with industry standard GB50209-2010.
5. Ensure the change in elevation of the subfloor does not exceed 2mm within a 2square meter area.
a. Refer to industry standard GB50209-2010 for more detail.6. Ensure substrate is free of grease, glue, wax, and other contaminants that will
impair adhesive bonding.
7. If cracks in foundation exist, repair before installation and seek professionalrepair team if necessary.
8. For optimal life of subfloor and overall concrete foundation, apply apenetrating water based silicate sealer before applying adhesive to the
substrate for increased moisture and vapor mitigation.
9. Please consult local professional flooring technicians if renovating an olderflooring foundation as restoration methods differ across different floor
material compositions. For example, ceramic tile and wood do not share the
same restoration procedures.
Subfloor Preparation:
1. Temperature and HumidityMeasurements
Using a hygrometer, measure the relative humidity
to ensure it is within 20% 75%. The temperature
of the ground surface should ideally be 15C (59F)
with an acceptable temperature range being 10C
35C (50F95F).
Note: If the temperature is lower than this range the
materials will be too hard, making installation more
difficult and increasing the probability of cracking the epoxy sheet material.
Conversely, if the room temperature exceeds 35C (95F) the bonding adhesive curing
time will be accelerated adding risk of improper bonding between epoxy sheet
material, adhesive, and substrate.
Solution: After recording temperature and humidity levels, adjust accordingly using

professional equipment.
2. Moisture ContentDetection:
1) Use a calcium carbide hygrometer.
2) A simple alternative to measuring moisture content is to
tape one square meter of plastic film on the ground
bordered with transparent tape. After 24 hours has passed
inspect the surface area underneath the plastic film. If the color of the floor surface
has remained unchanged the substrate conforms to moisture content installation
requirements.
Note: Excess moisture content of flooring substrate may cause bubbling in epoxy
sheet flooring material following installation, in addition to an overall shorter flooring
service life. It should be noted that this is generally the case for all floor covering
options.
Solution: Use a fan or hot air gun to dry moisture then immediately apply a water
based silicate sealer for prolonged moisture and vapor mitigation.
3. Subfloor StrengthThe compress strength of your floor must be greater than or equal to C25. In addition,
ensure that the substrate is clean of sand and other debris and does not have any holes,
indentation or concrete delamination damage.
-
7/30/2019 Can Fast Installation and Maintenance Manual

Tongxiang Composite Materials Co.
Solution: Using a sharp chisel like the one pictured above, scratch the substrate in a
crisscross manner. If the concrete flakes, chips, or otherwise results in spalling, the
strength of the floor is insufficient to install the FRP epoxy sheet material.
Note: If the compress strength of your substrate is less than C25, forklifts and other
heavy duty machinery can cause permanent damage to the floor foundation. This
additional stress can also result in reduced bonding between the epoxy sheet flooring
and the substrate, which will damage the material and yield a shorter service life.
If the compress strength of your floor is initially insufficient for your flooring
demands one option is to first apply a 100% solids self-leveling epoxy primer to
increase the floor strength. If hollowing exists in the sub floor first eradiate the
damaged area, then proceed to fill the hole with epoxy resin cement mortar to be
leveled and polished after curing is complete.
If the floor activity entails using vehicles with solid tires weighing less than 500kg
(1,102lbs) it is also acceptable to use a cement-based screed to fill the hole. If you
decide to go with this option, ensure your cement-based screed meets the following
performance requirements:
Shrinkage Rate 0.1% Flexural Strength 7Mpa (1,105psi) Compressive Strength 30Mpa (4,351psi) Bond Strength 1.5Mpa (218psi) Thickness 8mm
If you use vehicles equipped with pneumatic tires, the cement-based substrate repair
system must meet the following performance parameters:
Flexural Strength 7Mpa (1,105psi)
Compressive Strength 30Mpa (4,351psi) Bond Strength 1.5Mpa (218psi)
-

Thickness > 3mm
Note: The thickness of the cement-based substrate repair system is critical. If the
thickness is less than what is specified for each repair option the probability of
damaging the floor is significantly higher.
4. Flatness of the Subfloor
Ensure the change in elevation of the subfloor does not exceed 2mm within any given
2 square meter area.
Note: If the change in elevation exceeds 2mm the aesthetic appearance will diminish
following installation.
Solution: Using a 2 meter ruler, mark the areas where there is a change in elevation
then proceed to correct the discrepancies using a high power floor polishing machine.
For severe changes in elevation, apply an epoxy reinforced cement-based substrate
repair system for a completely level floor.
5.Subfloor CleaningTo achieve optimal adhesive bonding the
subfloor must be free of glue, wax, grease,
and other contaminants.
Solution: Clean the substrate with detergent,
lye, or other cleaning compounds. A steam
cleaner can also be used as long as no damage is done to the subfloor surface or
flooring foundation.6. Cracks in SubfloorOver a long period of time the expansion and contraction of existing cracks will result
in wrinkled floor material.

