How to Use

Apply the neat self-priming coat by rubber squeegee and back-roll with a short-nap epoxy roller to 150-250 microns DFT, then coat at 0.8-1.2 mm over the tacky primerConfirm the substrate is structurally sound, clean and dry and free of laitance, oils, grease, sealers, curing compounds, release agents, unsound coatings, dust and efflorescence
Prepare concrete by diamond grinding or shot blasting to a surface profile of CSP 2-4 and vacuum clean thoroughly
Reinstate damaged and spalled concrete with the FORSPEC concrete repair system such as FORBUILD 100 or FORCRETE 100 and allow all repairs to cure before coating
Confirm substrate moisture content is 4% or less and that the surface temperature is at least 3C above the dew point
Chase static fine cracks to a clean, square-edged reglet, vacuum, and fill flush with ACTFLEX CRYSTAL BOND mixed with dry fine quartz to a paste consistency
Rectify structural and live cracks with PROBOND 1100, CRACK PRO 1200PS or CRACKLOCK E400L before the field application proceeds
Pre-condition both components to 18-30C, then mix 3 parts Part A to 1 part Part B by volume at 300-400 RPM for 3-4 minutes
Decant into a clean container and re-mix for 30-60 seconds using the double-pot method
Apply the neat self-priming coat by rubber squeegee, back-rolled with a short-nap epoxy roller, to 150-250 microns DFT
Add pre-stirred ACTFLEX Pigment Paste at 3-5% or ACTFLEX Metallic Pearl at 1-3% by weight of mixed resin for pigmented and metallic systems
Apply subsequent coats while the primer is tacky, typically 8-12 hours at 25C and 50% RH, and always within the 24 hour maximum recoat window
Apply the clear or pigmented coating by 4-5 mm nap epoxy roller, cross-rolling for uniform coverage at 0.8-1.2 mm per coat
For metallic and decorative pours spread at 1-2 mm, or 2-4 mm maximum per layer for deep-pour systems, then mist isopropyl alcohol from 300-500 mm above the surface to release entrapped air
For screeds, place on the tacky primed surface, screed to level and compact firmly to eliminate voids, maximum 15 mm per layer
Where a slip-resistant finish is required, broadcast ACTFLEX ANTISLIP aggregate to 70-90% refusal, cure 12-24 hours, vacuum off loose aggregate and apply a lock coat
Protect finished work from dust, moisture, foot traffic and vibration for a minimum of 24 hours after placement
Allow 7 days full mechanical cure before chemical spill or immersion

Technical overview

ACTFLEX CRYSTAL BOND is a two-component, crystal-clear epoxy resin system formulated on a low-viscosity bisphenol-F epoxy resin cured with a polyamide-amine hardener. It is self-priming and works as a clear coating, a pigmented and metallic flooring resin, a terrazzo and quartz binder matrix, an epoxy screed binder and a casting matrix, supplied as a 30 L kit. No Australian Standard currently governs this product class, and FORSPEC states that plainly. The published figures are manufacturer R&D typical values determined on the ASTM methods cited, with accredited testing not yet undertaken. No accredited test certificate is currently held for this product.
