GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Two component, colored, aliphatic, glossy finish, polyurethane solvent-based resin for decoration, flooring and protection of Tecnocoat  y Desmopol waterproofing liquid systems. Once dried, it forms a hard, strong seamless and continuous film, with excellent adhesion and mechanical properties, resistant to weathering, extreme temperatures, resistant to the UV radiation. It is suitable for surfaces and areas in contact with chlorinated and salines waters, even immersion use that is particularly suitable for the lining of pools, lakes, or aquatic areas.
• Resistant in contact with water in swimming pools or aquariums, with chlorine or cleaning salt.
• When applying to swimming pools and ponds, do not fill with water until 7 days after applying the last layer of Tecnotop 2CP, in order to complete the product's curing process.
• The addition of pool cleaning products and/or similar must be done using automatic regulated mixing equipment; never add these products directly to the applied surface of Tecnotop 2CP because it will damage it by discoloring the surface.
• It is delivered in any non-metallic RAL color (check the delivery conditions of minimum quantities in the price list)
• In the case of the translucent version, the coloring is carried out by adding the two components, previously mixed, of Pigments PU (20% by weight)
• Suitable for ponding water, on a variety of surfaces: concrete, mortar, steel/metal, cement, plywood, ceramics, Tecnocoat and Desmopol  membranes (for UV rays protection)
• It must be applied in sound and resistant substrates, with no presence of humidity/water on the surface whether at the time of application or subsequently (pressure from phreatic water level, damp-water). In the event there is humidity in the substrate at the moment of application, use some of our primers. 
• The final product is obtained by mixing 100% of the two components. If only part of the product is used, make sure that this ratio is always maintained to ensure that the final result retains the product's best qualities.
• Use the same batch of product in each area of application to avoid the minimum and possible color change.

MIXING PROCEDURE

These are the steps for the correct mixing of both components:

• open pails of both components and homogenize each one by mixing equipment at medium speed
• in the case of Tecnotop 2CP neutral, add the supplied amount of Pigments PU (20%) to component A, and mix until a homogeneous color is achieved using an electric mixer at medium speed; then add and mix component B
• in the case of Tecnotop 2CP delivered already pigmented, pour component B into the container of component A
• mix using electric mixing equipment at medium speed, until a homogeneous product is obtained
• in case of doubt, apply in a limited area to check

APPLICATION METHOD

The following factors prior to application should be checked:

• previous preparation of the substrate according to its type
• existing holes or areas with a lack of material must be repaired using some or our epoxy resins: Primer EP-1020/Primer EP-1010
• joint fillings with Mastic PU
• in existing dilatations joints: remove old material, clean, and fill with Mastic PU. Use also Tecnoband 100 to cover, if necessary.
• general cleaning of the substrate, removing existing dust, dirt, grease, or efflorescence

TECNOCOAT/DESMOPOL, waterproofing membranes substrates

• clean up the surface or substrate, removing any dust, dirt, grease, or efflorescence
• primer application, recommended Primer PU-1050/Primer PUc-1050/Primer PU-1030/Primer EPw-1070, with approximate consumption of 50~100 g/m² only if more than 24~48 hours have passed since the initial application of the membranes.
• apply thin coats by a short nap acrylic wool roller or "airless" equipment
• wait 5-6 days (at 25ºC/77ºF), for water filling

Cement or concrete substrates

• the concrete must be completely cured (the curing process is 28 days), or in any case, it is necessary to check the maximum degree of moisture permittivity of the substrate depending on the primer to be used
• processes to prepare the substrate (sanding, polishing, shot-blasting or milling) to remove surface laitance, and release agents, as well as to open the surface pore and achieve a suitable anchoring profile.
• Existing holes or areas with a lack of material must be repaired using some of our epoxy resins: Primer EP-1020/Primer EP-1010.
• joint filling with Mastic PU
• in existing work joints: empty of old material, clean and fill with Mastic PU. Complement the joints with Tecnoband 100 if necessary.
• cleaning of the substrate, removing existing dust, dirt, grease or efflorescence by mechanical suction
• primer application, recommended Primer EP-1020, Primer EP-1010, total consumption approx. 300-350 g/sqm, or Primer WET with a total consumption of 5000 g/sqm. The use of a 100% solids epoxy resins is highly recommended to create a barrier to the transmission of water vapor originating directly or in osmotic processes.
• apply thin coats by a short nap acrylic wool roller or "airless" equipment
• wait 5-6 days (at 25ºC/77ºF), for water filling

Ceramic substrates

• light-sanding of the surface. This action will open the pore, clean of adhered efflorescence or dirt, and regularization of the surface by extracting the raised or unattached areas, without adding water.
• ceramic substrate there should be no empty joints, elements, or loose pieces. They must be filled with Mastic PU, or with some of our epoxy resins: Primer EP-1020/Primer EP-1010; also use cementitious materials.
• joint filling with Mastic PU
• in existing work joints: empty of old material, clean and fill with Mastic PU. Complement the joints with Tecnoband 100 if necessary.
• cleaning of the substrate, removing existing dust, dirt, grease or efflorescence by mechanical suction
• primer application, recommended Primer EP-1040, total consumption approx. 100-150 g/m² (applied in several thin layers). The use of 100% solid epoxy resins is highly recommended to create a barrier to the transmission of water vapor originating directly or in osmotic processes.
• apply thin coats by a short nap acrylic wool roller or "airless" equipment
• wait 5-6 days (at 25ºC/77ºF), for water filling

Painted surfaces

• if the existing paint is in good condition, clean its surface with a mixture of water and an industrial detergent, wait to dry
• If the situation of the existing paint is not optimal sanding of the surface will be carried out, to avoid the contribution of water to the substrate. This action will open the pore, clean of adhered efflorescence or dirt, and regularization of the surface by extracting the raised or unattached areas, without adding water.
• cleaning of the substrate, removing existing dust, dirt, grease or efflorescence by mechanical suction
• primer application, recommended Primer EP-1020, Primer EP-1010, total consumption approx. 250-350 g/m², or Primer WET with a total consumption of 450 g/m². The use of 100% solid epoxy resins is highly recommended to create a barrier to the transmission of water vapor originating directly or in osmotic processes.
• apply thin coats by a short nap acrylic wool roller or "airless" equipment
• wait 5-6 days (at 25ºC/77ºF), for water filling

APPLICATION FINISHINGS

If desired, an anti-slip finish can be created with the following methods:

Multilayer method with SILICA SAND

• application of a first one by means of a short-nap acrylic wool roller or "airless" type equipment and carried out in thin coats(approximate consumption of 70-100 g/sqm/coat)
• spreading on the wet substrate Silica Sand in the consumption desired by the customer. Hence an anti-slip surface is achieved to enable the system to have a degree of slip resistance.
• wait for it to dry and remove the aggregate not adhered to the surface; refill with aggregates areas not defined correctly, if necessary
• vacuum up non-adhering aggregates
• application of a second coat by short nap acrylic wool roller or "airless" equipment and carried out in thin coats (approximate consumption of 150 g/sqm/coat)

Addition of TECNOPLASTIC F/C
