NI-DURA HYDRO-GLAZE FLOORS consist of a waterproof epoxy primer base, and finish coats of a polyurethane or chemical resistant epoxy.  In areas where an anti-bacterial topping is required NI-DURA HYDRO-GLAZE FLOORS make perfect sense.  Unlimited colors variations are achieved by pigmenting the waterproof primer ADHERE101 to the desired pastel, and applying a clear finish.  NI-DURA VINYL FLAKES can also be added to the waterproof primer for greater color variation and design.  NI-21 EPOXY or NI-1054 NOVOLAC EPOXY should be used in areas subjected to chemical attact. Northern EPOXIES should also be used in areas where an odorless system is required.

VI. INSTALLATION: Contractors should furnish all labor, materials, equipment and appurtenances to complete all wall and flooring systems as indicated and/or specified herein.

A. FLOOR AND WALL SUBSTRATE PREPARATION ( see Appendix A)

B. INSTALLATION (minimum four (4) coat )

a) Primer and Second Coat (Hydro-seal 75)

(1) Tools

(a) Choice of

(i) 3/8" or 1/2" Nap Roller

Equipped with an accessory to monitor the fluid pressure which shuts off automatically if outside the pressure setting compressor (minimum) 8 H.P. flow, fluid oz. NOTE: Other models of equipment are available to suit operational needs.

(2) Preparation of Material

(a) Before blending, each component should be mixed individually for a period of 5 minutes with a mechanical mixer.

(b) Mix components together in a one to one ratio using equal amounts of A component and B component. Blend for five minutes. Pot life is approx. 40 minutes.

Appendix A

Hydro-Glaze System Substrate Preparation

Prepare and abrade substrate removing all foreign material such as preservatives, waxes, sealers, paint, hardeners, etc. Refer to Northern Industries general preparation of sub-surfaces, installation manual page 7 through 14. Substrate should be wood, concrete or metal: having a true surface within 1/8 inch (+/-) 10 feet in any direction. Substrate temperature must be no lower than 50'F and maintained during the installation and curing period. For concrete leveling and patching use the Epoxy Mortar System (cement and Hydro-Seal 75 (a two component, water-soluble, thermoset, heavy bodied, odorless epoxy resin formulation), and fine sand for applications over 1/4" thick. For Plywood or Particleboard installations, always use the Epoxy Mortar System and fiberglass tape for taping joints and the mortar for filling nail holes.

1. Metal surfaces: should be prepared with a solution of phosphoric acid and neutralized with water

2. Concrete surfaces: cement block, poured concrete

a) New

(1) Should be at least 30 days cured, prior to application of seamless flooring materials and free of sealers, curing compounds (silicon hardeners), oil, grease, paint, hydrostatic pressure and moisture transmission.

(2) Should be smooth and level

b) Old:

(1) Must be clean, free of paint, stain or other foreign material that would prevent proper hydration and bonding.

(2) Patching and Leveling deteriorated and cracked surfaces: use Northern Industries Epoxy Mortar System:

(a) Thickness

(i) Under 1/4": Straight Epoxy Mortar System

(a) Mixing Ratio by volume: Three (3) parts cement to one (1) part mixed Hydro-Seal 75 Epoxy

(ii) Over 1/4": Add fine sand to Epoxy Mortar System to eliminate cracking.

(a) Mixing Ratio by volume: More sand is needed for thicker applications. Up to a ratio of: 3 parts sand, 1 part cement, 1 part mixed Hydro-Seal 75 for 1/2 " to 3/4" patch.

(b) Tools ( and additional materials):

(i) a straightedge trowel or wide putty knife

(ii) Portland Cement

(iii) fine sand if needed

(c) Procedure:

(i) Fill and smooth all cracks with Mortar System as a scrape and seal coat

(ii) Prepare rough, porous or contaminated surfaces that are deteriorating by filling and repair them with the Epoxy Mortar System.

(iii) Dry (1) hour at 70 degrees F and 50% humidity.

3. Other Surfaces: Wood substrate should be exterior grade plywood. Particle board should meet requirements of FHA use of materials bulletin UM 28 A. Prepare seams, joints, and Nail Holes by using the following method: Skim coat seams, joints and Nail Holes with Northern Epoxy Mortor System and then Lay 4" fiberglass tape over mortared seams joints

(a) Tools:

(i) 4" Wide straight edge Putty Knife or straight edge trowel

(ii) Portland Cement

(iii) 4" Northern fiberglass tape

(b) Mixing Ratio: 2 parts cement, 1 part mixed Hydro-Seal 75

(c) Procedure

(i) Apply Epoxy Mortar System over joints as smoothly as possible (feather edging)

(ii) Lay Northern Industries fiberglass tape into the mortared joints.

(iii) Apply additional Epoxy Mortar over fiberglass tape as smoothly as possible (Feather edging)

 

Fill all nail holes with same mixture
