Note: Coverage rates are approximate. Actual coverage rates depends on temperature, texture, and substrate porosity.

Directions for Use

Surface Preparation: Surface Preparation: The surface must be structurally sound, clean and free of grease, oil, curing
compounds, soil, dust and other contaminants. See note in “Precautions/Limitations” section if coating is to be placed
over old/ existing epoxy or urethane coatings. New concrete and masonry must be at least 28 days old. Surface laitance
must be removed. Concrete surfaces must be roughened and made absorptive, preferably by mechanical means, and
then thoroughly cleaned of all dust and debris. If the surface was prepared by chemical means (acid etching), a water/
baking soda or water/ammonia mixture, followed by a clean water rinse for cleaning, in order to neutralise the substrate.
The Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) should be equal to CSP 2-4. Allow substrate to dry before coating application.
Following surface preparation, the strength of the surface can be tested if quantitative results are required by project
specifications. An elcometer or similar tensile pull tester may be used in accordance with ASTM D 4541, and the tensile
pull-off strength should be at least 1.7 MPa.
Before application of Duralkote 240, ensure the concrete substrate should be dry to 75% RH as per BS8204 and free
from rising damp and ground water pressure. Do not apply Duralkote 240 if there is excessive moisture present. After
surface preparation, a test section application of the coating system is recommended to confirm good adhesion and
compatibility of the coating with the surface, and also to confirm appearance and aesthetics.
When coating steel, all contamination should be removed and the steel surface prepared to a “near white” finish using
clean, dry blasting media.
Mixing: Mix DURALKOTE 240 using a low-speed drill and a mixing paddle. Pre-mix Part A and Part B separately for
approximately 3 minutes each. Combine Part A and Part B in a 1 to 1 ratio by volume, then mix thoroughly for 3 to 5
minutes. Scrape the bottom and sides of the containers at least once during mixing. Do not scrape bottom or sides of
the container once mixing operations have ceased; doing so may result in unmixed resin or hardener being applied to
the substrate. Unmixed resin or hardener will not cure properly. Do not aerate the material during mixing.
Application: See the “Epoxy & Urethane Coatings Application Guide” for installation means and methods.
Note that any coverage rates or mixing ratios for epoxy or epoxy-aggregate combinations found in the “Epoxy &
Urethane Coatings Application Guide” are approximations, and are for general reference only. For product specific
coverage rates and mixing ratios, refer to this technical data sheet.
Where an anti-skid surface is desired for DURALKOTE 240, broadcast approximately 1.2 to 2.4 kg/ m2 of clean, dry
aggregate into the first coat. When the first coat has cured, sweep off excess aggregate. Proceed with the second coat of
DURALKOTE 240.

Clean Up
Clean tools and application equipment immediately with acetone, xylene, or MEK. Clean spills or drips with the
same solvents while still wet. Hardened DURALKOTE 240 will require mechanical abrasion for removal.

Precautions / Limitations
• Store DURALKOTE 240 indoors, protected from moisture, at temperatures between 10°C and 32°C
• Surface and ambient temperature during coating applications should be between 10°C and 32°C
• Material temperatures should be at least 10°C and rising
• Do not apply DURALKOTE 240 if surface temperature is within 3°C of the dew point in the work area
• Working time and cure time will decrease as the temperature increases, and will increase as the temperature
decreases
• Do not thin DURALKOTE 240
• Do not apply DURALKOTE 240 to slabs on grade unless an uninterrupted vapour barrier has been installed under the
slab
• Do not apply DURALKOTE 240 if the substrate is subject to excessive moisture vapour drive or hydrostatic pressure
• Although DURALKOTE 240 is chemically resistant, surface staining of the coating may occur after contact with
• some chemicals.
• Depending on the condition of the substrate, minor surface defects can appear in the coating when applied.
• Proper surface prep, patching of substrate imperfections, and priming will ensure a better overall finish.
• If coating over old/existing epoxy or urethane coatings, or if more than 24 hours elapses between coats: sand the
previous coat, wipe clean, and proceed with coating operations. If old/existing coatings are peeling, flaking, etc., all
unsound material must be removed prior to new coating applications.
• Application of a test area is recommended to confirm final appearance and texture of the system with the end user
• In all cases, consult the product Safety Data Sheet before use
