1- ITEM IDENTITY :
 NAME : ENAMOPOXY FOR CONCRETE + EPOXY HARDENER

 CODE : BMA-CEE060→199 + BMA-HPE800
 DESCRIPTION : 2 components ,solvent based , air drying , non porous , relatively high solid
epoxy coating , based on a modified polyamid epoxy resin , and especially formulated for
heavy duty services .
2- ITEM USE FIELDS :
BMA enamopoxy is an indoor and outdoor coating for well prepared and primed floor.
It’s especially designated to be used on any primed concrete floor ; Because of its chemical , weather
and impact resistance and non-slip properties , and because it withstands the floors constant beating
, prevents the surfaces stripes and leaks , maintains a strong mechanical resistance to the cured
floor and gives a smooth and elegant finishing , it’s formulated for industrial uses , such as
factories , warehouses , showrooms ,hospitals , schools and hotels floors ,as well as for garages ,
hangars , aquariums , swimming pools, restaurant kitchens , boat-buildings ,…
3- ITEM GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS :
 Great resistance to abrasion , impact and high pressures .

 Durable elegant finish , up to 2 – 4 years minimum , according to the environment conditions
(long immersion into water and salted water , very high pressure application ,…) .
 Remarkable coverage and chemical resistance .
 Good waterproofing properties .
 Excellent heat , salt , acid, scratch and scuff resistance .
 Great prevention against surface strips and leaks .

 Very high non-slipping properties if it’s mixed with sand or smooth gravel .
 Excellent resistance to floor constant beeting , high traffic ,…. When totally cured .
 Great heavy equipment and vehicles weight withstanding .
 Compatible with various aged coatings .
 Applicable on concrete, bitumen, …
 Generation , during the application , of some relatively medium toxic vapors , evaporated by some
solvents used during the production process .
 Heat generation during the mixture of the epoxy resin with its catalyst .
 Easy to be cleaned – up .

5- APPLICATION :
 Substrate preparation
BMA enamopoxy for concrete should be applied on a well cleaned and primed surface
, which should be previously treated with a suitable alkaline detergent or degreasing
solution , to remove any oil or grease spot that could interfere with proper adhesion .
 Coating preparation
 Stir the enamopoxy for concrete and the epoxy hardener in their cans separatly
with a wooden stirrer or a mechanical mixer .
Page 2 of 5
 In a deep can , mix the exact needed quantity of BMA-CEE… , that could be
used within the pot life limit , with 25% of hardener epoxy BMA-HPE800 .
 Wait about 30 minutes for sweating time (induction) , then thin with the suitable
quantity of BMA thinner epoxy or BMA thinner 050.
 Application on concrete surfaces

 Etch the concrete with Muriatic (hydrochloric) acid then rince it immediately with
plenty of water; the surface must seem as a 150–180 grit sandpaper, and it must
directly absorb few drops of water , otherwise the etching procedure should be
repeated.
 When the surface is dry , rub your finger against it and wait for a white film of
dust or powder , if it appears rinse again .
 After full dryness , the epoxy could be applied :
- begin with one or two cross coats (if the surface needs) of insulopoxy BMA-
INS000 mixed with 25% of hardener epoxy BMA-HPE800.
- allow to dry for at least 6 – 8 hours .
- follow – up by one cross – coat of primopoxy for concrete BMA-CPE…mixed
with 25% of hardener epoxy BMA-HPE800 .
- allow to dry for 6 – 8 hours .
- finish with one or two cross coats of enamopoxy for concret BMA-CEE…
mixed with 25% of hardener epoxy BMA-HPE800 for an elegant finish .
- let dry for 2 days for light foot traffic , 5 days for heavy foot traffic and ten
days for vehicle traffic .
 to apply any BMA paint epoxy on a previously coated floor , clean it well ,
remove any peeling paint or stain , and if it’s sealed , grind it to remove the
sealer , then scuff it well before the application to ensure proper adhesion .
 Application tips
 BMA epoxy solvent based could be applied by a brush , a roller or an airless
spraying gun (which is not very recommended for safety issues) ; although
while spraying epoxy , it’s recommended to apply the first coat by a brush ,
this fills the grain better , because epoxy doesn’t usually wet out well which
could lead , during a non appropriate application to holes and fish eyes into the
cured surface .
 It’s recommended to mix just the needed quantity of BMA enamopoxy for
concrete with 25 % of its hardener just before the application and to close
hermetically the cans of the remaining 2 components to avoid their
solidification .
 Cleaning
Clean hands and tools directly with BMA thinner epoxy or 050 ; any residue left in
the spraying gun could irreversibly block its nozzel .
