Applications

BestCoat EP704 is used for:

  • Floors, slabs, ceilings, walls and partitions, etc. of warehouses, garages, kindergartens, cleanrooms and industrial production workshops.

  • Places requiring high resistance to chemicals, abrasion, dust and bacteria.

Advantages

  • Resistant to chemicals, abrasion and dust.

  • Antibacterial, resistant to algae/moss and mold.

  • No peeling or blistering.

  • High strength, good gloss.

  • High coverage capability.

  • Long-lasting durability.

Application instruction

Surface preparation:

  • For concrete surfaces: compressive strength ≥ 20 MPa, tensile strength ≥ 1.5 MPa. The surface must be flat, dense, dry (maximum moisture 4%); impurities, debris and dust must be cleaned as required.

  • For metal surfaces: must be free of rust, oil, grease or other impurities such as dust and water, etc.

Coating system:

  • For concrete, render, natural stone and artificial stone surfaces:

    • 01 coat of BestPrimer EP701: 0.10 – 0.25 kg/m²/coat (depending on surface condition).

    • 02 coats of BestCoat EP704: 0.10 – 0.25 kg/m²/coat (depending on surface condition).

  • For metal surfaces:

    • 02 coats of BestCoat EP704: 0.10 – 0.25 kg/m²/coat.

Mixing:

  • Add component B into component A at the specified ratio. Use an electric mixer or a dedicated mixing machine (300 to 500 rpm) to mix the material for about 3 minutes or longer until the mixture is homogeneous. Let the mixture stand for about 10 ÷ 15 minutes, then stir again before application.

Application:

  • Can be applied with a brush, short-nap roller or pressure spray gun.

Notes:

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

  • Do not use paint that has exceeded its workable time and has started to cure.

Cleaning:

  • Use BestThinner SC-01 to clean tools immediately after application and before the mixture starts to cure.

Safety guidance:

  • Both components are hazardous and flammable; keep away from heat sources, electric sparks or open flames during application or storage.

  • The product may cause irritation to sensitive skin on prolonged contact. Wear gloves, a mask and safety goggles when applying the product.

  • 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.

  • Dispose of excess product at locations designated by local regulations.
