THE PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF

Napfloor EP-200 SL

METHOD STATEMENT: Napfloor EP-200 SL

MEDIUM AND HEAVY DUTY

1. SUBSTRATE PREPARATION:
1.1. The methods of substrate preparation are, captive blasting, water jetting, scarifying or surface
grinding, If any part of the floor is contaminated by oil, grease or fuel, the contamination shall be
removed before other forms of preparation is undertaken.

1.2. Prepare the concrete substrate using the chosen method, removing all laitance and weak or
friable concrete. The finished surface should have a profile of medium to coarse sandpaper.
Surface defects exposed during preparation such as shrinkage cracks, blow holes, minor
honeycombs,… etc. shall be filled with Napfloor EPS- Putty a two component surface filler. But
for Larger repairs and leveling in the floor can be carried out using Napfloor EP-Putty a
thyrotrophic two component surface filler or by Naplevel EP 210 Cementitious self leveling
compound .

1.3. Remove old joint sealant if installed, and install new one if required.
1.4. When floor preparation is complete, vacuum the area to remove all dust and debris, Protect
areas where needed by masking tape from paint spillage.

2. SURFACE SEALING & PRIMING:

2.1. The concrete substrate for Napfloor EP-200 SL Heavy Duty must be primed using
Napfloor P-120 two component medium viscosity solvent free epoxy resin primer. Mix the two
components Part A with Part B approx. 2 - 3 minutes using a slow speed drill (300-400 rpm) fitted
with a spiral mixing paddle until a uniform mix achieved.
2.2. Depending on the substrate roughness, use a short or medium pile roller to apply the mixed
material to the prepared substrate ensuring total coverage. Application rates will vary depending
on the substrate profile roughness and absorption / porosity of the concrete substrate, any dry
spots should be resealed/re-primed.

2.3. Allow the sealer coat to cure to a tack free state before starting application of
the topcoat.
3. APPLICATION PROCEDURES:

3.1. Before application of the coating, ensure that all paint team and materials are ready, ensure that
the mixing equipment is adequate; A slow speed (300-400 rpm) electric drill is most
commonly used for mixing this type of product
3.2. Do not start the application if the substrate and air temperatures are less than 12°C.
Ideally the temperatures should be in the range of 18-35°C. Relative humidity is greater
than 85%, surface moisture level should be less than 5%

3.3. Avoid application in direct sunlight to prevent pin-holing, during hot weather it is preferable to
apply in the late afternoon or early morning, when temperature is falling.
3.4. Napfloor EP-200 SL can be applied using notched trowels, squeegees; nail spreaders and Spike
shoes are required for finishing and leveling the coating.

4. MIXING: Napfloor EP-200 SL

4.1 Thoroughly mix the base component Part A until uniform, add the Hardener component Part
B, mixing the two components together using a slow speed (300-400 rpm) drill fitted with a
suitable mixing paddle. Mix for one minute, before adding the filler Part C whilst continuing to
mix until a uniform mixture free of streaks or lumps obtained.

5. APPLICATION : Napfloor EP-200 SL, Smooth or Anti-slip finish

5.1. Pour the ready mixed material on the primed floor, spread the material using suitable tools like
notched trowel, pin spreader, squeegee, level it, then press and finish using spike roller for air
release and leveling, spiked shoes will be required for finishing.
N.B.: for anti-slip finish, after leveling by spike roller done, sprinkle the aggregates creating an
anti-slip finish. Allow for 12 to 24 hours for curing than remove the excess aggregates by vacuum
or sweeping with a stiff brush. Recovered aggregates may be re-used if clean and dry.

5.2. After surface is ready and clean from excess aggregates apply the topcoat epoxy for interior,
aliphatic polyurethane for exterior or exposed areas.

5.3. Allow to cure after 24 hrs before applying line marking National Acrylic Road Marking, after
marking and masking tape done apply 2 coats of line marking paint at thickness 50 to 100 mic
N.B.: option of reflective glass beads application on wet line marking paint.

N.B.: Excessive application of the aggregates may increase the consumption of material
for the subsequent coats..
NB: Application rates may vary depending on the substrate profile roughness and
absorption / porosity of the concrete.
