Surfaces should ideally be prepared by mechanical abrasion, e.g. scabbling, water/grit blasting or similar means to expose the aggregate and provide a mechanical key. All coatings, grease, oil, dirt and deleterious material must be removed. Similarly clean the back of the component. Damping The prepared surfaces must be thoroughly dampened with clean water. All surplus water must be removed before the primer is applied. Priming Brush apply a primer of 1:1 Ronafix : cement to both surfaces, substrate and component, immediately before applying the Ronafix modified mortar. Mix the primer thoroughly and apply evenly over the surface ensuring total and uniform coverage. Only prime an area which can be covered by the mortar within the working time of the primer.

9 Ronafix for Bedding Certificate No. 89/2149 Polymer admixture for bedding mortars Instructions for Use (continued) Note that the primer must not be allowed to dry. If it dries it must be thoroughly cross hatch scratched and reapplied. Mixing Ronafix modified mortars can be mixed by hand or machine. Machine mixing will more easily provide a mortar with even dispersion of mix components and a lower water/cement ratio. The use of a forced action mixer (eg. Creteangle or Screedmaster) will provide optimum performance; free fall mixers cause the mortar to ball up with a resultant reduction in performance and must not be used. Depending on the quality of mixer used and the moisture content of sands and aggregates it may not be necessary to add the full amount of water specified in the mix design. When using an efficient mixer, a mixing time of 2-3 minutes is normally sufficient. Do not overwork the mix as this will entrain air and may affect performance. Once mixed the mortar should be used as quickly as possible. Placing As soon as the material is mixed render it onto the wet/tacky primer or trowel on to the back of the component being bedded and place the component in position ensuring compaction. Remove excess mortar, taking care not to stain the surface. Support if necessary until the mortar has hardened sufficiently to support the component. If required the joints can be raked out, taking care not to disturb the bond, and repointed with a coloured mortar. Packaging Ronafix is supplied in 5 litre, 25 litre, 210 litre and 1000 litre containers. Shelf Life and Storage Ronafix should be stored unopened between 5 C and 2 5 C in dry warehouse conditions away from direct heat and sunlight. Shelf life is approximately 9 months in unopened containers. Health and Safety Ronafix is non-hazardous although protective clothing such as goggles, overalls and gloves are recommended to prevent any effect from prolonged skin contact, inhalation or ingestion. In the event of skin contact, wash with soap and water. Seek medical advice if irritation or pain occurs. In the event of eye contact, irrigate with plenty of clean water and seek immediate medical advice. In the event of ingestion, do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical advice.

11 RonaFloor Epoxy DPM Solvent free, liquid applied surface damp proof membrane FEATURES reduces project timescale can be applied on substrates with a Relative Humidity up to 97% easy to apply solvent free; low odour use prior to application of Ronacrete screeds and coatings Description RonaFloor Epoxy DPM is a two pack solvent free, liquid applied surface damp proof membrane designed to reduce the passage of water vapour. It allows epoxy resins to be placed onto concrete even when the Relative Humidity (RH) of the concrete is high up to 97%. Advantages Reduces water and water vapour permeability Reduces project timescale Excellent adhesion to concretes and screeds Can be applied on substrates with a Relative Humidity up to 97% Easy to apply Solvent free, low odour. Physical Properties Pot life Intercoat period Overcoat 2nd coat within ISAT Bond strength Dry Wet In each case failure is in the concrete. Water vapour permeability 30 minutes 24 hours 24 hours 0.0ml/m²/sec >4.0N/mm² >1.5N/mm² <3 gms/m²/day Coverage First coat m²/kg Second coat m²/kg Coverage is based on smooth, non porous surface.

