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.

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).

-
Cleanup
Clean any tools and equipment with WD-40®

equipment, or concrete / hardscape surface,
clean immediately with WD-40® and a dry cloth
as needed.
-
Storage of Ekoflo Bucket Kit

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.