Tongxiang Composite Materials Co.
Cut into Cracks and Irregular Contraction Joints:
1) Every 20cm make 1215cm deep cuts into the existing cracks at a
perpendicular, 90 angle.
2) After making new cuts, blow dust and other debris out from between cracks
using an air compressor or other form of high pressured air.3) Insert lateral slit corrugated steel pieces into newly formed cuts. After all
corrugated steel pieces are in place, pour epoxy resin mixed with quartz sand
into the cracks to fill the joints perfectly.
4) After inserting the epoxy resin mixture, smooth the surface so that it is flush
with the surrounding floor areas.
5) In areas where repair was previously conducted remove the repair substrate
and apply an epoxy reinforced cement-based screed. After curing is
complete, follow steps 1 through 4 above for crack treatment.
6) After crack repairs are complete allow the epoxy resin mixture to cure for 24
hours before moving forward with the installation process.
For expansion joints, do not apply Can Fast FRP epoxy sheet flooring. Instead, install
an expansion joint cover. For micro-cracks a primer must be applied to the entire
subfloor. This should include an Acrylic Polyvinyl acetate or similar priming product
compatible with the 2-component polyurethane adhesive used for the epoxy sheet
material.

Adhesive and Damp Proof Membrane
1. Adhesivea) For optimal performance and service life it is recommended that a
2-component polyurethane adhesive be used to install Can Fast FRP Epoxy
Sheet flooring systems. Two-component polyurethane adhesives are
solvent-reactive compounds used for various absorbent and non-absorbent
subfloors for high traffic, industrial, indoor and outdoor facilities. The
adhesive should be mixed at a component A to component B ratio of 5:1,
with a weight of 12.5kg for component A and 2.5kg for component B.
2. Epoxy Damp Proof Membranea) For subfloor preparation it is recommended that an epoxy damp proof
membrane (DPM) be applied to your subfloor prior to installing Can Fast
FRP epoxy sheet material. This DPM should be solvent free and
environmentally friendly for optimal moisture resistance that preserves the
integrity and strength of your subfloor. Epoxy primers can also be used.

III.Can Fast FRP Epoxy Sheet Installation
1. Precautions
1) Ensure no material damage of sheet rolls was incurred during transportation.2) Within installation area shoes of workers must be clean at all times. Other
peripheral activities must also be eliminated such as installation of wallpaper,
ceiling fixtures, or fire protection.
3) Installation area must be well ventilated and adhesive manufacturers safetyand handling instructions should be followed.
4) Ideal room temperature for installation is 10C 35C (50F95F). Lowerroom temperatures will result in lower pliability of epoxy sheet material
yielding a higher risk in material surface being easily cracked. In addition,
the adhesive will take longer to cure. Conversely, if the room temperature
exceeds this range the adhesive curing time will accelerate too rapidly for
effective installation which can decrease the bonding between epoxy sheet
material and substrate.
5) At the beginning of installation process lay out epoxy sheet material face-upto eliminate rolled-up stress allowing the material to return to its natural flat
state.
6) Tool Inspection: Ensure floor polisher, seam cutter and other tools are ingood condition and that installation area is clean and subfloor preparation is
complete. Also ensure you have easy access to a reliable electric power
source for electrical equipment use.
7) Visually inspect quality of epoxy sheet material before installing. Foruniform appearance each roll should have the same batch number. It should
be noted that there is a chance that the color of one batch be slightly different
in color from another due to a change in batch ingredient proportions. One
batch is equivalent to 5,000 square meters thus if your project is below this
quantity, the change in color should not be an issue.

2. Epoxy Sheet Material Cutting and Prelaying
1 Lay the epoxy sheet material based on to the specified floor pattern.
Note: Precise measurements must be made before cutting epoxy sheet material.
Ensure that a 2 to 3cm margin exists to overlap one adjacent sheet with the other
2 As you are making measurements mark the surface of each sheet lightly with
a marker to ensure properly alignment of adjacent epoxy sheets at 3cm
intervals (as seen in figure below).
3. Adhesive Troweling
1) Begin pre-laying FRP epoxy sheet material according to premeasuredspecified flooring design then proceed to fold back the sheet material in a
symmetrical fashion as shown in the diagram below.
Note: Carefully roll back the epoxy sheet to prevent creasing the material. Also
be sure to inspect the subfloor for sand and other debris that will impair bonding.
If any contamination exists clean the area immediately before proceeding.
2) Using the power mixer and paddle, begin mixing the 2-componentpolyurethane adhesive according to the component A to component B ratio of
5:1 with each respective weight proportions.