12 RonaFloor Epoxy DPM Solvent free, liquid applied surface damp proof membrane Instructions for Use Surface Preparation Because RonaFloor Epoxy DPM can be covered with a bonded Ronafix or other Ronacrete modified screed or topping it is essential that the substrate is sound and stable and strong enough to restrain the screed or topping. The instructions given in the appropriate Ronacrete screed specification must therefore be followed. This includes substrate testing to BS 8204 Part 3, When mechanically abrading surfaces, vacuum blasting rather than scabbling is preferable. A heavy surface profile should be avoided in order to minimise the risk of the RonaFloor Epoxy DPM ponding or not covering high points. When overlaying with an unbonded screed surface preparation requires the substrate to be clean, sound and free of contamination including oil and dirt. If an unbonded screed is being laid on top of RonaFloor Epoxy DPM install a separating layer between the RonaFloor Epoxy DPM and screed to prevent partial adhesion. The substrate should be surface dry before the application of RonaFloor Epoxy DPM. Mixing Pour all of Hardener B into Base A container and mix thoroughly using a slow speed industrial hand drill and helical spinner. Do not mix by hand or attempt to part mix as performance will be affected. Pour onto surface and apply as described below. Any residual resin remaining on the sides or base of the mixing container should be discarded. Do not use as will not be fully mixed. Application 1. Apply the first coat of RonaFloor Epoxy DPM by squeegee or roller at the stated coverage. 2. Allow to cure until tack free - typically C. 3. Within 24 hours of applying the first coat, mix and apply the second coat of RonaFloor Epoxy DPM by squeegee or roller. 4. Within 24 hours apply the relevant RonaFloor coating/screed. 5. If not being immediately covered with a coating or screed, broadcast 60 mesh dry silica sand in to the wet resin at 2kg per m² and allow to cure. Protect dpm with boards or excess sand. Prior to overcoating remove excess sand. Overcoat within 24 hours. 6. In order to prevent the RonaFloor Epoxy DPM being damaged before it is overcoated it should be protected with either boards or excess sand left on the surface. RonaFloor Epoxy DPM can be overlaid with Ronacrete s range of epoxy floor coatings and screeds. Working Temperatures RonaFloor Epoxy DPM should not be applied at material or floor temperatures below 10 C. Above 25 C pot life will be significant ly shorter. Temperatures should not fall below 5 C in the 24 hours after applicatio n.

21 RonaFloor EWB Water based epoxy floor coating for commercial and industrial use FEATURES good resistance to a wide range of chemicals good abrasion resistance to foot and light wheeled traffic can be applied to RonaScreed Self Smooth within 3 hours and other Ronacrete screeds within 24 hours easy to apply rapid drying and chemical curing can be applied to damp sub-floors and new screeds can incorporate fine aggregate to achieve high slip resistance provides decoration; wide colour range Description RonaFloor EWB is a 2 part water based epoxy resin floor coating. It has good adhesion to a wide variety of substrates to produce a tough, hard wearing floor finish and is available in an attractive range of colours. RonaFloor EWB Coating does not contain solvents and is therefore more suitable than solvented resins for use in areas where tainting is unacceptable. Floors coated with RonaFloor EWB show good abrasion resistance to foot traffic and light wheeled vehicles. RonaFloor EWB Coating is used as a decorative or clear dust proof seal on industrial floors in food preparation areas, warehouses, breweries etc. Substrates RonaFloor EWB adheres well to concrete and granolithic surfaces. Physical Properties Pot Life Touch Dry Film Time Intercoat Period Foot traffic/fork lift traffic Full cure Thickness Ideal application temperature range Coverage Finished appearance Solids content Maximum humidity for application 1½-2 hours 4-8 hours 4-24 hours 24 hours / 3 days 7 days Nominal 50µ per coat C 35-40m² per pack per coat matt finish 41.5% by volume 80% RH Coverage is based on application to smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces. Application to porous profiled surfaces will require additional material, and possibly additional coats. See Coverage.

22 RonaFloor EWB Water based epoxy floor coating for commercial and industrial use Instructions for Use Surface Preparation To achieve maximum adhesion it is essential that RonaFloor EWB is applied to a structurally sound, clean substrate. Remove all loose material from surface and make good any surface defects by using one of the RonaFloor Repair 1 Hour mortars. The surface should be free from grease, oil, dirt etc and prepared by light vacuum shot blasting to remove laitance. The surface should then be vacuumed to remove all dust and debris. The Relative Humidity at the surface should be below 80% when measured with a hygrometer. Mixing Add full contents of hardener container to full contents of resin container and mix with a slow speed drill and spiral mixing paddle until a homogeneous colour is achieved. Typical mixing time is about 3-4 minutes. Pour the mixed material into a roller tray or onto the substrate. To avoid transfer of unmixed material to the floor resin must not be taken directly from the mixing vessel by brush or roller. Application Technique Apply by short or medium nap mohair or lambswool (not foam) roller. Push the resin well in to the surface making sure the floor is fully wetted and then pull back lightly by roller to the required thickness. Use coverage rates as a guide to thickness. It is important to apply at the specified coverage rate and thickness; if a coat is applied too thin the coating may not properly cure and will have a shortened life expectancy. If applied too thick it may crack and blister. For slip resistant properties scatter RonaFloor A/S Aggregate Fine Grade within the first coat of RonaFloor EWB and allow to cure. Remove any excess aggregate by brush or vacuum and apply a further 1 or 2 coats of RonaFloor EWB. On porous and uneven substrates more than two or three coats of RonaFloor EWB may be required. Special attention should be paid to ensure pooling of RonaFloor EWB is avoided in depressed areas. Do not use where air and substrate temperatures are below 10 C. Limitations RonaFloor EWB is normally applied at an overall thickness of 100 microns. Its wear capability is good compared to floor paints but it should not be used in areas where high wear is expected; RonaFloor HB100 or HB200 should be considered instead. RonaFloor EWB, in common with all other epoxy resin products, will soften when subjected to temperatures of 65 o C and above. Repeated exposure to high temperature will weaken the product and cause it to debond. Slight variations in surface colour may be experienced when floor areas are coated in different temperature and atmospheric conditions, this is typical of water based epoxy coatings. Coverage Use coverage rates as a guide to thickness. It is important to apply at the specified coverage rate and thickness; if a coat is applied too thin the coating may

