3. Product Description
BASIC USE

ElastoFloor-FP is designed for multi-purpose gymnasium flooring in schools, recreation centers, and other similar facilities. These surfaces are well suited for basketball, volleyball, jogging, tennis, as well as other sport and non-sport activities.

COMPOSITION & MATERIALS

ElastoFloor-FP is a full pour system that is installed over a suitable substrate. It consists of a base layer, top layer, and finish coating. The base layer is comprised of self-leveling polyurethane (Optional - SBR rubber granules; typical rubber content is 15-20%). The base layer is applied in one or more layers to the specified thickness, normally 7mm in thickness.

The top layer of self-leveling polyurethane is applied to the specified thickness, normally 3 mm in thickness.

The completed polyurethane resin system is finished with 2-part polyurethane coating and game lines – as required.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

• Primer – 1-part polyurethane, if required, consult with manufacturer.

• Base layer – 2-part self-leveling polyurethane full pour or with optional - mixed with SBR rubber granules).

• Top layer – 2-part self-leveling polyurethane elastomer.

• Finish – 2-part aliphatic polyurethane.

• Game lines – 2-part polyurethane.

5. Installation

SITE CONDITIONS

Building must be closed in, permanent lighting and HVAC must function. Room must be conditioned prior to and during installation of systems. Relative humidity must not exceed 60% during installation. All backboards and overhead work must be completed. All in ground sleeve must be set and level with final playing surface. No other trades will be allowed in the work area. Stored materials must be protected and keep at a minimum of 65 F and a maximum of 75 F.

SUBSTRATE

Apply no sealers or curing compounds to the concrete.

The slab shall meet a tolerance of 1/8" in 10’. Concrete shall cure a minimum of 60 days and test for moisture content of less than 5%. The concrete shall be free of all bond breakers, such as paint, joint compound, etc. The final slab shall be clean, level, and dry. If substrate does not meet specified tolerances, high spots shall be ground down smooth and low spots leveled with approved materials. Consult with manufacturer.

INSTALLATION

• Primer – If required, apply 1-part polyurethane primer to substrate at the rate of 400-500 SF per gallon.

• Base layer – Properly meter and mix 2-part polyurethane (Optional - with SBR rubber granules) and spread in wet-to-wet fashion, in one or more applications to specified thickness, typically 7mm.

• Top layer – Properly meter and mix 2-part self-leveling polyurethane, and apply evenly to specified thickness, typically 3mm.

• Finish – Properly mix 2-part pigmented coating, and spray or roll apply evenly at the rate of .03 lbs. per SF.

• Game line markings – Measure, lay out, mask, mix 2-part marking compounds and apply game lines, as required.

CURE TIME

Do not allow foot traffic or other trades on completed floor system for a period of one week, or as per manufacturers recommendations.
