GENERIC DESCRIPTION
TYPICAL APPLICATION
Floor Coating (primer plus 2 coats) Aggregate, Color Quartz, or Flake Broadcast Top Coat over AmeriCote Systems
SURFACE PREPARATION
Concrete: Apply only to clean, dry and sound concrete substrates that are free of all coatings, sealers, curing compounds, oils, greases, or any other contaminants
- New concrete should be cured a minimum of 28 days.
- Concrete that has been contaminated with chemicals or other foreign matter must be neutralized or removed.
- Remove any laitance or weak surface layers.
- Concrete should have a minimum surface tensile strength of at least 300 PSI per ASTM D-4541.
- Surface profile shall be CSP-3 to CSP-5 meeting ICRI (International Concrete Repair Institute) standard guideline #03732 for coating concrete, producing a profile equal to 60-grit sandpaper or coarser. Prepare surface by mechanical means to achieve this desired profile.
- Moisture vapor transmission should be 3 pounds or less per 1,000 square feet over a 24 hour time period, as confirmed through a calcium chloride test, as per ASTM E-1907. Quantitative relative humidity (RH) testing, ASTM F-2170, should confirm concrete RH results 75%.
- All surface irregularities, cracks, expansion joints and control joints should be properly addressed prior to application.
- Outgassing may occur due to the porosity of some concrete surfaces. To reduce the effect of outgassing, the primer and coating should be applied when the temperature of the concrete substrate is dropping. This usually occurs in the evening: however the concrete substrate temperature should be measured with a surface thermometer for verification. Double priming will greatly reduce the effectsof outgassing by additionally filling the pores in the concrete

PACKAGING & COVERAGE
1 Part A : 1/2 Part B
100 sqft/gallon @ 16 mils
SPECIFICATIONS
- Mix Ratio 2:1 Resin to Hardener
- Prior to the application of Solid Seal RCU, either prime concrete surface with Starkrete 718 HGHB or AmeriCote AC592 or AC520, or install over a polyurethane system. Do not install Solid Seal RCU directly to concrete.
- If pigmented color is to be used, add pre-mixed color pack to Park A. Add one color pack per 1.5 mixed gallons for all colors.
- Pour Part B into the Part A pail and mix for a minimum of two minutes, using a mechanical jiffy-type mixer operated at low speed. Scrape the side of the pail to ensure the entire product has been properly mixed; any unmixed material left on the side of the pail will not cure.
- Apply mixed material by roller or squeegee and back-roll. Move quickly and empty eopoxy coating out of the pail and onto concrete surface as quickly as possible to provide maximum working time. Material left in the pail will generate heat and have a reduced pot life
