Hydro-Glaze Floors

NI-DURA HYDRO-GLAZE FLOORS consist of a waterproof epoxy primer base, and finish coats of a moisture curing polyurethane or chemical resistant 100% 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 HYDRO-SEAL 75 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 attack. Northern Industries NI-21 EPOXY or NI-1054 NOVOLAC EPOXY should also be used in areas where an odorless system is required.

I. INTRODUCTION

Hydro-Glaze Interior Wall and Floor System is a fluid applied Seamless Coating System that is impervious to most chemical attack and bacteria penetration.

VIII. INSTALLATION

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

1. FLOOR AND WALL SUBSTRATE PREPARATION (See Northern Industries Inc. guide for surface preparation)
2. INSTALLATION
   1. PRIMER: Hydro-Seal 75
   2. Tools
      1. 3/8" or 1/2" Nap Roller,
      2. Brush
      3. Spray equipment: "Graco Airless Spray Gun #208-327, Tip #163-817. Pump #226-175. 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.
   3. Preparation of Material
      1. Before blending, each component should be mixed individually for a period of 5 minutes with a mechanical mixer.
      2. Mix components together in a one to one ratio using equal amounts of A component and B component. Blend for three to five minutes. Pot life is approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
   4. Application of material
      1. After proper mixing apply with rollers, brushes or airless spray equipment specified above.
      2. Allow material to dry to touch before application of 2nd coat.
   5. FINISH COATS: NI-12 Polyurethane or NI-22 Aliphatic Polyurethane
      1. Tools: 1/4" nap roller or rubber squeegee
      2. Application of material
         1. Roller: Working from a paint tray dip roller in tray and apply with even strokes and pressure.
         2. Squeegee: Pour puddle of Polyurethane(NI-12 or NI-22)on floor and pull material towards you with squeegee while trying to leave an even coat of material on floor. Do not leave puddles or they will cause show up as spots in finished floor.