7/30/2019 Can Fast Installation and Maintenance Manual
16/25
Tongxiang Composite Materials Co.
Note: The appropriate amount of adhesive should be approximately 450g per
square meter. Read the adhesive mixing and application instructions carefully
before proceeding. If the mixing ratio of 5:1 is not followed strictly, the bonding
quality will be diminished.
3) Stir the adhesive components evenly with the power mixer for two to threeminutes.
4) Using the notched adhesive trowel, begin to evenly distribute the adhesiveacross the floor area exposed by the folded back portion of epoxy sheet
material.
Note: Only placean appropriate amount of adhesive on the subfloor based on the
specific portion of the installation area you are in. If an excessive amount of
adhesive is applied to the installation area at one time, some of the adhesive will
cure before you are able to lay the epoxy sheet material. Scraping up cured
adhesive can result in uneven application of subsequent adhesive coating causing
surface irregularities.
5) Before moving forward, wait 10 to 30 minutes for the adhesive to set.Note: If you wait past this time period the adhesive will be too cured, reducing its
bonding capabilities.
4. Laying the FRP Epoxy Sheet
1) Once the adhesive has set, proceed to lay the epoxy sheet material over theadhesive, leaving 3cm on one edge to overlap with the adjacent epoxy sheet.
-
7/30/2019 Can Fast Installation and Maintenance Manual
17/25
Tongxiang Composite Materials Co.
Note: Ensure the epoxy sheet remains aligned within the specified measurements
and that the edge is parallel with any adjacent epoxy sheet. Also ensure that the
3cm portion hanging over the adjacent epoxy sheet does not come in contact with
any adhesive whatsoever.
2) Using the cork smoother, start from the middle of the freshly laid epoxy sheetand push any air bubbles outward toward the edge, applying uniform pressure
with both hands. Once air bubbles are eliminated, go back over the same half
of the sheet using the wide steel floor roller.
3) Once the first half of the sheet is laid and pressed, proceed to fold back thesecond half of the same epoxy sheet and repeat steps above.
Note: At the point where two adjacent epoxy sheets meet, do not apply pressure
on the freshly laid epoxy sheet within a 10cm range from the overlapping edge.
When cutting the joint, the freshly laid epoxy sheet may be slightly lifted away
from the subfloor, thus by leaving 10cm you prevent any premature bonding with
the subfloor. After the joint groove is cut you can proceed to apply pressure to the
entire sheet.
4) At the point in which the two adjacent epoxy sheets overlap, use a straightedge and the dolphin hook knife to cut through the 3cm of overlapping
material of freshly laid epoxy sheet.
-
7/30/2019 Can Fast Installation and Maintenance Manual
18/25
Tongxiang Composite Materials Co.
Note: Hold the blade of the dolphin vinyl hook knife at an angle for the most
accurate, cleanest cuts, trimming any remaining sheet material where necessary
using a straight razor.
5) After cutting and discarding the excess material use the cork smoother toeliminate air bubbles, then go over the entire epoxy sheet with the wide steel
floor roller for half an hour, while applying a 50kg to 70 kg weight load on the
roller. The half hour time period is suggested to be completed in two 15
minute intervals.
Note: If a corner or edge of epoxy sheet material has not successfully bonded with
the adhesive thus curls upward, use the heat gun to reapply the sheet to the
subfloor. If this does not fix the problem, place heavy objects on the area on the
area for an extended period of time.
5. Seam Cutting
1) After cutting the overlapping portion of the freshly laid epoxy sheet andeliminating all air bubbles, use the wheeled groover to cut a U-shaped seam
2/3 deep across the joint of the two adjacent epoxy sheets. In areas such as
walls where the wheeled groover cannot be used, finish with the hand held
groover.

