E2U Polyaspartic85 and PolyasparticRC are the next generation of 2-component, fast-drying, high-solids, aliphatic polyaspartics. They have excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals such as inorganic acids, alkalis, amines, salts and solvents. E2U Polyaspartic85/RC's formula provides nonyellowing and long-term gloss retention for interior/exterior applications.
It is the essential product when a project needs a fast turnaround, a highly UV resistance, zero 
VOC and flexible system.

Poly85/RC Key Features:

Preparation 

Concrete

Concrete should be at least 28 days old before coating. Remove all laitance, release agents, curing compounds, oil, grease, failing coatings, dust, dirt and other surface contaminants. Fill any large cracks or voids using Epoxy2U Polyurea Crack Repair or other suitable approved filler. The surface should be profiled via diamond grinding or shot blasting to ensure maximum adhesion. Moisture content of the slab should be below 3.5% (not RH) and RH below 75%, otherwise a moisture vapor barrier, such as Epoxy2U MVB15 or 6150RC should be applied prior to Poly85/RC.
Note: Mechanical preparation is the preferred method of preparing concrete for coating application. Shot-blasting, diamond grinding, scarifying and scrabbling are all acceptable methods. DO NOT ACID ETCH. EPOXY2U Australia, and its sales agents, will not be responsible for coating failures due to undetected moisture vapor emissions.

Coating performance is directly proportional to the comprehensiveness of surface preparation. 

Mixing and Application

The ratio of E2U Poly85/RC is 1 to 1. That is, one part A (resin) to one part B (hardener) by volume. Mix these with a drill and mixing paddle. Note: If using a drill mixer, use a low speed (aim not to exceed 300 rpm) to prevent air entrapment.
1. Premix or shake A and B sides 15-20 seconds.
2. Add entire contents of Part A and entire contents of Part B to a suitable mixing vessel and mix for 60-90 seconds. Be sure to stop briefly at this stage to scrape the sides of the mixing container to ensure components are completely mixed together. 
3. Continue mixing for a further 30-60 seconds.
4. E2UPoly85/RC is designed to be immediately poured on the floor.  Although Poly85 (NOT RC) has a pot life of 15-20 minutes. 
Once poured out on the floor, 15-20 minutes of working time can generally be expected for Poly85, and 12-15 minutes for PolyRC

Application:

Poly85 recommend method: Pour the product out in ribbons on the floor and use a squeegee and back roll application method. 

PolyRC recommend method: Pour the product out in ribbons on the floor and use a squeegee and back roll application method keeping a single continuous wet edge. Pour additional product onto wet product, not in front. Particularly over flake.
