Instructions for Use

Primer (optional)

1. If you do not want to apply the PU resin transparently, we always recommend priming with our PRIMER to avoid high material loss (layer thickness: approx.0.2mm).
2. The surface should be dust-free, clean and even. Level out holes and unevenness in advance with a cement-based levelling compound.
3. Pour the PRIMER into a paint tray after mixing.
4. Roll the material onto the desired surface with a paint roller.
5. Allow the primer to dry for approx. 8-12 hours.

Coating and Sealing with PU Resin

1. Coat the surface with the PU resin.
2. To do this, mix the PU resin (A) with the appropriate PU hardener (B) in the specified mixing ratio. PU glossy: 10:2 by weight (e.g.: 1kg A + 0.2kg B); PU matt: 10:1 by weight (e.g.: 1kg A + 0.1kg B). Optionally, you can add up to 20% water.
3. Transfer the mixture to a paint tray and mix again. This way you make sure that resin (A) and hardener (B) mix completely.
4. If a transparent coating is not desired, mix the supplied WB colour paste with the resin-hardener mixture to colour the transparent mixture. We recommend a colour proportion of approx. 10%, e.g., 100g WB colour paste to 1.1kg or 1.2kg resin+hardener. We recommend mixing smaller quantities of approx.1kg per coat, as the material, is very productive and sets quickly (pot life: 60 min. with 1kg).
5. Apply the material thinly with a foam roller in a criss-cross pattern. To achieve an even finish, use our scraper grid to scrape off excess material before application. We recommend a layer thickness of max.150µm.
6. The material can be walked on after approx. 20-24 hours and is completely chemically cured after approx.7 days.

Pro Tip: We recommend adding water to the PU resin when working at high ambient temperatures or when mixing a large quantity in order to avoid an orange peel texture.

The correct mixing ratios

With all of our products it is important to use the correct mixing ratio. Maintaining the correct mixing ratio is very important for optimal results. On this page you will find the mixing ratio of all our products. Is the mixing ratio of the epoxy you purchased not listed? Visit the product page or contact our customer service. The Polyestershoppen team will be happy to help.

Epoxy mixing ratios

Epoxy resin cures by mixing two components: the base component (resin) and hardener. These almost always come in separate packages. For epoxy to work optimally, it is important that the resin and hardener are mixed in the correct ratio. Each type of epoxy is different and has its own mixing ratio. A little too much of one of the components can quickly disrupt the chemical reaction, leaving the final product softer than intended. Therefore, always check the packaging to see which epoxy you have and stick to its mixing ratio. Usually, mixing ratios of epoxy resin are given as 100:XX. This indicates how many parts hardener 100 parts resin need to cure. Not sure how much epoxy you need? Then check out our article on epoxy quantities needed. 

Polyestershoppen mixing ratios

Polyestershoppen helps you find the correct epoxy mixing ratios. In the table below you will find the correct amounts of resin and hardener that you need to mix for each type of epoxy. All our mixing ratios are stated in grams and can therefore be weighed with a scale. Have you carefully weighed the resin and hardener? Then you can start mixing. To ensure that the epoxy gets the right structure, it is best to use the two-cup method. Follow our step-by-step plan in which we explain exactly how to mix epoxy. This way you can be sure that your project will be a great success. View the Polyestershopping mixing ratios in this table:

Polyester

Most polyester products require MEKP hardener. Some products do not require MEKP hardener, this is stated in the overview below. It is of course also important to maintain the mixing ratio for polyester. You can view all polyester products here. Polyestershoppen's mixing ratios are shown in the overview below.

Flooring systems

We recommend that you prepare the entire quantity of the floor system products at once and process it correctly within the processing time. If you want to divide a set into multiple portions, we recommend halving the quantities or dividing by the number you want to make. For example, if you want to make a smaller amount four times, divide both or all components by 4 by weight. Please view all flooring systems here.

For mixing ratios, you can consult this overview below.
