System Compatibility and Use Context
EASYFLO™ 85 integrates seamlessly as a topcoat for various decorative concrete coatings and chip flooring systems. It requires an appropriate primer when you apply it directly to bare concrete or cementitious overlays. Don’t apply this product when relative humidity exceeds 80 percent or when temperatures fall outside the 60 to 90 degree Fahrenheit range.
Installation and Application Overview
Installers must prepare the surface according to ICRI Guideline No. 310.2R and ensure the concrete pH is nine or above. Mix the two-part system using a low-speed drill with a Jiffy Mixer paddle for two minutes. Pour the mixed material in ribbons and use a flat or notched squeegee to spread it evenly across the substrate. Back roll and cross roll the material immediately to achieve a uniform finish. Clean all tools immediately with acetone after you finish the installation.
