Please consult the technical data sheet for full product technical data.
Preparation:
Thorough substrate preparation is essential.
Prior to application of Hy-Glaze™ EP, the surface should be primed with either Polycote WD Primer or Polycote EP Primer, depending on the type and condition of the substrate. Please contact Polycote Technical Helpline for advice, and follow preparation guidelines on the relevant primer Data Sheet.
Mixing:
Having fully prepared the substrate, stir the individual components before mixing together. Add Part ‘B’ to Part ‘A’ and thoroughly mix for at least 3 minutes.
For best results use a heavy duty slow speed drill with a mixing paddle.
Ensure thorough mixing as an unmixed product will result in a poor or non-cure situation.
Application:
Having prepared and primed the surface, Hy-Glaze™ EP should be applied after the primer has completely dried but within 36 hours of priming to ensure a good intercoat chemical bond. Apply by brush or roller making sure that the surface is completely covered.
Particular attention should be given to any protrusions or other vulnerable areas. When finished, DO NOT scrape the remaining contents from the container as this will invariably include unmixed raw resin.
