Technical Data

1. DESCRIPTION

Antel PoolCoat System 10 is a three coat system, described as a PACK’, consisting of two coats of colour, e.g. Aqua Blue, White, York Stone and one coat of clear, acting as a top coat to protect and seal the underlining colour while adding increased gloss, chalk resistance, chemical resistance and further enhancement of a ‘smooth feel’ finish.

A Packis supplied as 2 x 5 litres of colour and 1 x 3 litre of clear top coat. This will cover 30-35 m2 in 3 coats. Therefore as an illustration, if you have a 60 m2 pool area, then you require ‘2 Packs’. 

The formulated epoxy resin technology used is the result of decades of experience in formulating, testing, manufacturing and supplying high spec, high tech products for easy and safe application, tailored for their specific environment and PoolCoat System 10 is no exception. Antel PoolCoat System 10 possesses most of the properties of conventional epoxy resins with many additional advantages, particularly its tolerance of damp application conditions, chemical resistance, prolonged UV stability and overall durability. Application is as easy as ordinary emulsion paint and it dries quickly to form a tough, easily cleaned coating, providing a waterproof barrier. The coating is non toxic, resistant to oil, and most mild chemicals. Subsequent over coating can be carried out after the original surface has been thoroughly degreased and cleaned.

2. USES

The scope of applications for Antel PoolCoat System 10 is extensive and it can be used virtually anywhere that concrete or masonry requires protection or waterproofing.

3. PACKAGING

Supplied as a ‘pack’:
2 x 5 litres of colour and 1 x 3 litre of clear top coat.

4. COVERAGE

Depending on the substrate, coverage is approximately 30-35 square metres per 5 litres on a non porous, smooth surface. With rougher and more porous surfaces the coverage is reduced.

5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

5.1. PREPARATION

THE PERFORMANCE OF THE COATING CAN BE SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED IF THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT STRICTLY ADHERED TO.  IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THE SUBSTRATE IS SOUND.

Do not apply in temperatures below 10 °C/50 °F and ensure there is at least a 4 hour weather window.  We do not recommend application late in the day, due to dropping temperatures and increased humidity.

PoolCoat System 10 can be applied in mildly damp conditions but will not tolerate standing water.

Although PoolCoat System 10 will overcoat most other finishes and paints, the best results are achieved when surfaces are clean and free of other finishes/coatings. If applying over an existing coating or to a non-porous surface, mechanically sand the area to create a key.

All surfaces should be dry, mildly damp or at least not subject to running water. Particular attention should be made to degreasing surfaces before application. All voids and surface imperfections must be carefully filled.

Clean the surface you will be applying the PoolCoat System 10 to. If there are any leaks, these should be repaired with Antel Waterstop or Antel Epoxy Putty before applying the PoolCoat System 10. If unsure, please contact us for technical advice.

The pot life is approximately 1.5 hours.  This is based on a temperature of 20 °C/68 °F.  If you are applying the coating in higher temperatures, the pot life may be reduced.  The material will become unworkable once outside of this pot life.

Once mixed, it is only possible to apply a single coat.  Do not attempt to return to the mix to apply a second coat.

Once application is complete please wait 4-5 days before refilling your pool.  If the average temperatures has been over 20 °C then this can be reduced to 3 days.

5.2. MIXING

For simplicity we would recommend using a separate pack of X for each coat, however if you would like to use one pack for both coats, you will need to accurately divide the A and B packs proportionately using digital scales.

1. Mix the A Pack thoroughly on a slow speed.

2. Mix the B Pack thoroughly on a slow speed.

3. Pour the contents of the B Pack into the larger A Pack.

4. Mix again thoroughly on a slow speed (ideally with a mixer paddle) for a minimum of three minutes, so that the two components are completely mixed. 

5. Pour into at least one roller tray to maintain pot life.

6. Start application immediately.

5.3. APPLICATION STEPS

1. Apply the first coat by medium pile roller or brush.

2. Wait 24 hours before applying the second coat. Reduced time between coats maybe possible, but it’s very important to seek technical advice from Antel before attempting this.

3. Within a maximum period of 48 hours, apply the second coat.

4. Wait 24 hours before applying the final clear coat. Reduced time between coats maybe possible, but it’s very important to seek technical advice from Antel before attempting this.

5. Apply the clear coat using foam roller.

6. After applying the final coat, wait 3-7 days (depending on temperature) before rinsing and refilling your pool. 

Antel can supply a special roller Application Kit. It contains the following products to make sure that your Pool or Pond gets the perfect application:

• Two Antel Medium Pile Rollers
• One Antel Foam Roller for the 3rd Sealer Coat
• One set of Disposable Application Clothing
• One Antel Roller Frame 

6. DRYING & CURING

At 20 °C, and with reasonable ventilation, the coating is touch dry in 8 hours and hard dry in 12 hours. Maximum cure, hardness and chemical resistance is obtained within 7 days.

8. STORAGE

Store in a cool, dry and frost free area in original containers. Protect from freezing. Keep out of the reach of children. A shelf life in excess of 12 months can be expected for unopened containers kept in the above conditions. 

9. CLEANING EQUIPMENT

When using spray equipment a thorough rinsing with cold water every hour will prevent a buildup of cured material. Brushes and rollers should be washed with cold water and detergent and rinsed thoroughly in cold water.

Application equipment used to apply the 3rd Clear Sealer Coat should not be cleaned with water, but simply allowed to cure/harden and then disposed of.

10. HEALTH & SAFETY

Antel PoolCoat System 10 is much safer to handle than other resin systems; however, it is recommended that all skin contact is avoided and that if contact is made, are washed immediately with soap and warm water. It is advisable to use a barrier cream and gloves when applying.

Reviews
Mr Peter S purchased our Poolcoating System 10, SBR, Epoxy Mortar & Epoxy Grout to completely transform his pool

Mr Stan H purchased our Swimming Pool Paint

Hi team,

I’d like to post a review after using your products.  
We received fantastic help and advice from Julian whilst we planned and executed the build of our pool. From the waterproofing, through to the specialist paints, we received sound advice and it was never too much trouble for them. I’ll also say that their calculation of the quantities meant we didn’t spend more than we needed to. Thanks for everything, through each step we took. 

Mrs Beverley H purchased our Pool Coating System 10
With limited experience of painting and decorating, I was daunted by the task of having to re-paint my pool. I would like to thank Antel's Technical Support (Julian in particular) for his patient and timely responses to my numerous questions and concerns, which helped me achieve a successful outcome.

Mr Hank T purchased our Swimming Pool Paint
It looks great, feels great. I did everything by the book, 3 weeks of sanding and grinding. I left it for 10 days before filling and I think it was all worth while. Many thanks for all your help.

Ms Coral M purchased our Pool Coating System 10