23 RonaFloor EWB Water based epoxy floor coating for commercial and industrial use Coverage (continued) not properly cure and will have a shortened life expectancy and poor opacity and appearance. If applied too thick it may crack and blister. The coverage quoted in the Technical Data makes no allowance for substrate texture or porous substrates. On porous substrates, full opacity may require the application of three or more coats. Actual coverage rates will vary from site to site and can only be accurately determined by site trials and after allowing full cure to take place prior to assessment. Cleaning Brushes and tools should be cleaned immediately with water. Colours RonaFloor EWB is available in a range of colours; refer to colour chart available on request. Special colours available on request. Chemical Resistance Good resistance to a wide range of chemicals including Skydrol and jet fuel. Refer to our Ronacrete Technical Department for advice. Maintenance of Colour Consistency To achieve optimum performance and appearance in shade and sheen, store and apply RonaFloor EWB at a constant ambient temperature, humidity and with the same air movement throughout the project. Avoid storage and application at air, substrate and material temperatures below 10 o C. Packs of RonaFloor EWB should be used in strict batch rotation. Individual areas or rooms should be treated with material from a single batch to avoid the inevitable minor variations in shade resulting from batch manufacture, otherwise matched batches should be used to minimise these variations (an extract from FeRFA Guide to the Specification and Application of Synthetic Resin Flooring). Minimise these variations (an extract from FeRFA Guide To The Specification And Application Of Synthetic Resin Flooring). RonaFloor EWB provides a durable and economical decorative coating. Where higher performance is required and where surface appearance is more important, other coatings such as RonaFloor HB100 are recommended. Osmotic Blistering In rare instances, osmotic blistering can occur when synthetic resin floor coatings are applied. FeRFA Guidance Note No 2: Osmosis in Resin Flooring ISBN ) provides guidance on steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of osmotic blistering.

RonaFloor HB100 Rapid, HB200 Rapid and HB Vertical Grade Rapid can be foot trafficked after only 4-6 hours (standard grade: hours) and by fork truck traffic after hours (24-48 hours). The Rapid Grade has a shorter working time and pot life and material must therefore be mixed close to the area of application. The mixed resin must be immediately discharged onto the floor and spread before it begins to cure. Typical Applications RonaFloor HB100 and HB200 coatings are used in areas requiring good wear and chemical resistance. They are suitable for use in chemical plant storage areas, warehousing, toilets, laboratories & food preparation areas. They adhere well to concrete, granolithic and polymer floors. Instructions for Use Substrate Preparation To achieve maximum adhesion it is essential that RonaFloor HB coatings are applied to a structurally sound, clean and dry substrate. Prepare the surface by removing all loose material and making good any structural defects (for fast cure repairs refer to RonaFloor Repair 1 Hour data sheet). Substrates must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil, dirt, laitance and loose or friable materials. New concrete or screeds should be allowed to dry out for at least 28 days prior to coating. RH at the surface must be below 75% when measured with a Hygrometer, or have a moisture content less than 5%. Laitance must be removed by light mechanical abrasion such as vacuum shot blasting. The surface should then be vacuum cleaned, to remove loose shot and other loose materials. Application Conditions The workability and ease of application of RonaFloor HB100 and 200 are adversely affected by low temperature; viscosity and curing time will increase. Therefore the material should ideally be stored, mixed and applied at 15 C to 20 C. At lower application temperatures the material should be stored at or warmed to 15 C to 20 C prior to use. Do not use when air and substrate temperature is below 10 C.

