Construction Guide
* Surface Preparation:
- Should be blast cleaned in accordance with NACE No.2 / SSPC-SP10 / ISO 8501:1 / SIS Sa 2.5
to a near-white finish using a suitable abrasive. And/or by use the surface preparation with requirements of the primer and/or as the Spec of the project.
Remark: The surface must be thoroughly dry and apply the protective coating within 4 hours to cleaned surface.

Then it should be left for curing concrete to solid and dry for about 3-4 weeks. Then, clean the surface free from dust, dirt, grease and most importantly, the surface is completely dry.
(Check moisture content must be less than 14%).
- For Old concrete: To remove the old paint film which loosely adhesion to as much as possible by Scraping with a shovel or Grinding machine to enhance adhesion. Then, clean the surface free from grease and oil with suitable solvent.

- If over 7 days gives cleaning surface by sand paper no. 320-400 and cleaning surface per SSPC-SP1, Solvent Cleaning before coating.
- Surface repair (cracks, pores, holes) done with TOA Epoxy putty and polishing of surface with moltoprene disk.
