ElaProof FLOOR X – instruction for use

Preliminary work before starting the coating

The product is suitable for use on most floor surfaces for indoor use. The floor surface can be e.g. chipboard, plasterboard and concrete. Concrete platforms must first be levelled with a floor leveller suitable for the purpose. The strength of the screed is at least C30, F7 as classified according to standard EN 13813. Before starting the coating work, familiarize yourself with the preliminary work required by the surface material of your site. Please download suitable coating work proposal here!

Conditions

The most recommended installation conditions are +15–20°C, RH 50% air relative humidity. Direct sunlight on the coating area must be avoided, as well as drafty conditions. Lower temperatures and high relative humidity significantly slow down the drying of the product. Correspondingly, high temperatures accelerate the drying of the product and may cause harm to the self-smoothing properties of the product. Non-absorbent base materials also significantly affect the drying time, lengthening it.

Minimum installation temperature + 10°C in air and on the substrate.
Maximum installation temperature +25°C in air and on the substrate.
Maximum air relative humidity 75% RH.
Maximum substrate relative humidity 90% RH.

Priming

Surfaces to be coated are primed with ElaProof Primer before coating. Porous and absorbent surfaces are primed with ElaProof Primer diluted 1:2 (1 part primer:2 parts water). Repeat the priming, if necessary, if the applied primer is absorbed into the substrate in an instant. The coating can be applied as soon as the primer has dried. Ponds must not appear!

Moisture-sensitive substrates, such as wood-based building boards and plasterboards, are primed with undiluted ElaProof Primer. In this case, let the primer dry for at least 12 hours before starting the coating.

Coating

Mix ElaProof Floor X Floor Coating before use. Use a wire whisk in the mixer, which does not introduce air into the sealing compound during mixing. ElaProof Floor X Floor coating is applied to the substrate with a toothed steel trowel intended for self-leveling floor products, e.g. E.Vuorio Oy product no. 4649 in one application. After application, the coating is treated with a spike roller, e.g. E.Vuorio Oy product no. 7814. ElaProof Floor-X consumption should be approx. 3.0 kg/m² and the realized dry film thickness should be min. 1.5 mm. On absorbent substrates, the ElaProof Floor X floor coating can be further processed after approx. 24 h under conditions of +20°C, 50% RH. On non-absorbent substrates, suitability for further processing may require a longer time.

NOTE! If necessary, the product can be thinned by a maximum of 1 percent by weight (2 dl for a 20 kg container). If you are diluting the product, start with a small amount of water and add more if necessary. Adding too much water to the product may have a weakening effect on the product’s technical properties!

Intermediate sanding

If you want the surface of the ElaProof Floor X floor coating to be completely smooth and even, perform intermediate sanding with a floor sander before varnishing the surface. Use a 40-grit sandpaper disc in the floor sander and sand the coated floor completely smooth. Vacuum the resulting lint with an industrial vacuum cleaner.

Varnishing

The dried ElaProof Floor X floor coating is treated with clear ELACOAT TOPCOAT or tinted ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL topcoats to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. For floors that remain in one colour, we recommend topcoating with tinted ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL topcoat to even out possible colour differences in the ElaProof Floor X floor coating. Mix the topcoat according to the instructions on the package. Apply the topcoat over the dried ElaProof Floor X coating with a short-pile roller (6-7 mm) by rolling it crosswise. The consumption of the surface varnish is approx. 110-200 g/m²/application. The surface varnish is dry to the touch after approx. 16 hours in conditions of + 20°C, 50% RH. The full duration of mechanical stress is reached in the above conditions after approx. 4 days, and the full chemical duration after approx. 7 days. NOTE! Some colours of ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL topcoats may require 2-3 treatments to achieve sufficient coverage! See the separate table for coverage of ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL topcoats.

Storage

DO NOT FREEZE BEFORE USING! The product can be stored unopened for 12 months in a cool place and protected from sunlight. The date of manufacture is marked on the packaging.

ELACOAT TopCoat and TopCoat RAL Floor maintenance and cleaning instructions

Floor maintenance and cleaning instructions for ELACOAT TOPCOAT and ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL coated floors

General info

Coated floors must be carefully protected during construction, thus ensuring the quality of the coatings and good maintenance.

Commissioning cleaning

Commissioning cleaning can be done approximately 1 week after the floor is coated.

Note! If there is dust on the floor during construction, remove it first with Sani Calc free.

Detergent: Sani Calc free

Dosage: 10–25 ml / 5 l cool water

Wash the floor with a purple or green Twister disc. If necessary, use an indirect cleaning method (= the suction nozzle is kept raised and the suction motor is turned off on the first run. On the second run, the suction nozzle is lowered and the floor is washed normally).