28 RonaFloor HB100, HB200, HB Vertical Grade Medium and high build solvent free epoxy floor coating systems Instructions for Use (continued) Substrate Priming When applying to porous concrete it is advisable to seal the prepared surface with RonaFloor Epoxy Primer, coverage up to 5.5m² per kg depending on porosity. Mixing Add full contents of hardener container to full contents of resin container and mix with a slow speed drill and spiral mixing paddle until a homogeneous colour is achieved. Typical mixing time is 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a shallow paint tray immediately after mixing to dissipate heat to prolong pot life and extend working time. This is of even greater importance when using Rapid Grade Application Apply by short or medium nap mohair or lambswool (not foam) roller directly from a paint tray. Push the resin well in to the surface making sure the floor is fully wetted and then pull back lightly with the roller to the required thickness. Monitor applied thickness with a wet film thickness gauge. Cleaning Brushes and tools should be cleaned immediately with xylene based solvent. Slip Resistance Sprinkle A/S Aggregate onto the first coat whilst wet at the rate of approximately 1 to 2kg per m² and allow to cure. Brush or vacuum excess A/S Aggregate and apply second coat to achieve desired profile. Coverage rate for RonaFloor HB100 and 200 on to A/S Aggregate will be considerably reduced. The use of A/S Aggregate will reduce the ease with which the floor can be cleaned and the use of scrubber/ dryers should be considered. Colours RonaFloor HB coatings are supplied in a range of colours, refer to colour chart available on request. Colour Variations Packs should be used in strict batch rotation. Individual areas or rooms should be treated with material from a single batch to avoid the inevitable minor variations in shade resulting from batch manufacture, otherwise matched batches should be used to minimise these variations (an extract from FeRFA Guide To The Specification And Application Of Synthetic Resin Flooring). Osmotic Blistering In a few cases severe blistering of thin synthetic resin floorings can occur between 3 months and two years after laying. These blisters commonly vary in size from a few mm in diameter up to 100 mm, with heights up to 15 mm. When drilled into or otherwise broken the blisters are found to contain an aqueous liquid under very high pressure. The mechanism of their formation is not fully understood but it is assumed because of their physical state that they are caused by a process of osmosis. Because the mechanism is not fully understood it is not

However it is considered good practice to take steps in order to minimise the risk (an extract from FeRFA Guidance Note No 2: Osmosis in Resin Flooring ISBN ). Packaging RonaFloor HB100 and 200 and Vertical Grade are supplied in 5kg packs. Shelf Life and Storage RonaFloor HB100 and HB200 should be stored in unopened containers in dry warehouse conditions between 10 C and 25 C and prot ected from direct sunlight and frost. Shelf life is approximately 12 months in these conditions. To achieve optimum performance and appearance in shade and sheen, store and apply material at a constant ambient temperature, humidity and with the same air movement throughout the project. Avoid storage and application at air, substrate and material temperatures below 10 o C. Health and Safety First aid - Skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water. Eye contact - wash immediately with copious quantities of water for 10 minutes. Seek immediate medical advice. Ingestion - wash mouth thoroughly with water. Drink water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical advice. Spillage - extinguish any ignition sources. Wash small spills away with water, soak large spills with earth or sand; avoid contact; inform authorities of major spillage occurs. Notify Fire Brigade if spillage enters drains.

Limitations must not be applied onto wet surfaces do not use RonaFloor PU Coating near naked flame protect from rain and adverse weather until fully cured adhesion is reduced on non-porous surfaces such as glazed tiles do not apply WB grade with a synthetic pile roller. Instructions for Use Surface Preparation Thoroughly clean all surfaces to remove loose material, dirt, dust, grime etc. Remove any standing water to leave the surface as dry as possible. Any moss, algae or fungal growth should be treated with Fongimousse Plus followed by hosing and stiff brushing. Method of Application 1. RonaFloor PU Coatings are supplied ready to use; no dilution is required. 2. Apply RonaFloor PU Coating by roller to ensure a complete membrane is formed without breaks or pinholes. 3. Apply RonaFloor PU Coating WB by sponge roller or portable airless spray equipment suitable for application of emulsion and resin based paints. Do not use synthetic pile rollers as they may leave surface tram lines. 4. Apply evenly, recognising that uneven application may result in visible roller marks and shading. 5. Two coats are normally sufficient to seal concrete of normal porosity, porous concrete may require at least three coats. Porous screeds and renders may require four or more coats. When applying coloured RonaFloor PU Coating to concrete, three coats may be required to achieve full opacity. 6. Avoid pooling, ponding and over-treating as this will create a surface glaze. 7. When attempting to consolidate porous and friable surfaces such as screeds or renders, apply successive coats to satisfy the porosity of the surface and until no more is absorbed. The degree to which such surfaces can be improved is variable and dependent on factors including the make up of the surface, the size and nature of pores, the original strength and stability of the surface. Application of this type is not always successful. Packaging RonaFloor PU Coating is supplied in 5 litre and 22 litre drums and RonaFloor PU Coating is are supplied in 5 litre cans and 25 litre drums.

