In selecting PoolCoating
System 10 for your swimming pool you have chosen to reduce your year-on-year
pool maintenance significantly. To get the longest life from your re-coated
pool, we have put together the following information which you should read
before applying the product. Of course, if you have any queries, do not hesitate
to contact us.
1. DESCRIPTION
PoolCoating System 10 is a twin pack water based resin coating designed for
safe and easy application in the marine, aquatic and leisure industry. PoolCoating System 10 has many advantages over conventional swimming pool paint and
other traditional coatings. Once dry, PoolCoating System 10 forms a tough
waterproof non-toxic barrier that is resistant to oil and most mild chemicals.
PoolCoating System 10 can be applied to sand and cement render, Marbleite and glass
fibre as well as numerous other hard surfaces.
2. PREPARATION
Surfaces must be clean and free of grease or other contamination. Surfaces can
be slightly dampened but not wet or subject to running water. Do not use
solvents of any type. Only use water based degreasers that can be washed away
thoroughly and allowed to dry leaving no residue. All holes must be made good as
they will fill up with with the coating and discolouration will occur and all
leaks must be stopped using Antel Water Stop,
Antel Epoxy Putty or
Antel SBR Bonding Agent as appropriate. Where damp or wet surfaces exist
constantly, seek technical advice. For pools that are already painted make good the surface
and then sand and clean the existing paint or coating to ensure a sound base.
Do not apply PoolCoating
System 10 to render that contains PVA as this does not allow penetration of the
coating.
Antel SBR Bonding Agent mixed in to the render is recommended as it
increases the render's water resistance and reduces the possibility of cracking.
3. MIXING
Stir the contents of the larger tin. Add the contents of the smaller
tin to the larger tin and mix vigorously for 4 minutes to ensure thorough mixing. A drill equipped
with a mixing paddle should be used.
4. APPLICATION
Apply using brush, roller or airless spray. Allow PoolCoating System 10 to dry
(normally 6 - 8 hours at 20°C). Drying time is dependent on
temperature - warmer conditions shorten the drying time. Apply a second coat of
PoolCoating System 10 when the first coat is touch dry. Finally apply a clear
coating of PoolCoating System 10 once the second coat is touch dry.
Please note: PoolCoating
System 10 is a coating system and not a paint. It is a chemically engineered two
pack coating. Therefore, once mixed, you have 1 - 1½ hours to apply the
coating - this is referred to as the Pot Life. Full cure is the time it takes
for the coating to become totally solid.
Pot Life 1 - 1½ hours at 20°C
Touch dry 6 - 8 hours at 20°C
Full cure 3 - 7 days
At increased application
temperatures (above 20°C) the pot life is reduced and therefore
application time is decreased.
5. Refilling a pool
Once PoolCoating System 10 is fully
cured (3 - 7 days),
wash pool with a hosepipe and drain before refilling.
6.
Coverage
Depending on the surface coverage and porosity of the substrate, coverage is
approximately 6 - 8 square meters per litre.
7. Cleaning
Brushes and rollers should be cleaned with cold water and detergent straight
after use
8. Storage
Store PoolCoating System 10 in dry, cool and frost free conditions. Shelf life
is 12 months.
