Application
Surface Preparation
- Concrete Surfaces: Ensure concrete is at least 28 days old with an open texture. Remove all curing compounds, sealers, oil, dirt, debris, and unsound concrete. Use sandblasting, shotblasting, or scarifying for mechanical preparation. Vacuum thoroughly to remove dust.
- Steel Surfaces: Must be free of paint, oil, grease, and sandblasted down to white metal for optimal adhesion.
- Joints and Edges: Sawcut edges 1/4” deep if subjected to heavy wheel traffic. Maintain moving joints through the coating and fill cracks over 1/16” wide with a 100% solids epoxy mortar.
Mixing and Application
- Mixing: Condition materials between 60°F and 90°F. Mix Parts A and B separately before combining. Add Part B to Part A (2 Parts A to 1 Part B). Mix for 3 minutes with a low-speed drill until well blended.
- Application: Apply with a notched squeegee or roller. Backroll with a spiked roller to reduce surface imperfections and improve bond. For a non-slip finish, broadcast clean, dry aggregate over the freshly applied coating before it levels out.
- Top Coat: Apply additional coats or a seal coat once the initial coating is tack-free, typically 4 to 18 hours after application.
Coverage and Cleaning
- Coverage: Approximately 75-125 sq ft per gallon, depending on surface texture. Two coats are recommended for optimal appearance and protection.
- Cleaning: Clean tools and spills with SpecChem Solvent 100, Xylene, toluene, or MEK immediately after use.
Curing and Post-Application
- Curing: Allow the first coat to become tack-free before applying the second coat. Do not exceed 18 hours between coats.
- Traffic: The coating is suitable for foot traffic after 24 hours and vehicular traffic after 72 hours under normal conditions.
Packaging
- Available in 3 gallon units (2 – 1 gal. Part A Resin & 1-gal. Part B Hardener) and 15 gallon units.
Shelf Life
- Store in original containers, tightly closed, and do not allow accumulation of water or contaminants. The shelf life is two years from the date of manufacture.
Test Data
- Coverage: Approximately 75-125 sq-ft per gallon, depending on the surface texture of the concrete.
