Sherwin Williams Resuflor LM

Sherwin Williams Resucoat LM is a fast curing high-build epoxy coating system for application of demarcation lines, hazard warning logo’s, hatching and direction for pedestrian and truck routings. Formerly Resucoat LM.

Best Uses

Sherwin Williams Resuflor LM provides a coloured high gloss finish that is hard wearing and has good general chemical resistance. Resuflor LM can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces and finishes subject to appropriate preparation. Resuflor LM is designed to be applied by brush, roller or trowel to tapes and markers with the minimum of creep, even on textured surfaces.

• 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

Sherwin Williams Resucoat LM is ideal for marking off floor areas in food processing and beverage line marking, chemical plant room line marking, engineering workshop line marking, automotive & aviation line marking, factory unit line marking etc. Provides excellent for all demarcation and walkways.

Application

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 Sherwin Williams Resuscreed PA.

Coated Surfaces: Prepare the 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.

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.

Recommended Systems

Open and porous substrates may require priming with Sherwin Williams Resuseal WB, also Sherwin Williams Resuprime ST may be used as primer on the dry substrates only with less than 75% ERH reading. Where the Relative Humidity of a substrate exceeds 75% ERH Sherwin Williams Resuprime MVT should be specified. Please refer to the table below for required number of coats to achieve proper moisture tolerance.

• 75-85 ERH% - 1 coat of Sherwin Williams Resuprime MVT at 200 μm per coat
• 85-92 ERH% - 2 coats of Sherwin Williams Resuprime MVT at 200 μm per coat
• 92-97 ERH% - 3 coats of Sherwin Williams Resuprime MVT at 200 μm per coat
