Applications

  • Used to create final surface coatings with high resistance to abrasion, water penetration and chemicals, bearing light to medium loads, such as factory floors, garages, warehouses, etc.

  • BestCoat EP605 can be applied directly onto concrete, cement render, fiber-cement cladding panels, epoxy mortar and metal surfaces, etc.

Advantages

  • Bonds well with all high-moisture surfaces (relative humidity up to 8%).

  • Resistant to chemicals, carbonation and high mechanical abrasion.

  • Fast strength development, allowing the structure to be put into use sooner.

  • High coverage, making it economical and cost-saving.

  • Withstands scrubbing, easy to clean, resistant to microorganisms and mold, etc.

  • Environmentally friendly, contains no harmful agents.

  • Notably does not pollute domestic water sources.

  • Easy to apply with common tools such as brushes, short-nap rollers and pressure spray guns, etc.

  • Long workable time.

  • Easy to recognize the sign that the workable time has ended.

Application instruction

Surface preparation:

  • The substrate must reach the minimum strength (compressive strength ≥ 20 MPa, tensile strength ≥ 1.5 MPa). The surface must be treated to block water penetration; impurities and dust must be removed as required before application.

Coating system:

  • Defective or honeycombed surfaces must be treated with dedicated BestBond-line epoxy mortars before applying BestCoat EP605.

  • For flat, dense surfaces with medium roughness, the standard coating system consists of:

    • One primer coat of BestPrimer EP602 at: 0.15 ÷ 0.20 kg/m².

    • Two finish coats of BestCoat EP605 at: 0.10 ÷ 0.15 kg/m².

  • However, depending on the specific requirements of each item, project and intended use, the number of coats may be increased as required.

Mixing:

  • Add component A into component B at the specified ratio. Use an electric mixer or a dedicated mixing machine (300 to 400 rpm) to mix the material for about 2 minutes or longer until the mixture is homogeneous. Let the material stand for about 03 minutes and re-mix before application.

Application:

  • Can be applied with a brush, short-nap roller or pressure spray gun. The application rate must not exceed 0.40 kg/m² in any case. The work area must be well-ventilated, clean and dust-free.

Notes:

  • When subdividing into smaller portions, stir component B well before weighing.

  • Do not use paint that has exceeded its workable time and has already cured.

Cleaning:

  • Use water and soap to clean tools immediately after use and before the paint cures.

Safety guidance:

  • Both components are non-hazardous and non-flammable. However, to ensure safe conditions, gloves, a mask and safety goggles must be worn during application.

  • If splashed into the eyes, nose or mouth, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water several times before going to the nearest medical facility for timely and proper treatment.
