Tikkurila Temafloor 210 Clear is a solvent-free varnish used for dust binding, priming and topcoating especially where solventless and odourless products are needed. The lacquer can be used for patching when filled with sand.

Temafloor 210 Clear is widely used and has the highest quality. It has good resistance against abrasion, oils and grease. Varnish forms glossy, smooth and non-yellowing finish. Temafloor 210 Clear can be applied with mosaic flakes as a top lacquer.

Features & Benefits

• Good resistance against abrasion, oils and grease.
• Also for dust binding and priming of new and old concrete floors prior to laying Temafloor epoxy coatings and screeds; especially where solventless and odourless products are needed.
• Can be used as a finishing varnish in the Mosaic flooring system.
• Filled with sand also suitable for patching of concrete floors.
• Used as a binder for Temafloor 4000 Compact troweling screed.
• Suitable also for topcoating of concrete floors indoors.

Technical Data

• Volume Solids: Approx. 100%
• Specific Gravity: 1.1 kg / litre (mixture)
• Pot Life (23℃): Approx. 30 minutes after mixing, on substrate

Practical Coverage:

Coverage on concrete floors is on average:

• Primer: 5 – 8 m²/l
• Topcoat: 6 – 10 m²/l

Practical coverage depends on the porosity and evenness of the substrate and on the application method.

Mixing Ratio:

• Base: 2 parts by volume Temafloor 210 Clear
• Hardener: 1 part by volume 008 4431

Drying Time (23℃)

• Dust dry after 6 hours
• Recoatable after 16 - 24 hours
• Light trucking after 24 hours
• Fully cured after 7 days

Surface Preparation

New Concrete

• Remove laitance by power grinding or hydrochloric acid etching.
• Choose the method best suited for the premises.
• After grinding remove dust carefully with a vacuum cleaner.
• Hydrochloric acid etching is carried out with diluted hydrochloric acid (1 part concentrated hydrochloric acid, 4 parts water).
• Rinse with plenty of water.
• Dry the surface.

Old Concrete

• Remove all grease, oil, chemicals and other impurities by Maalipesu detergent.
• Remove old peeling paint layer by grinding.
• Choose the method best suited for the premises.
• Clean out pot-holes removing all loose friable material.
• Open cracks with e.g. an abrasive tool.
• Remove loose material and dust.

If cementitious screed is used, check compatibility with the levelling screed manufacturer.

Application Conditions

• The relative humidity of the concrete should not exceed 97%.
• The temperature of the ambient air, surface or coating should not fall below +15ºC during application or drying.
• Relative humidity of air should not exceed 80%.

Note! There is a natural tendency of this coating to chalk, discolor or yellow unevenly. It is recommended to use polyurethane topcoat when there are high aesthetical requirements on colour appearance.

Mixing Components

• First stir base and hardener separately.
• Mix the correct proportions of base and hardener thoroughly (approx. 2 minutes to get homogenous mixture) by using a low speed industrial hand drill with a paddle.
• Use power mixer for mixing.
• Insufficient mixing or incorrect mixing ratio will result in uneven drying of the surface, weaken the properties of the coating and risk the success of the application.

Application

Priming:

• Prime using 30–50% thinned Temafloor 200 Primer epoxy varnish.
• Pour the varnish mixture onto the floor and apply as much as is needed to impregnate the concrete surface.
• If necessary, repeat priming to get a non-porous surface. A porous priming coat will result in holes and air bubbles in the finished coating.
• Subsequent treatment can becarried out after 2 hours using "wet-on-wet" technique.

Patching:

• Prime using about 30% thinned Temafloor 210 Clear epoxy varnish.
• Pour the varnish mixture onto the floor and apply as much as is needed to impregnate the concrete surface.
• If necessary, repeat priming to get a non-porous surface.
• A porous priming coat will result in holes and air bubbles in the finished coating.
• Subsequent treatment can be carried out after 2 hours using "wet-on-wet" technique.
• Note! Concrete surface should always be primed before patching.

Topcoating:

• Overcoating should be done within 16–24 hrs after priming.
• If the primed surface is not overcoated within 24 hrs, it should be abraded.
• For finishing Temafloor 210 Clear epoxy varnish may be thinned up to 10%.
• Pour the mixture onto the floor and apply it with a trowel and level with a roller.
• Note! Add the remaining mixture to the next batch of the product, do not scrape it out of the container onto the floor.
