Product Overview

—————-

Soft Transparent Coating 710 with EF40 Hardener (also known as Epoxy Varnish) is a two-component epoxy coating formulated with high-quality epoxy resin and EF40 hardener. Designed for both industrial and commercial applications, this product provides superior resistance, excellent adhesion, and a high-gloss finish that protects and beautifies a wide variety of surfaces.

What is Soft Transparent Coating 710 with EF40 Hardener?

———————————————————

Soft Transparent Coating 710 with EF40 Hardener is a two-component, polyamine-based epoxy coating engineered to deliver exceptional clarity and high resistance against impacts and abrasions. Serving as the final finishing layer in an epoxy coating system, its precise application is crucial to ensure long-lasting durability and a premium surface appearance. It is ideal for enhancing and safeguarding surfaces in industrial and commercial projects.

How to Use Soft Transparent Coating 710 with EF40 Hardener

———————————————————–

Achieving a durable and transparent finish with Soft Transparent Coating 710 requires strict adherence to the application process. The following step-by-step guide will help you correctly apply this high-performance epoxy coating:

Surface Preparation for Concrete Substrates

———————————————

1. Pre-coated Surfaces:

   The transparent EF40 coating can be applied over surfaces that have previously been treated with the colored topcoat (EF30) and primer (EF20). Ensure that sufficient time has elapsed between each epoxy layer as recommended.

2. Temperature Check:

   – Before Application: Measure the temperature of the substrate and the materials using a digital thermometer.

   – Optimal Temperature: Both the surface and materials should be maintained between 25°C and 30°C. If conditions differ, contact Mandana Polymer’s technical support.

Materials and Equipment

———————–

– Materials: Soft Transparent Coating 710 with EF40 Hardener

– Equipment Needed:

• Industrial Scale (for precise measurements)
• Roller, Brush, or Spray Gun
• Electric Mixer
• Safety Gloves and Mask
• Moisture Measurement Tools
• Squeegee or Metal Trowel (No. 2 Notched)

Step-by-Step Application Process

———————————

1.      Pre-Conditioning:

   In colder seasons, allow the container of transparent resin to warm up near a heater approximately one day before application.

2.      Initial Mixing:

   Prior to adding the hardener, gently stir the transparent resin with a clean mixer for 1 minute.

3.      Adding the Hardener:

   – Add the EF40 hardener according to the specified resin-to-hardener ratio.

   – Mix the combined components slowly and continuously with a clean mixer for 2 minutes.

4.      Resting Period:

   Let the mixed resin and hardener sit for 5 minutes before application.

5.      Application:

   Apply the mixture onto the prepared surface using a No. 2 notched metal trowel for an even finish.

Important Mixing and Application Notes

—————————————-

• Do Not Substitute Hardener:

  Never replace the specific EF40 hardener with any hardener intended for colored coatings, primers, or sealers.

• Precision in Mixing:

  Even a 10-gram variation in the hardener quantity can compromise the coating quality. Always measure all components accurately using an industrial-grade scale.

• Time Constraint:

  The mixed epoxy should be applied within 20 to 30 minutes. Beyond this timeframe, the mixture will begin to set, leaving visible marks from the trowel or squeegee.

• Mixing Technique:

  Avoid vigorous stirring. Mix slowly and steadily at each stage.
