Precautions and Limitations
Moisture Vapor Emissions Precautions
All interior concrete floors not poured over an effective moisture vapor retarder are subject to
possible moisture vapor transmission that may lead to blistering and failure of the coating system.
It is the coating applicator’s responsibility to conduct calcium chloride and relative humidity probe
testing to determine if excessive levels of vapor emissions are present before applying any
coatings. APF can supply moisture remediation products. Consult our technical service
department. Arizona Polymer Flooring and its sales agents will not be responsible for coating
failures due to undetected moisture vapor emissions.
Handling Precautions
Material is flammable. Extinguish all flames, pilot lights and electric motors until all vapors are
gone and the coating is hard. The vapor is harmful. Use only with adequate ventilation or
appropriate cartridge type respirator. Avoid contact with skin, wear protective gloves. Read
Material Safety Data Sheet before using.
Slip and Fall Precautions
OSHA and the American Disabilities Act (ADA) have now set enforceable standards for slipresistance
on pedestrian surfaces. The current coefficient of friction required by ADA is .6 on
level surfaces and .8 on ramps. Arizona Polymer Flooring recommends the use of angular slipresistant
aggregate in all coatings or flooring systems that may be exposed to wet, oily or greasy
conditions. It is the contractor and end users’ responsibility to provide a flooring system that
meets current safety standards. Arizona Polymer Flooring or its sales agents will not be
responsible for injury incurred in a slip and fall accident.
