Feed Passage Epoxy Coating

Antel Feed Passage Epoxy Coating tackles the head-on challenges faced in agricultural feed passages. This advanced, solvent-free formula delivers a seamless, easy-to-clean floor that resists damage from silage acids, heavy machinery, and everyday wear and tear.

Here's why Antel Feed Passage Epoxy Coating is the ideal choice for your livestock operation:

🔹 Superior Durability: Withstands harsh agricultural environments, protecting against silage acids that can eat away at concrete.

🔹 Enhanced Hygiene: The smooth, non-porous surface prevents feed build-up and promotes easy cleaning, minimising the risk of bacterial growth.

🔹 Animal Comfort: The smooth, comfortable surface encourages better feed intake. Cows have sensitive tongues, and a rough concrete surface can be unpleasant for them to eat from.

🔹 Increased Feed Intake: Our customers report a significant increase in feed intake (up to 10%) after installing Antel Feed Passage Epoxy Coating.

🔹 Long-lasting Performance: Excellent colour retention and high flexural strength ensure a lasting, attractive finish.

🔹 Available in Various Colours: Choose from a range of colours, or customise for larger orders, to create a bright and appealing feeding area for your animals.

In short, Antel Feed Passage Epoxy Coating promotes animal wellbeing and productivity by creating a cleaner, easier, and more comfortable feeding environment.

Preparation:
Surfaces must be dry and free from all foreign matter such as dust, grease and dirt etc. Weak laitance and loose or flaking material must be removed by ‘grit’ blasting or at the very least wire brushing. Best results can be obtained by the use of the appropriate Antel cleaner.

Due to the porosity of substrates having an effect on the structure of self smoothing systems, it is important to apply a primer to the substrate in order to seal it. Antel’s Self Smoothing Floor Screed Primer has been especially developed for this purpose.

Mixing:
Stir the B Pack. Empty the entire contents of A Pack 1, A Pack 2 & B Pack into the bucket (as supplied) and mix with drill and paddle for 3 minutes on a slow speed. Slowly add powder C Pack while mixing continuously. Finally, stir for a further 3 minutes on a slow speed to obtain a smooth free flowing mix. Pour immediately. Do not allow the aggregate to settle before pouring.

Application:
Once mixed Antel Self-Smoothing Floor Screed can generate a lot of heat. Storing the material in a cool place and applying in cooler conditions will reduce the amount of heat generated and result in the best possible finish.

Having allowed the previously applied Antel Self Smoothing Floor Primer to cure, pour the compound on to the substrate and spread out using a squeegee/float before using a ‘spiked’ roller, which not only aids movement of the compound but aids de-aeration also. Apply at a thickness of 2 mm.

IMPORTANT - We strongly recommend wearing spiked shoes so that a spiked roller can be used across the entire area while still wet. Failure to do this may result in a subpar finish.

Curing:
Pot life 160g mix @ 25°C = 25 minutes
Thin film set time @ 25°C = 7 hours
@ 10°C = 23 hours
Full cure schedule 2 - 7 days at ambient temperature.

6.5 Overcoating:
Further protection can be obtained by using one of a selection of Antel floor paints.

6.6 Cleaning tools:
Immediately after use, tools should be cleaned with Antel cleaning solvent.
