Important questions

How is it applied?

The mixing ratio of Primer NP2450 is 2 parts Base to 1 part Activator by volume.
Pre-mix the Base at low speed for 1 minute. Pour the Base into a 2- to 5-gallon mixing container. If pigmenting, mix E-Tint into the Base. Then, add the Activator and mix for three minutes until a uniform mixture is obtained. Do not mix more material than you can apply in 10 to 15 minutes (the material will begin to harden or become tacky).
Immediately pour all of the mixed Primer NP2450 onto the floor in a continuous line approximately 8 to 12 inches wide. Do not attempt to spread the material directly from the bucket or a roller tray.
Using spiked shoes, evenly distribute 3 to 8 mils by pushing a flat trowel or spring-loaded knife along the material line. Overlap previous passes to ensure the concrete pores are filled. A thin, tight coat of primer without rolling is the best way to minimize out-gassing bubbles.
If rolling is required, use a 3/8” non-shedding roller and roll evenly over the trowel strokes to minimize application lines and leave a consistent film thickness.
After Primer NP2450 has set, apply the remaining material to achieve a total of 16 mils and a moisture vapor transmission tolerance of up to 12 pounds. Use a flat or notched trowel to spread the material and roll to reduce trowel lines and level the material.
For a random or full application, you can see the background of the applied Primer NP2450 before spreading the chip. Use Primer NP2450 tinted the same color as one of the chip flake colors in the mix.
The mixing ratio of Primer NP2450 is 2 parts Base to 1 part Activator by volume.

If rolling is required, use a 3/8” non-shedding roller and roll evenly over the trowel strokes to minimize application lines and leave a consistent film thickness.
Immediately after mixing the chip-receiving material, pour it all onto the floor in a basecoat strip. Apply at a coverage rate of 134–160 square feet per gallon for a wet film thickness of 10–12 mils using a notched trowel. Push the trowel in the same direction as the strip, at a slight angle to push excess material to the side. Moving parallel to the first pass, overlap and continue moving the material down the floor. Roll a 3/8” non-shedding roller over the trowel passes to level.
Immediately spread the flakes into the uncured resin. Pitch the chip flakes upward to spread them evenly. If applying a full application, continue adding flakes until the resin is completely covered.
Note: Do not pour or allow flakes to accumulate on the floor.
Once the coating layer under the chip has hardened enough to be walkable, remove any loose or excess flakes from the surface. Seal the flakes with a layer of NY2430 Polyaspartic grout.
Apply at a coverage rate of 100 – 160 sq ft per gallon for a wet film thickness of 10 – 16 mils, using a trowel and rolling with a 3/8” non-shedding roller for a uniform finish.
In hot or humid conditions, apply using an 18” roller using the dip method and applying from a roller tray, as heat and humidity reduce the working time of the material.
This material will cure faster with exposure to moisture in the air.
To avoid visible differences in texture or joints between mixes, do not exceed 5-10 minutes between mixes.
Use joints as natural divisions to section the floor.
If less texture is desired on an aggregate-spread floor, apply a second coat of 6–8 mils (no more than 200 sq ft per gallon) over the previous coat within 24 hours. Applying more thickly than recommended, allowing the material to puddle, or rolling it after it has begun to set may leave a white or hazy appearance.