Maintenance cleaning with a mop

The floor is cleaned using a soft brush or if a washing machine is used, a soft disc is also recommended.

Detergent: Jontec 300- series products
Dosage: 5–10 ml / 5 l cool water

Wet or damp mop the floor with a microfiber mop or dryer squeegee.

Maintenance cleaning by machine

Detergent: Water

Wash the floor according to how dirty it is with either a purple or a green Twister disc.

If necessary, use an indirect cleaning method (= the suction nozzle is kept raised and the suction motor is turned off on the first run. On the second run, the suction nozzle is lowered and the floor is washed normally).

Periodic cleaning

Detergent: Water

Wash the floor with a yellow Twister disc. If necessary, use an indirect cleaning method (= the suction nozzle is kept raised and the suction motor is turned off on the first run. On the second run, the suction nozzle is lowered and the floor is washed normally). Use the yellow Twister disc for very dirty and scratched floors/areas, e.g. in front of the serving line, entrance halls, etc. Repeat the same with the green Twister.

Please note!

Stop the dirt at the door

Most of the dirt comes from outside. Stop the dirt already at the door with an efficient and sufficient carpet system.

Commissioning cleaning

Timely and correctly performed commissioning cleaning is the basis of maintenance and periodic care. On average, commissioning cleaning can be done approximately 1 week after the floor is coated. The floor is completely resistant to mechanical stress after 7 days and completely resistant to chemical stress after 28 days.

Maintenance and periodic cleaning

Prefer mechanical methods for floor maintenance. Regular and sufficient use of a combination machine is an efficient and quick way to keep the floors in good condition and, together with periodic cleaning, postpones the need for basic cleaning.

Indirect method in the use of a combination machine

The suction nozzle is kept raised and the suction motor is switched off during the first run. On the second run, the suction nozzle is lowered and the floor is washed normally.

Furniture

Use felt paws on furniture to avoid scratches. Use a floor protector under the chairs to avoid wear marks.

Stains

Remove stains fresh. Use ready-made stain remover or e.g. Jontec Forward free. Apply the stain removal solution to the stain and let it act for 1–3 min. Rub lightly, wipe the stained area clean, rinse with water and dry. When choosing the right product, contact a Diversey representative if necessary.

7.4 Grit coating of a block-built wall

General

This coating work method is indicative and deals with the grit coating of a block-build wall with the ELAPROOF + SAND system. The ELAPROOF + SAND plinth protection system consists of ELAPROOF PRIMER primer, ELAPROOF + SAND Plinth Protection and ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL / ELACOAT TOPCOAT topcoat

The coating work method is not a repair plan or a construction plan. The overall design of the coating is always the responsibility of the site-specific designer.

Platform refurbishment

Sufficient tensile and compressive strength is a key factor in the functionality of coating materials. The concrete or screed base must be durable and have sufficient compressive strength. The substrate must be clean, sufficiently dry and free of all impurities such as dirt, oil, grease, weak coatings and surface treatments.

If necessary, weak layers are removed with sufficiently effective mechanical methods such as grinding or milling. Regarding the coating, the best end result is achieved if it is carried out on a clean concrete surface, the roughness of which corresponds to a wood-rubbed concrete surface.

Patching and leveling of the platform

Any holes in the surface are filled with a filling compound suitable for the coating combination before coating. If the concrete substrate to be coated has jagged or uneven areas, they must be leveled with a screed suitable for the coating combination. It should be noted that unevenness tends to show on the coated surface.

Only special products that meet the compression and tensile strength requirements mentioned above may be used to repair, straighten and level the substrate. The suitability of the above-mentioned products as a base for a coating to be applied as a liquid must always be confirmed by from the supplier of the product.

Waterproofing of the back side of the block-build wall

The moisture-technical functionality of a wall coated with ELAPROOF + SAND plinth protection must be ensured by treating the back side of the wall to make it waterproof as well. The easiest way to achieve this is by implementing waterproofing with the ELAPROOF coating.

When implementing waterproofing with ELAPROOF coating, follow the instructions given by this coating work method regarding the pretreatment and priming of the substrate.

Waterproofing

Before starting the waterproofing, the ELAPROOF coating must be mixed. Use a whisk in the mixer that does not introduce air into the coating during mixing, e.g. wire whisks from the COLLOMIX KR series.

The primed substrate is coated with ELAPROOF coating. The coating is applied to the substrate with a steel trowel, roller or, if necessary, a high-pressure sprayer.

The ELAPROOF coating is applied to the substrate in two separate applications. The consumption of each application should be approx. 0.9 l/m², making the total consumption approx. 1.8 l/m². It is recommended that the realized dry film thickness be approx. 1.0 mm.

