Sherwin-Williams Floorcoating Resucoat LM Line Marking Paint

Sherwin-Williams Floorcoating Resucoat LM Line Marking Paint

Traffic grade hard surface line marking paint

Resucoat LM is a fast curing high-build epoxy coating system for the application of demarcation lines, hazard warning logo’s, hatching and direction for pedestrian and truck routings. The coloured high gloss finish is hard-wearing and has good general chemical resistance. Resucoat LM can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces and finishes subject to appropriate preparation. Resucoat LM is designed to be applied by brush, roller or trowel to tapes and markers with the minimum of creep, even on textured surfaces.

Advantages

• High-build line marking in one application
• Minimal creep at line edges
• Fast setting on curing
• Low odour solvent-free
• Hygienic and easily cleaned
• Good colour stability

Recommended Use

• Food processing and beverage line marking
• Chemical plant room line marking
• Engineering workshop line marking
• Automotive & aviation line marking
• Factory unit line marking
• Excellent for all demarcation and walkways

Surface Preparation

New Concrete Floors:

New concrete must be clean, sound, dry, fully cured and surface laitance removed by vacuum enclosed shot blasting or mechanical grinding, a minimum strength of 25N/mm² is required.

Existing Concrete Floors:

Remove all dirt, oil, grease, old paint or any other surface contaminants by vacuum enclosed shot blasting, scarifying or mechanical grinding. Fats, oils or greases must be removed by mechanical means and detergent washing and making sure all residue of detergent is washed and removed by rinsing with clean water. Local repairs should be carried out using Resuscreed PA.

Coated Surfaces:

Prepare surface to ensure that there is an adequate mechanical key. Care should be taken to ensure compatibility between the existing surface and Resucoat LM.
Set out all line markings as required, marking positions with tape or chalk as appropriate. Ensure that all surfaces are prepared before mixing and only mix materials as required.

Application

Mixing: Mix the entire contents of the base with the hardener. If a separate mixing bucket is being used mix thoroughly ensuring all contents of both components are removed from the buckets supplied. Mix using a slow speed electric mixer for approximately two to three minutes until the two components are fully combined. The mixed unit should be applied immediately by roller, brush or squeegee with a consistent procedure. Floor areas should be cross rolled to ensure even application and to
minimise roller marks.

Application methods should be selected based on the size and area to be covered, and the thickness of the line to be applied.

Short or medium pile good quality rollers or brushes should be used, or straight edges such as trowels can be used if applying to tapes. Spread the material rapidly and then roll to finish.

Remove tapes shortly after application, by pulling across the line. Do not hold bulk materials in a pot or scuttle, as this increases the rate of reaction reducing the working time. Ensure that rollers are changed regularly to prevent cure of materials in the roller.

Application Conditions

The ambient temperatures of the areas should not be allowed to fall below 15°C throughout the application and the curing period, as this could have an adverse effect on the appearance and colour of the system. The surface temperature must be above 10°C. Where possible it is recommended that the application area is heated to a minimum temperature of 15°C ideally to allow the ambient and substrate temperature to stabilise prior to the installation.

Resucoat LM is not normally recoated, if required re-coat as soon as the surface is tack free (i.e. 4 hours onwards). For the best inter-coat adhesion Resucoat LM should be applied not later than 24 hrs after previous coatings.
