Main risks

• Skin and eye irritation; possible allergic reactions or respiratory sensitisation during mixing and application.
• Release of vapours and odours; risk of dizziness or headache in poorly ventilated areas.
• Flammability of the product and its solvents; risk of ignition from sparks, flames or cigarettes.
• Rapid heating and gas release when mixing large volumes; possible pressure build-up in the container.
• Very slippery surface during application and while wet or freshly cured.
• Adhesion failure, bubbles or cracks if the substrate is damp, dirty or unstable.
• Environmental damage and persistent staining in the event of uncontained spills.
• Sanding dust during repairs or between coats; possible irritation of the respiratory tract.

Safe use

• Check the instructions on the packaging and perform a test in a discreet area to confirm compatibility and finish.
• Ensure constant ventilation; open doors/windows or use local extraction where appropriate.
• Wear chemical-resistant gloves, protective goggles, long-sleeved clothing and a suitable respirator for vapours/particles as appropriate to the product.
• Remove sources of ignition: do not smoke and keep flames, sparks and any tools that could generate them away from the work area.
• Prepare the substrate clean, dry and sound; remove dust, grease and loose coatings.
• Measure and mix only the amount you can apply within the indicated working time; mix at low speed and spread the material immediately. Avoid leaving large volumes in the bucket.
• Observe the drying and curing times between coats; avoid dust-carrying draughts and insects over the fresh surface.
• Cordon off the area; keep people, children and pets away during application and initial curing; signpost wet floors.
• In areas prone to moisture or heavy traffic, consider using compatible anti-slip additives recommended by the manufacturer.
• In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse with plenty of water; if persistent symptoms appear after inhalation of vapours or dust, seek medical attention.

Storage and maintenance

• Keep containers tightly closed, in their original packaging, in a cool, dry and ventilated place, protected from direct sunlight, heat, frost and moisture.
• Keep containers away from sources of ignition and from food or feed; keep out of the reach of children.
• After use, close immediately to limit the ingress of air or moisture; clean tools as indicated in the product instructions.
• Do not decant into unlabelled containers; check the expiry date before applying.
• In the event of a spill, ventilate, contain with absorbent material and prevent it reaching drains; manage waste safely.
• For the applied flooring, clean with pH-neutral products; avoid aggressive solvents, abrasive scourers and high-pressure jets.
• Protect the finish by placing felt pads under furniture and avoiding dragging; treat oil stains or other colourants immediately.
• Periodically inspect high-wear areas and plan maintenance recoating when gloss or anti-slip texture diminishes.

Restrictions of use

• Do not apply on substrates that are wet, affected by rising damp, or under rain/condensation.
• Do not use in enclosed spaces without adequate ventilation nor near open flames or hot work.
• Do not mix with other coatings, solvents or additives not indicated by the manufacturer; do not over-dilute.
• Avoid excessively thick coats in a single pass or application outside the temperature and humidity ranges recommended for the product.
• Do not walk on, wash or cover the area until the cure indicated for pedestrian or vehicular traffic has been reached.
• Do not use on surfaces in direct contact with food or drinking water, or in swimming pools or aquariums, unless the product specifies such suitability.
• People with asthma, skin allergies or sensitivity to vapours should avoid exposure during mixing, application and sanding.
• On floors with underfloor heating, switch it off before application and during the initial cure; switch it back on gradually once hardened.