Instructions for Use Surface Preparation To achieve maximum adhesion it is essential that RonaFloor SL is applied to a structurally sound, clean substrate. Remove all loose material from the surface and make good any structural defects (refer to Ronadeck or Monoset data sheet). The surface should be cleaned of grease, oil, dirt, laitance etc by chemical cleaning and/or light grit or shot blasting. It is good practice on such surfaces, new or old, to remove laitance. The surface should then be vacuumed to remove dust and debris. Substrate Testing The substrate must have a compressive strength not less than 25N/mm² and a direct tensile pull off strength greater than 1N/mm² after preparation. Substrate moisture content should not exceed 6% when tested with a Protimeter. The surface relative humidity should be less than 75% when measured with a hygrometer. Uneven surfaces should be levelled prior to the application of RonaFloor SL using an appropriate Ronacrete levelling screed eg. Ronascreed or Ronafix. Please consult the Ronacrete Technical Department for further information.

37 RonaFloor SL Self-smoothing seamless epoxy resin flooring system Instructions for Use (continued) Priming Epoxy Primer is a two part priming system comprising resin and hardener. Mix the total contents of the hardener with the resin and apply at a coverage rate of 0.18kg/m 2. Allow to cure for between 12 and 24 hours and apply the RonaFloor SL. Depending on the quality and porosity of the substrate, additional primer coats may be required. Mixing RonaFloor SL is a three component system comprising resin, hardener and specially graded aggregates. Mix the complete contents of the resin and hardener in a forced action mixer until a uniform colour then slowly add the aggregate. Mix all components for at least 5 minutes. Incomplete mixing will impair the flow properties of the material; therefore ensure that the product is thoroughly mixed before application. Application Pour the mixed RonaFloor SL onto the cured primer and spread with a notched trowel to a thickness of 2-3mm. Ensure all depressions in the substrate are filled. Having achieved the desired levels spike roller the RonaFloor SL to allow any trapped air to escape. It may be necessary to carry out this operation more than once but ensure that the material will fully recover before spike rolling the surface again. Always place adjacent mixes of RonaFloor SL against a wet edge. Note: spiked shoes should be worn. Slip Resistance To improve the level of slip resistance broadcast RonaFloor Slip Resistant Aggregate in to the top surface of RonaFloor SL before it loses workability - typically within 30 minutes of laying. Temperature The workability and flow characteristics of RonaFloor SL will vary according to temperature. Ideally store, mix and apply at o C. Avoid using when air and substrate temperatures are below 10 C. At high temp eratures (> 25 o C) the flow rate will be higher and pot life will be shorter. Note Do not attempt to lay RonaFloor SL at product, air or substrate temperature below 10 o C. Do not apply external heat until the RonaFloor SL has firmed up. Like most resin systems RonaFloor SL should not be used if the substrate does not have an effective damp proof membrane. If a dpm is required refer to the RonaFloor Epoxy DPM technical data sheet. This product is a carefully formulated blend of resin, hardener and other chemicals, it is designed to be applied as sold. Any on-site dilution, however small, can affect the physical characteristics of the final finish as well as the application properties and curing times. The product has been designed to be used as a full pack. Part mixing is not recommended.

