Chemical & abrasion resistant anti bacterial wall & floor thin epoxy coating
Vetotop EC198 is a hygienic breathable waterborne coating based on formulated epoxy resin and curing agents specially selected for their ability to be applied and cured in a wide range of temperatures, on dry, damp and/or slightly damp green concrete. The product is composed of 2 components; a base and a hardener, providing a lump-free smooth semi-gloss finish.

Design Criteria
Vetotop EC198 is designed to be a hard wearing single or dual coat application on cementitious or metal substrates. When used on metal substrates, it is recommended that the application takes place within 2 to 3 hours from substrate preparation to prevent early rust formation. The applied product will be resistant to water as well as a wide range of chemicals.
Priming
The Generally no primer is required for the use of Vetotop EC198, however where highly absorbent cementitious surfaces exist, Vetoprime AP443 can be used.
Application
The mixed Vetotop EC198 should be applied to the prepared surface using a brush or lambs-wool roller. Ensure that the area is completely coated and that ‘ponding’ of the material does not occur.
Curing
The applied coating can receive foot traffic in 24 hours, however it shall be allowed to cure for 7 days to achieve full cure to receive vehicular traffic and its chemical resistance properties.
Cleaning
Vetotop EC198 should be removed from tools and equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
The surface should be sound, clean, free from loose material, grease, laitance, dirt curing compound, etc.
Laitance and weak surface layer shall be removed using mechanical methods such as grinding or blasting in order to provide a sound well profiled surface. All necessary repairs should be made prior to application by using epoxy mortar from Vetorep ER range.
New concrete floors shall be at least 28 days old with moisture content of less than 5% (shall earlier application be required testing of substrate for moisture conditions shall be made).
Steel substrates should be grit blasted to surface quality SA2½ (BS 4232:Second Quality) and application shall take place within 2 to 4 hours after blasting.
Vetotop EC198 should not come into contact with skin and eyes or be swallowed. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid inhalation of vapors. Some people are sensitive to resins, hardeners and solvents. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection. If working in confined areas, suitable respiratory protective equipment must be used. The use of barrier cream provides additional skin protection. In case of contact with skin, rinse with plenty of clean water, then cleanse with soap and water. Do not use solvent. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately - Do not induce vomiting.
Vetotop EC198 is flammable. No Smoking. In the event of fire, extinguish with CO2 or foam.