The drying time between applications of the ELAPROOF coating depends greatly on the conditions at the installation site. When the conditions are approx. + 20 °C, 50% RH, the second application can be carried out approx. 5 h after the first application. A lower temperature and higher air humidity will significantly extend the drying time.
The twice-applied ELAPROOF coating is suitable for further processing after approx. 12 h under conditions of + 20 °C, 50% RH.

Earth pressure

In walls whose back side is subjected to earth pressure, the ELAPROOF coating acting as a waterproofing must be protected against wear caused by earth pressure with insulation boards or dam boards. Among the insulation boards, PIR insulation boards work best for the purpose. When using a dam plate, its installation direction must be taken into account. The dam plate, which acts as a protection for the waterproofing, should be installed with the smooth side facing the waterproofing, so that the ridged edges of the dam plate do not cause pressure in the direction of the waterproofing.

Primer

Prior to coating, cleaned and repaired concrete substrates are primed with ELAPROOF PRIMER diluted 1: 2 with water (1 part primer: 2 parts water). The primer may be damp before applying ELAPROOF + SAND Plinth Protection.

Coating

Before starting the coating, the ELAPROOF + SAND Plinth Protection must be mixed. Use a mixing paddle in the mixer that does not take air into the sealant when mixing, eg COLLOMIX KR series mixing paddle.

The primed substrate is coated with ELAPROOF + SAND Plinth Protection. The coating is applied to the substrate with a steel spatula.

ELAPROOF + SAND Plinth Protection is applied to the substrate in two separate applications. The consumption of each application must be at least approx. 1.0 kg / m². In which case the total consumption is at least 2.0 kg / m². The actual dry film thickness must be min. 1.0 mm.

The drying time between coats of ELAPROOF + SAND Plinth Protection depends largely on the conditions at the installation site. At conditions of approx. + 20 °C, 50% RH can be applied a second time approx. 5 h after the first application. Lower temperatures and higher humidity significantly extend the drying time.

The ELAPROOF + SAND Plinth Protection applied twice can be applied after approx. 12 hours in conditions + 20 °C, 50 % RH.

Topcoat

If necessary, the dried ELAPROOF + SAND Plinth Protection coating is treated with clear ELACOAT TOPCOAT or tinted ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL topcoats to facilitate cleaning and maintenance or to achieve the desired color tone.

In the topcoat, the topcoat component A is first mixed for 1 to 2 minutes, then the hardener component B is added to the mixed topcoat A and mixed again for 2-3 minutes. Use, for example, the COLLOMIX KR series wire whisk for mixing.

The mixture is applied on top of the dried ELAPROOF coating with a short-pile roller (6 – 7 mm) by cross-rolling. The consumption of the topcoat is approx. 110 – 200 g / m² / application, depending on the degree of roughness of the selected ELAPROOF + SAND coating. The topcoat is dry to dry after approx. 16 h at + 20 °C, 50% RH. The full duration of mechanical stress is achieved under the above conditions in about 4 days and the full chemical duration in about 7 days.

NOTE! Some shades of ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL topcoats may require 2 to 3 coats to achieve sufficient coverage! See a separate table for the coverage of ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL topcoats.

6.8 Coating of bathroom with polyurethane floor

General

This coating method is indicative and covers the coating of a floor coated with polyurethane in the bathroom with the ELAPROOF + SAND system. The ELAPROOF + SAND floor covering system consists of ELAPROOF PRIMER primer, ELAPROOF + SAND floor covering and ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL / ELACOAT TOPCOAT topcoat

The coating work method is not a repair plan or a construction plan. The overall design of the coating is always the responsibility of the site-specific designer.

Platform refurbishment

The floor coated with polyurethane compound in the bathroom must be less than 10 years old during the coating phase, based on Finnish RIL 107-2012 guideline. Please check if there are any similar restrictions in the local regulations and follow those.

Any cracks in the bathroom floor coated with polyurethane are first treated by soldering them with a polyurethane compound with similar properties. After the polyurethane solders have dried, the floor coated with polyurethane mass is mechanically sanded.

The sanded polyurethane-coated floor is washed with an all-purpose cleaner and rinsed with plenty of water. The cleaned floor is allowed to dry for at least 2 hours before starting the coating.

Sealing

If necessary, the seals of all structural joints and boundary points such as bushings and columns, etc. are implemented with a combination of ELAPROOF INDOOR + ELAPROOF BASE FABRIC.

ELAPROOF INDOOR must be mixed before starting the seals. Use a whisk in the mixer that does not take air into the sealant when mixing, e.g. COLLOMIX KR series mixing paddle.

