Containment Application
ARCOR EE-79 & EE-11
EE-79
EE-79 can be used as both a primer and a
rebuild.
Use as is for a primer. Mix by volume, 2 parts Base to
1 part Activator. The kits we provide are pre-measured
and ready to mix. Pour the Activator (smaller
container) into the Base and mix with a drill &
jiffy mixer attachment. A 5 gal size jiffy mixer is
readily available at any Home Depot or Wal-Mart. Mix until the product is a consistent color with no
streaks. For application of a 4.5 Gallon kit it is best to have
a minimum of 2 men ready to roll or squeegee apply. For rolling on concrete use a heavy nap roller such as
1". An 18" roller is good for large areas
(they are available at Home Depot). An alternative is
to use an 18-24" floor squeegee. This works
faster if you have a relatively smooth floor. For a
rough floor stick with the Rollers. The EE-79 is self-leveling so as you roll or pull it
out it quickly smooths out. To get the longest working life of the product it is
best to get it poured out as quickly as possible.
Don't pour it all in one spot, but pour it out over
the immediate area you are in. A 4.5 gallon kit will
cover approx. 300-400 square feetso keep this in mind
as you pour it out. We find it helpful when working on large areas to
where metal spike golf shoes. This allows you to walk
over even coated areas as you apply. As long as the
product is still wet it will immediately fill in the
spike holes. It makes much easier to get around.
EE-79
can be used as a rebuild material.
We mix it with sand or Sakrete/Quikcrete to fill in
larger pits & voids on the floor to level before
applying the primer coat. We start with a 60 lb bag and mix with (1.5) gallon of
mixed EE-79. First add the sand to a plastic mixing
trough. ( $4.67 for a Black Plastic one at Home
Depot). Mix the EE-79 and add 1/2 to the sand and mix
with a trowel add the rest and continue to mix until
you get a slurry. If the mix is too wet or too dry
adjust the sand amount as needed in the next
batches. Use the slurry like cement to fill/patch the floor
area. The benefit to this method is it minimizes the
amount of material to fill a void because sand is
cheap. It does cost more than cement but with this 'ARCRETE'
mix you don't have to wait for 30+ days for it to cure
for coating. With this ARCRETE you can coat over it as
soon as it tacks up. At 75F you could coat over it in
as little as 6 hours.
EE-11
The EE-11 is a chemical resistant coating. It
is much thicker than the EE-79 and it does not
self-level. This means you will have to smooth it as
you go and it will cure to look as you leave it. EE-11 also has a much shorter working life so mix only
one (1) Gallon kit at a time and have 2 men to apply
it. If the ambient air temperature is 80F or higher we
would suggest having 3 men to apply one gallon. For application use a short nap, 1/8",
7-9" roller head. Also use hard plastic hand
squeegees. We find it easier to have 1 guy roll
apply and another 1-2 guys working the product in and
smoothing it behind him.
If you find that you are having a difficult time
getting an entire gallon applied completely before it
starts to stiffen then you can add some Acetone to
slow the cure and loosen the mix so its easier
to apply.