41 RonaFloor Stone Carpet Resin bound aggregate system for decorative internal floor surfacing FEATURES exposed natural or coloured aggregate finish quieter than other hard floorings warmer than other hard floorings more comfortable under foot than other hard floorings easily cleaned very durable UV stable resin will not yellow or darken recycled aggregates available anti-slip surface dressing available for wet areas may be surface sealed if required Description RonaFloor Stone Carpet is a resin bound aggregate surface for pedestrians and for occasional use by light vehicles. It is used to create decorative and durable surfaces which are seamless and slightly flexible. The surfacing will withstand heavy footfall, light traffic from trolleys and even occasional powered vehicles. Noise from foot traffic is lower than for other hard floorings with noise being absorbed and baffled by the voids. Warm air in the voids makes the surfacing warmer than solid hard flooring and the slight give in the system provides a more comfortable experience for pedestrians. RonaFloor Stone Carpet must be laid onto a sound, stable and solid base such as concrete.

Cheaper systems will yellow and darken, significantly affecting the appearance. The performance and appearance of the finished surface is dependent on the aggregates, only correctly blended kiln-dried aggregates of sufficient crushing strength should be used. The RonaFloor Stone Carpet aggregate blends have been designed to achieve strength, wear resistance and decoration. Appearance Samples and materials supplied by Ronacrete are subject to the normal shade and grading variations associated with quarrying and processing of natural aggregates. Uniformity of colour and size of aggregate should not be expected and cannot be achieved. Where wheeled traffic is expected, darker aggregate blends are less likely to show tyre marks. Cleaning RonaFloor Stone Carpet is easily cleaned with a standard vacuum cleaner and because dust settles into the voids below the surface, a clean appearance will be retained for a longer period. Liquid spill are removed with a wet & dry vacuum cleaner. Maintenance Impact damage or severe stress may cause picking out of some stones but is likely to be minimal and localised. Any major loss of stone should be reported. Localised damage may be repaired. Ageing and weathering of the original surfacing may prevent an invisible repair.

43 RonaFloor Stone Carpet Resin bound aggregate system for decorative internal floor surfacing Slip Resistance Application of RonaFloor Stone Carpet Anti-Slip Aggregate will significantly increase the slip resistance of the surface in wet areas such as changing rooms, without substantial change to appearance and its use will help comply with Health and Safety obligations. Contractors RonaFloor Stone Carpet is a specialist product and must only be applied by specialist applicators known to Ronacrete, contractor names can be supplied on request. RonaFloor Stone carpet must only be applied by contractors who can demonstrate that they possess the necessary skills and experience. Instructions for Use Substrate Requirements Only apply to a suitable substrate which is capable of supporting and restraining the RonaFloor Stone Carpet. The best substrate is a well designed, constructed and prepared concrete or screed that achieves a tensile pull off strength no lower than 1.5N/mm². Application to any other surface is likely to result in early failure. If you are unsure of the substrate and its ability to receive RonaFloor Stone Carpet, do not proceed until advice has been taken. RonaFloor Stone Carpet is a thin layer of 6mm minimum thickness or more, depending on the aggregate size. It may therefore mirror and reflect any surface unevenness. Substrates should therefore be levelled or smoothed as required, using the appropriate Ronacrete levelling medium, to ensure that the required finish is achieved. Preparation and Priming of Substrate 1. Remove any laitance and provide a light surface texture 2. Ensure the substrate is clean and dry. 3. RonaFloor Stone Carpet Sealer/ Primer is a two part system. 4. Pour the contents of Part B into the Part A bucket and mix for approximately 3 minutes. 5. Apply a uniform coat by roller to the substrate at the rate of 0.14kg per m 2 and immediately scatter with 16/30 kiln-dried sand at approximately 0.1kg per m 2. This provides a key for laying RonaFloor Stone Carpet. On porous substrates more than one coat of primer may be required. 6. Allow the Primer/Sealer to harden, before laying RonaFloor Stone Carpet. (this may take 24 hours at 20 o C) Application of RonaFloor Stone Carpet. 1. Only use RonaFloor Stone Carpet aggregate 2. Only apply to a correctly primed substrate. 3.

It s pot life and working time is affected by the temperature of the material, air and substrate. At temperatures above 25 C the pot life and working time may be insufficient to allow its proper application. Work should therefore not proceed when product, air or substrate temperature exceed 25 C. At low temperatures the resin will not flow sufficiently to achieve a smooth finish and work should not proceed when air, material or substrate temperature is below 5 o C. Between 5 and 10 0 C materials should be kept warm before use. Shelf Life and Storage Shelf life of RonaFloor Stone Carpet Resin is 6 months, aggregates have an unlimited shelf life. Store materials in clean, dry, frost free warehouse conditions between 5 o C and 25 o C. Protect from sunlight.
