must be 5 degrees above

Taber abrasor CS-17 calibrase wheel with 1000 gram dew point.

total load and 500 cycles = 54 mg loss * All new concrete must be cured for at least 30

days.

IMPACT RESISTANCE: * Product color will vary from batch to batch.

Gardner impact, direct = 50 in. lb. (passed) Therefore, use only product from the same batch

for an entire job location.

FLEXIBILITY: * Light or bright colors (off white ect.) may require

No cracks on a 1/8" mandrel multiple costs or a topcoat to achieve a satisfactory

hide, depending on the substrate.
