Application Coverage Rate

Colors: The use of color is recommended in Eco-SDS Satin. DO NOT USE White.
Hide: The topcoat must be applied over a pigmented primer or existing coating of similar color to obtain color hide in Eco-SDS Satin. The resulting system color will be closer to the primer.
Contamination (Fisheyes): Product may fisheye if oil, silicones, mold release agents or other contaminants are present.
Chemical Resistance / Staining: Reduced chemical resistance and staining is possible in pigmented versions of the system.

• Protective clothing
• Jiffy® mixer blade [Tennant Part No. 08643-1 (1 gal) or 08643-5 (5 gal)]
• Slow speed drill (500 rpm or less)
• 18-24" Flat rubber squeegee
• 18-24" 1/16" Notched rubber squeegee
• Spiked shoes
• 3/8" medium-nap roller (18”)
• Roller assembly (18")
• Application tray
• Disk machine
• 60 grit sandpaper
• 80 grit sandpaper

Assemble Equipment: Due to the limited pot life of the material, all application equipment, etc. should be ready for immediate use. (Clean roller with tape to remove any residual lint.)

Detergent scrub and rinse with clean water to remove surface dirt, grease, oil and contaminants.
THICK FILM APPLICATIONS (25 mils / 0.64 mm):
Steel Shot Blast: Use magnetic broom to remove excess shot, sweep to remove large debris and vacuum to remove fine dust.
Diamond Grind: Sweep to remove large debris and vacuum to remove fine dust.
JOINTS: Depending on the preference of the facility owner, joints may or may not be filled. If the joints are filled, non-moving joints, i.e. contraction or control joints, can be hard filled with thickened, 100% solids epoxy or with a semi-rigid joint filler such as Eco-PJF™ or Eco-EJF™. Construction joints less than one inch wide may also be filled with Eco-PJF. Isolation or expansion joints must be filled with a flexible material designed for this purpose.

ECO-SDS SATIN MUST BE APPLIED OVER A TENNANT 100% SOLIDS EPOXY PRIMER. (See appropriate epoxy product bulletin for application instructions.)

AT LEAST 8 MILS OF AN EPOXY BUILD COAT ON TOP OF THE EPOXY PRIMER ARE RECOMMENDED FOR COMPLETE HIDE. (See appropriate epoxy product bulletin for application instructions.)

PREMIX PART A USING A JIFFY® MIXER BLADE with slow speed drill. POTLIFE: Mix only enough material which can be used within 30 minutes. NOTE: Once opened, this material cannot be resealed for later use.
CONTINUE TO MIX AND ADD PART B. MIX FOR 1 MINUTE using a Jiffy® mixer blade and slow speed drill.
POUR MIXED PARTS A/B INTO PART C while mixing. NOTE: The Part C is not blended—DO NOT SPLIT MIX OR PRODUCT MAY NOT MEET PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS.
MIX FOR 3 MINUTES using a Jiffy® mixer blade and slow speed drill. Move the blade up and down the sides of the pail and across the bottom to ensure contents are thoroughly mixed so no dry filler remains.
COLORS: Use Colorants at a rate of one-half unit per 1-gallon (3.78 liters) of Eco-SDS Satin. Premix Tennant Colorant before adding to the combined Parts A/B/C to ensure uniform color. Add colorant to combined Parts A/B/C and mix using a Jiffy® mixer blade and slow speed drill. Mix until well blended. Pour into application tray.
APPLY ECO-SDS SATIN at the rate of 600 ft2/gallon (55.7 m2/3.78 L) with a 3/8” (10 mm) nap roller. For proper appearance and development of physical properties, it is crucial that material is not applied above or below this rate. Material applied at a lower application rate will tend to foam at higher humidities and temperatures. Dip the roller in the coating and lightly roll out excess in the application tray. Apply material in an area no wider than 10 feet (3.0 meters). One dip should cover about 45 sq. ft. (4.2 m2).
SPREAD THE MATERIAL evenly with V-shaped cross passes.
MAKE SURE THE FLOOR HAS JUST ENOUGH COATING TO COVER EVENLY. Excess material could cause the floor to blister, especially in high humidity and will show more roller marks. Insufficient material will cause the floor to look non-uniform. If you cannot see the grit texture, the material is too thick.
LEVEL THE AREA with straight passes that cross the initial material paths. These final strokes will reduce roller marks. If the appearance is not satisfactory, reroll the area.
REMIX THE MATERIAL in the tray occasionally (with the roller) to prevent settling of the Part C (filler).
NOTE: This product cannot be finish rolled by a separate individual. Late finish rolling may introduce foam in the coating especially at higher humidities and temperatures.
ALLOW COATING TO DRY 24 HOURS at 75°F (24°C), 50% relative humidity before opening to light traffic. Allow more time at low temperatures, low humidity or for heavier traffic. Full coating properties take 14 days to develop.
