Install Guide - Oil Stop + Chemical Resistant + Clear Top Coat (201 / 2 / 15)

This guide provides field-proven steps for installing a system that uses Epoxy.com Product 201 Oil Stop Primer on oil-saturated concrete, followed by Product 2 chemical resistant epoxy, and finished with Product 15 clear top coat. Always read and follow the latest data sheets for each product.

1 - System Overview

• Product 201 - Oil Stop Primer for oil contaminated or saturated concrete.
• Product 2 - Chemical resistant epoxy coating for industrial floors.
• Product 15 - Clear epoxy sealer / top coat for protection and gloss finish.

2 - Materials and Tools

• Materials: Products 201, 2, and 15; optional quartz aggregate if broadcasting.
• Mixing: low speed drill, mixing paddle, clean pails, calibrated measuring containers.
• Application: squeegee, notched trowel, rollers, spiked shoes, solvent for cleanup (MEK or acetone as allowed).
• Safety: gloves, eye protection, respirator, and proper ventilation per SDS.

3 - Surface Preparation

• Ensure concrete is clean, sound, and dry. Remove oil, grease, coatings, laitance, and dust.
• Shotblast or grind to the appropriate CSP profile.
• Oil-saturated slabs: degrease, rinse, and dry. Apply Product 201 to seal remaining oil.
• Concrete age: minimum 28 days or fully cured. Maintain substrate temperature above 55 deg F.

4 - Mixing Ratios (by volume)

• 201: 1 part A : 1 part B. Mix 3 minutes at low speed. Do not aerate.
• 2: 2 parts A : 1 part B. Mix 3 minutes at low speed.
• 15: 2 parts A : 1 part B. Mix 3 minutes at low speed. Components should be 65 deg F or above.

5 - Application Steps

Step 1 - Prime with Product 201 (Oil Stop Primer)

• Apply evenly to prepared, dry concrete. Work into the surface; avoid puddles.
• Allow to cure per Product 201 data sheet before applying subsequent layers.

Step 2 - Base Coat with Product 2

• Apply Product 2 at the specified spread rate for proper film build and coverage.
• For quartz systems, broadcast aggregate to rejection. After cure, sweep and vacuum excess quartz.
• Observe recoat window per Product 2 data sheet before sealing.

Step 3 - Clear Top Coat with Product 15

• Apply Product 15 as a clear sealer over the base coat or broadcast surface.
• Typical film thickness: 10–14 mil per coat. Apply one or more coats as required.
• Follow Product 15 recoat limits and curing schedule for optimal clarity.

6 - Curing and Return to Service

• At 77 deg F: walk-on after 24 hours; light traffic after 48 hours; full cure in 7 days.
• Lower temperatures extend cure times; higher temperatures shorten pot life.

7 - Limitations

• Do not thin with solvents.
• Maintain required ambient and substrate temperatures during application.
• Do not apply over active moisture or oil intrusion.

8 - Safety and Cleanup

• Use gloves, eye protection, and ventilation. Refer to product SDS for full safety data.
• Clean tools before gel using MEK or acetone per local regulations.
