General Information
Two-component, solvent-based epoxy coating enhanced with UV-filters, specifically designed for outdoor or indoor pools and surfaces exposed to water. It is characterized by exceptionally high hardness and resistance to wear, chlorinated and sea water. It is used as a protective and decorative coating for cementitious and metallic outdoor and indoor surfaces, such as swimming pools, water tanks, fountains etc.
How to Use
The substrate to be coated must be clean, stable, solid, and free from standing water, rust, moisture (less than 4%), dust, oils, lime, tar, and any loose materials that could affect adhesion. For any repairs deemed necessary for the proper preparation of the substrate, the appropriate repair materials from KRAFT Paints should be used.
Concrete or absorbent surfaces: The quality of the concrete must be of a class equal to or higher than C20/25, and the cement content of the screed must be at least 350 kg/m3, with full curing for at least 28 days beforehand. Proper preparation and smoothing of the surface is essential, using mechanical methods such as sanding, milling, sandblasting, etc., and the ideal removal of dust. The repair of cracks or the filling of holes can be carried out using a mixture of BODENGUARD SL-550 PRIMER with BODENGUARD Q-500AS quartz sand, after the appropriate priming has been done.
Priming: Once properly prepared, apply one coat of the clear BODENGUARD S-150 PRIMER, solvent-based, after diluting up to 10% by weight with KRAFT NITRO 2000. After 24 hours, apply the final topcoat. For highly absorbent surfaces, apply the solvent-free BODENGUARD SL-550 PRIMER. After 24 hours, apply the topcoat.
Metallic or non-absorbent surfaces: Proper preparation is necessary using mechanical methods such as sanding with sandpaper or sandblasting, thorough removal of dust, rust, or loose areas, and degreasing with KRAFT NITRO 2000 thinner.
Priming: Once properly prepared, apply two coats of the anti-corrosive BODENGUARD AR-120 PRIMER, solvent-based, after diluting up to 10% by weight with KRAFT NITRO 2000. After 24 hours, apply the topcoat.
The components A and B are packaged in containers with a predetermined mixing ratio. Component B is added completely into the container of component A. Mix the two components for about 1-2 minutes manually or with a low-speed drill , ensuring the mixture is homogeneous. Avoid excessive mixing to prevent air entrapment. Then, dilute approximately 5-10% by weight with KRAFT NITRO 2000 thinner.
BODENGUARD POOL E-400 is applied in at least two coats, within 24 hours of the primer and after it has dried. It can be used diluted from 5% to 10% by weight with KRAFT NITRO 2000 thinner and is applied with a roller, brush, or airless spray gun. It is recommended to dilute the first coat by 8-10% and the final coat by 5-6%. Each subsequent coat is applied after the previous one has dried and is always within 24 hours. Anti-slip surfaces: To achieve anti-slip surfaces, before applying the final coat of BODENGUARD POOL E-400, add approximately 2% by weight of BODENGUARD PES-400AS polyester granules (maximum grain size 400μm) to the mixture and stir for about ½ – 1 minute ,until fully homogeneous. Then, apply this final coat to the surface. Alternatively, use BODENGUARD Q-500AS quartz sand (maximum grain size 500μm) by broadcasting it onto the wet penultimate coat of BODENGUARD POOL E-400 at a consumption rate of approximately 2.5 kg per square meter. Then, after 24 hours and once the coating is completely dry, remove the excess quartz sand that did not adhere to the surface, either manually or with a vacuum cleaner. Finally, apply the final coat of BODENGUARD POOL E-400.
Store the product at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C away from direct sunlight and rain, for a maximum of 24 months from the date of production. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
