Recommended process for using resin/Microglas® Glass Flake compound

Preparation of the substrate:
Any uneven joints should be ground flat and sandblasted. If sandblasting is not appropriate , any other rust removing process is sufficient.

In the case of a concrete substrate, holes should be filled. The surface should be sandblasted or ground flat, dried thoroughly, and washed with an acid solution if necessary.

The finished surface roughness should be within the range of 50 ~ 100µm

   
   
Primary coating:
It is usual for the primary coating to be the same resin as that to be used for the main coating. It is recommended that the priming coat be applied with brush, roller or airless spray, to a thickness of 30 ~ 40µm
  Secondary coating:
The secondary coating, containing the glass flake, is normally applied to a thickness of 700 ~ 1000µm; however thicknesses up to 2mm should be applied in very corrosive environments. Application is normally by trowel or airless spray. A typical Microglas® Glass Flake to resin loading is 24 ~ 30% by weight. After the secondary coat has hardened, a further coat of 200 ~ 350µm thickness can be applied if required.
     
Top coating:
A final finishing coat is applied, if necessary.
  Inspection:
the coating surface should be checked for the presence of surface roughness, air bubbles or any foreign matter.
     
Pinhole test:
The presence of pin-holes in the coating should be checked with a pin-hole detector.
  Thickness:
An electronic thickness gauge should be used to check that the coating is within specification.
     
Hardness:
Hardness of the coating surface should be checked with a Barcol hardness tester.