6. Joint TreatmentCold Welding
Cold welding, one of two joint treatment methods entails applying liquid epoxy resin
to the joints. The epoxy resin mix is supplied by Can Fast at the request of the buyer
and is derived from the same batch of epoxy resin used to manufacture your FRP
epoxy sheet material in order to maintain performance and color consistency.
1) If epoxy resin is not already premixed, mix components A and B evenly in aseparate plastic bucket based on instructions provided.
2) To prevent defacing the freshly laid FRP epoxy sheet material, place a line ofmasking tape on either side of the seam to be peeled off after liquid epoxy
resin mix has cured.
3) Fill the groove completely with the epoxy resin mix.4) Smooth the seam using a straight edged adhesive spatula trowel.5) Allow epoxy resin to cure for 6 hours before removing masking tape.6) After the masking tape has been removed clean the surface area completely,
wiping away any debris from the surface area of the epoxy sheets.
6. Joint TreatmentHeat Welding
Heat welding is recommended for aseptic environments and is the ideal joint
treatment method for healthcare and heavy traffic locations.
1) Set the hot air welder gun to 350 degrees Centigrade and equip the weldergun with a narrow tip speed nozzle.
2) Feed the weld rod through the nozzle and proceed to weld the flooring jointat a constant speed to ensure weld rod fully merges with epoxy sheet joint.
3) Once weld rods are partially cool but still warm, use the spatula knife andplate to cut the excess weld rod away to make it flush with the surface of the
epoxy sheets.
4) Discard the excess weld rod debris and clean the surrounding work area.

IV.Maintenance and Repair
1. After completing the installation process store away all tools and clean the entire
work area.
2. To give the adhesive proper time to cure do not allow foot traffic on the newly
installed epoxy flooring for 12 hours or vehicular traffic for at least 48 hours
following installation.
3. During the first 12 hours following installation also prevent sharp objects from
coming in contact with the floor.
4. Ensure all sand and other debris is swept away. Sand has a Mohs hardness of 6
which will result in epoxy resin being scratched away.
5. While the curing process takes place prevent people with dirty shoes that carry sand
and other debris from walking on the epoxy sheet flooring.
6. If equipment needs to be installed in the area following flooring installation ensure
that measures are taken to protect the surface of the floor.
7. Can Fast epoxy sheet flooring systems should be mopped daily using water or
neutral detergents. If more heavy duty cleaning is required use chemical cleaners
necessary to address the specific stain.

Addendum: Self-Leveling Your Subfloor
Subfloor Pretreatment
1. Using a 1,000 watt or more floor grinding machine, remove paint, residue,and other contamination that will impair the bond between self-leveling
compound and subfloor.
2. After floor polishing is complete, use a 2000 watt or more industrial vacuumcleaner to clean all dust and other debris.
3. For cracks use lateral slit corrugated steel pieces then apply epoxy resin withquartz sand as specified in 6. Cracks in Subfloor above.
Priming
1. For absorbent subfloors such as concrete and cement screeds amulti-functional primer should be applied, diluted with water at a ratio of 1:1.
2. For non-absorbent subfloors such as marble, terrazzo, and tile we recommendusing a deep penetrating primer such as a two-component water-based epoxy
primer.
3. If the moisture content is too high (greater than 3%) and you need to begin theinstallation process immediately, you can use an epoxy primer damp proof
membrane provided the moisture content does not exceed 8%.
4. Before moving forward, ensure the primer has been applied uniformly and hasbeen given sufficient time to dry.
Mixing
1. While emptying contents of self-leveling compound into mixing pot, add cleanwater and stir.
2. The amount of water should strictly follow the water-cement ratio specified inself-leveling compound product manual. Excess water will decrease the
strength of concrete upon curing.
3. To ensure optimal quality of self-leveling mix, use a low-speed drill with asuitable mixing paddle.
4. Mix until solution is a lump-free, slurry composition. Allow to sit for 3minutes then proceed to mix again.

Lay
1. Dump the mixed self-leveling compound into the beginning of the installationarea, and then proceed to evenly distribute the compound across the
installation area using a notched trowel, dumping more of the compound as
needed. After distributing with a notched trowel, back roll the compound with
a spiked flooring roller to release any air that may have been trapped during
initial compound application.
2. To prevent dispersing and defacing the freshly laid compound wear spikeshoes at all times while in the installation area.
3. Close the installation area to all activity immediately following application.Do not walk in the installation area for 5 hours and do not allow heavy objects
to come into contact with the area for at least 10 hours as the curing takes
place. After 24 hours has elapsed, the Can Fast FRP epoxy sheet material can
be laid.
4. During winter temperatures, FRP epoxy sheet material should be laid 48 hoursafter self-leveling compound has cured.
5. For polished subfloors the FRP epoxy sheet material can be applied 12 hoursafter self-leveling compound curing has occurred.
