  5. Top 5 Tips for Ekoflo Bucket Kit

    EkoFlo contains isocyanate, and although rare, may produce an allergic reaction in some people. Persons allergic to isocyanate, and particularly those suffering from asthma or other respiratory conditions, should not work with isocyanate. When working with EkoFlo, always use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, impenetrable gloves, long sleeves and pants, and closed toe shoes or boots (avoid direct contact to skin).
    EkoFlo should be installed within an ambient and surface temperature range of 55°-90° F (12.7-32.2 C). Shaded, low sunlight, or colder areas will lengthen cure times. Conversely, direct sun, warmer areas will shorten cure times. Avoid temperatures at or below 55° F (12.7 C) and above 90° F (32.2 C) for EkoFlo installation, curing phase, or storage.
    Under-applying EkoFlo binder will reduce bond strength. Conversely, over-applying will adversely affect the curing process and aesthetic. Always consult manufacturer coverage rate guidelines, or contact TechniSoil technical support at: 877-356-2250.
    Do not install EkoFlo less than 48 hours before or after rainfall. In damp conditions, allow to dry completely before application. Disable any irrigation systems near treated areas during application and cure phase.
    Mask all adjacent surfaces with tape and polyethylene film to protect surface materials from possible staining (i.e. stone, pavers, concrete, etc.). Clean any accidental spills immediately with acetone and a washcloth.



  6. Preparation


    Always perform a test section using recommended installation methods to confirm suitability of materials and project conditions!
    Coverage rate is dependent on pebble size, and surface depth. See coverage chart.
    Surface sheen may vary over time due to weathering and foot traffic.
    For optimal water transfer permeability, a subbase comprised of compacted, screened rock is recommended. For heavier use projects, a subbase material with a higher load bearing capability is required, but may reduce overall permeability. Avoid applying EkoFlo over concrete or any solid/ non-drainable substrates.
    Keep project area free from any moisture such as rain or irrigation sprinklers, foot traffic, or otherwise until fully cured (24-72 hours in optimal conditions, or until completely dry).
    MATERIAL SELECTION
    Clean, dry, triple-washed, ¼- 3/8" (6.4 mm-1 cm) blend of pebbles (approximately 48 pounds (21.7 kg) included in bucket kit);

  9. Cleanup

    Clean any tools and equipment with WD-40® and a dry cloth as needed.
    In case of accidental EkoFlo spill onto tools, equipment, or concrete / hardscape surface, clean immediately with WD-40® and a dry cloth as needed.



  10. Storage of Ekoflo Bucket Kit

    Store unopened / unused EkoFlo out of direct sunlight in areas with a temperature range of 40° -90° F (12.7-32.2 C).



  11. Maintenance

    Treated areas should withstand normal conditions for 24-60 months before a maintenance coat is needed.
    If a maintenance coat is needed, apply EkoFlo at a rate of 100 ft2/gallon (2.5 m2/ litre) using a paint roller or brush.
