Dairy Coat Antibacterial

Antel Dairy Coat Anti-Bacterial is formulated with a highly effective anti-microbial agent, boasting a 99.999% kill rate against E. Coli and MRSA.

This water-based epoxy resin coating is specifically designed for easy application and superior performance in challenging environments.

Here's why Antel Dairy Coat is a perfect choice for various locations:

🔹 Food Production (Dairies, Breweries, Food Factories): Maintains hygiene with a non-toxic, easy-clean surface that resists contamination and meets strict standards.

🔹 Water Management (Tanks, Sewage Plants, Bunds & Water Plants): Water-based and won't pollute water supplies. It creates a tough, waterproof layer ideal for containing liquids and protecting structures.

🔹 Grain Storage (Silos): Safeguards grain from moisture damage, mold, and wear-and-tear associated with silo operations.

🔹 High-Sanitation Areas (Abattoirs, Kennels & Catteries): Provides a sanitary and easy-to-clean surface that can withstand high-pressure washing and disinfection, reducing the risk of bacterial growth.

Antel Dairy Coat Anti-Bacterial can be used virtually anywhere that concrete or masonry requires protection or waterproofing.

Recommended areas and types of use include:
- Wall coating in areas of food manufacture and storage.
- Tank lining for protection against mild chemicals.
- Waterproofing and decorative finish for all brick, concrete, cement, masonry, and asbestos surfaces.
- General weatherproofing and waterproofing coating.
- Application to damp surfaces where other paints cannot adhere.
- Membrane to prevent rising damp in floors.
- Sealing coat for materials containing asbestos.
- Sealing wet rooms.

The additive in Dairy Coat Antibacterial does not leach, ensuring minimal environmental impact. Its durability against scratching, UV exposure, salt spray, temperature cycling, and various cleaning chemicals, including chlorine bleach and disinfectants, ensures long-term effectiveness.

This coating effectively targets a wide range of bacteria, including Listeria, Monocytogenes, Salmonella Enteritidis, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Aspergillus Niger, MRSA, and E. Coli, with no reported instances of bacterial resistance.

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.

Dairy Coat can be applied in mildly damp conditions but will not tolerate standing water.

Although Dairy Coat 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 Dairy Coat to. If there are any leaks, these should be repaired with Antel Waterstop or Antel Epoxy Putty before applying the Dairy Coat. 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.


MIXING

For simplicity we would recommend using a separate pack of Dairy Coat 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.



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.

NOTE REF 1
Antel Dairy Coat – Clear
With the formulation of the emulsion the mixture will take on a milky colour. This milkiness will gradually disappear during the curing cycle provided that the coating is not too thickly applied nor allowed to fill holes in the surface area of the application. If either of these situations does occur the milkiness will not disappear. All voids or surface imperfections must be carefully filled prior to any application of Clear Dairy Coat.
Antel Dairy Coat is available in a variety of colours. Please enquire for details.
