Mixing
MASTERSEAL 200H is ready for use. Stir (do not
dilute) to obtain a uniform mixture before use.
Application
Apply MASTERSEAL 200H in one coat using airless
spray to achieve a wet film thickness of 370µ or in
two coats each of 185µ WFT using roller or brush,
with the second coat applied 2 – 4 hrs after the first
and at right angle to it. The prepared substate must
be air-dry when the first coat is applied.
Where a textured finish is required use a medium
nap roller to apply the product and over roll with a
textured roller to give the desired finish in 0ne
direction only.
Only apply MASTERSEAL 200H when the ambient
temperature and substrate temperature are at least
5°C, and will not fall below 5°C with in 24 hours. To
avoid condensation which influences the adhesion
negatively, surface temperature during application
should be at least 3°C higher then the dew point.
Curing
MASTERSEAL 200H is self-curing.
Equipment
Airless sprayer, medium nap roller or brush.
Cleaning
Clean tools and equipment with water before
MASTERSEAL 200H dries.
Coverage
The coverage rate is strongly influenced by the
roughness and porosity of the substrate.
Minimum recommended rate of application for
MASTERSEAL 200H is 0.25 Kg/m2/coat.
Each pack of 25kg is sufficient for an area of 50 m2
to achieve the recommended final dry film thickness
of 150µ.
On rough porous surfaces, the coverage may be
reduced by as much as 20-40%.
Packaging
MASTERSEAL 200H is supplied in 25kg containers.
