BIO-CHEM\u2122 156<\/strong> is a solvent-free, highly adhesive flooring system designed for application over surfaces such as existing vinyl tiles and concrete. Finished thickness is typically 35 \u2013 55 mils, which provides excellent wearability in a variety of colors and textures. The BIOCHEM\u2122 156<\/strong> epoxy binder is extremely tough and has excellent resistance to a broad range of aggressive chemicals.<\/p>\n

BIO-CHEM\u2122 156<\/strong> is an extremely versatile system offering a choice of several hardwearing texture aggregates. All formulations are solvent free to eliminate the odor and explosion hazards of epoxy solvents. The system can be installed adjacent to other trades without objection resulting in minimum downtime and disruption.<\/p>\n

BIO-CHEM\u2122 156<\/strong> is designed for applications such as loading docks, battery rooms and material handling areas exposed to aggressive physical and chemical exposures.[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Recommended Uses” _builder_version=”4.4.1″]<\/p>\n

LOADING DOCKS<\/strong>
Generally used with aluminum oxide abrasive for maximum durability and traction. Reduces sweating following sudden changes in weather from cold to hot and humid.<\/p>\n

CHEMICAL HANDLING AREAS<\/strong>
Resistant to 98% sulfurice acid and moist industrial chemicals.<\/p>\n

FOOD PROCESSING FACILITIES<\/strong>
Meets USDA FSIS Directive 11,000.4 \u201cApproval Of Paints and Coatings Used in Official Establishments\u201d dated 8\/12\/94 for floors.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Application Notes” _builder_version=”4.4.1″]<\/p>\n

SURFACE PREPARATION:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This may be accomplished in several ways:<\/p>\n

New Concrete:<\/strong> leave to cure properly for a minimum of 20 days before coating. Weak surface laitance must be removed by either; acid etching or abrasive blasting. (Note: acid etching can be difficult and unreliable unless performed with particular attention to proper acid application, scrubbing, rinsing, and drying.) Abrasive blasting, (recommended), may be effected by conventional open blasting or with \u201cBlastrac\u201d\u00ae type centrifugal equipment. The concrete surface after preparation should have the granular appearance of medium sandpaper.<\/p>\n

Aged Concrete:<\/strong> best prepared by abrasive blasting. If contaminated, contact Thin Film Technology, Inc. for advice.<\/p>\n

APPLICATION: <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Follow the sequence described below:<\/p>\n

Primer, or Base Coat<\/strong> is applied at a spreading rate of 100sq.ft.\/gal to yield a wet film of approximately 16mils. Application is made by pouring a mixed two-gallon kit over a roughly measured 200sq.ft. area then spreading using long handled squeegees followed by final backrolling. The formulation is self-leveling and will flow out to level most surface irregularities within a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Aggregate<\/strong> is applied at a rate of 0.3 \u2013 0.5lbs\/sq.ft.either \u201cchicken-feeding\u201d by hand or by a mechanical aggregate spreader. The object is to \u201cover-seed\u201d or to apply enough aggregate to completely saturate the wet coating film leaving unabsorbed grains on the surface. Aggregate is spread within minutes of the primer coating application while it is still uncured and quite liquid. Aggregate selection is made according the anticipated service and colored desired. Aluminum oxide is the preferred material for severe mechanical service applications especially where good traction is required. On loading docks a 36-mesh grit will give satisfactory results however on ramps use the coarser 24 or even 14 mesh material. Quartz sand will give good service in light traffic areas however it will be quickly worn smooth when exposed to heavy wear from steel wheels, drum, etc.<\/p>\n

Remove the excess aggregate<\/strong> by brushing with a stiff yard broom when the film has hardened sufficiently \u2013 this will be after about five hours at 77\u00b0F. The surface exposed after brooming will be flat and uniform. Loose grains left on the surface will be incorporated in the film when the coat is applied, if an extremely smooth surface is required these grains should be removed by vacuuming.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> repeat base coat\/grit application to increase the thickness of the system in areas where particularly heavy mechanical wear is anticipated. This step will increase the thickness of the overall system by approximately 30 mils to a total thickness of approximately 65 mils.<\/p>\n

Glaze or Sealer<\/strong> application is made following the same pour\/squeegee\/roll method used for the primer coat at a spreading rate of about 100sq.ft.\/gallon.<\/p>\n

CURING BEFORE SERVICE: <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Allow 12 hours curing at 77\u00b0F before initial service, which includes rolling, but not spinning, wheeled traffic. Unlimited service is possible after about 24 hours @ 77\u00b0F with \u201cfull cure\u201d about 3 days after the last coating application.<\/p>\n