Apply ELAPROOF INDOOR sealant with a brush and press ELAPROOF BASE FABRIC onto the fresh compound so that all air escapes under the support fabric. Apply another coat of ELAPROOF INDOOR.

Sealing of one running meter (1 rmt) requires approx. 0.15 l of ELAPROOF INDOOR.

If the sealable bushings allow the pre-formed bushing to be threaded over the bushing into a collar, the bushings can be shaped, if necessary, for example, by cutting from N1 or N2 category geo-textiles, unless the ELAPROOF BASE FABRIC is wide enough to carry the penetration. ELAPROOF ROOF series reinforcement fabrics, available in widths of 150 mm, 350 mm and 1000 mm, can also be used for seals.

Coating

Before starting the coating, the ELAPROOF + SAND floor covering must be mixed. Use a mixing paddle in the mixer that does not take air into the sealant when mixing, eg COLLOMIX KR series mixing paddle.

The primed substrate is coated with ELAPROOF + SAND (M1 / EC 1) floor coating. The coating is applied to the substrate with a steel spatula.

ELAPROOF + SAND floor covering is applied to the substrate in two separate applications. The consumption of each application must be at least approx. 2.0 kg / m², in which case the total consumption is approx. 4.0 kg / m². The actual dry film thickness must be min. 2.0 mm.

The drying time between coats of ELAPROOF + SAND depends largely on the conditions at the installation site. At conditions of approx. + 20 °C, 50% RH can be applied a second time approx. 5 h after the first application. Lower temperatures and higher humidity significantly extend the drying time.

The ELAPROOF + SAND floor covering applied twice can be applied after approx. 12 hours in conditions + 20 °C, 50 % RH.

Topcoat

The dried ELAPROOF coating is treated with clear ELACOAT TOPCOAT or tinted ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL topcoats to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. For monochromatic floors, we recommend topcoating with tinted ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL topcoat to even out any colour differences in the ELAPROOF + SAND coating. On flaked floors, we recommend flaking with ELAPROOF Art&Deco Colour Chips on wet ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL topcoat and, after drying, finishing with clear ELACOAT TOPCOAT topcoat.

In the topcoat, the topcoat component A is first mixed for 1 to 2 minutes, then the hardener component B is added to the mixed A component and mixed again for 2-3 minutes. Use, for example, the COLLOMIX KR series mixing paddle for mixing.

NOTE! Some shades of ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL topcoats may require 2 to 3 coats to achieve sufficient coverage! See a separate table for the coverage of ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL topcoats.

6.7 Coating of bathroom with acrylic floor

General

This coating work method is indicative and deals with the coating of a floor coated with acrylic mass in the bathroom with the ELAPROOF + SAND system. The ELAPROOF + SAND floor covering system consists of ELAPROOF PRIMER primer, ELAPROOF + SAND floor covering and ELACOAT TOPCOAT RAL / ELACOAT TOPCOAT topcoat.

The coating work method is not a repair plan or a construction plan. The overall design of the coating is always the responsibility of the site-specific designer.

Platform refurbishment

The floor coated with acrylic mass in the bathroom must be less than 10 years old during the coating phase, based on Finnish RIL 107-2012 guideline. Please check if there are any similar restrictions in the local regulations and follow those?

Any cracks in the acrylic-coated bathroom floor are first treated by soldering them. After the solder resin has dried, the floor coated with acrylic is mechanically sanded.

The sanded acrylic-coated floor is washed with an all-purpose cleaner and rinsed with plenty of water. The cleaned floor is allowed to dry for at least 2 hours before starting the coating.

It is always recommended to perform an adhesion test on acrylic-coated floors before starting the actual ELAPROOF + SAND floor coating to ensure proper adhesion.

Sealing

If necessary, the seals of all structural joints and boundary points such as bushings and columns, etc. are implemented with a combination of ELAPROOF INDOOR + ELAPROOF SUPPORT FABRIC.

ELAPROOF INDOOR must be mixed before starting the seals. Use a whisk in the mixer that does not take air into the sealant when mixing, eg COLLOMIX KR series mixing paddle.

Apply ELAPROOF INDOOR sealant with a brush and press ELAPROOF BASE FABRIC onto the fresh compound so that all air escapes under the support fabric. Apply another coat of ELAPROOF INDOOR.

Sealing of one running meter (1 rmt) requires approx. 0.15 l of ELAPROOF INDOOR.

Coating

The primed substrate is coated with ELAPROOF + SAND (M1 / EC 1) floor coating. The coating is applied to the substrate with a steel spatula.

The ELAPROOF + SAND floor covering applied twice can be applied after approx. 12 hours in conditions + 20 °C, 50 % RH.
