- Features and Benefits
- Excellent Adhesion: Concrete fails before bond. Standard version can be applied over damp concrete.
- Adjustable Cure: 3 different speeds of hardener can be mixed and matched to minimize down time
- 100% Solids: Low odor makes it ideal for use in Pharmaceutical and Food & Beverage facilities
- Esthetic: Provides an attractive finish as part of the TerraChip flooring system. Designed to hold chips in place to ensure a rich, even pattern
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Application Temperature Guideliness
- LV BaseCoat- 45°F-110°F
- LV BaseCoat Redline- 40°F-80°F
- LV BaseCoat Infrared- 35°F-55°F
- Application Overview
- Environment
The surface temperature must be at least 5° above the dew point to prevent moisture condensation.
- Substrate
The concrete must be structurally sound and free of oil, grease, and other contaminants. The concrete must be prepared to a surface profile of CSP 2 to 3 by diamond grinding or light shot blasting.
- Mixing
Part “A” should be mechanically pre-mixed for 90 seconds before adding Part “B”. After adding Parts “A” and “B” together, mix for 90 seconds. Do not hand mix.
- Application
Immediately pour activated product on the substrate and, using a squeegee, pull out the material at the desired coverage rate.
- Rolling
Using a 3/8” nap non-shedding roller, roll the product in both directions to ensure even coverage.
- TerraChip Aggregate
Broadcast the chips in an upward motion to allow them to rain onto the surface evenly. Broadcast within 30 minutes of application of LV BaseCoat (time will vary with temperature and version used). 16 pounds of chips are required for 100 square feet.
- Scraping
Remove the excess chips by scraping. Vacuum the surface. Apply appropriate clear coat(s) as directed.
- Recommended Uses
- Basecoat for TerraChip System
- Primer or build coat
- Maintenance
Do not wash the floor within 5 days of installation. Exposure to water before the floor is completely cured may dull the finish. Damp mop as needed with a clean mop head and clean, warm water with a mild detergent or degreaser. Rinse thoroughly to avoid leaving residue. When using a new cleaner for the first time, test clean an inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility with the floor.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Product Limitations
- Rising Temperatures
Concrete will outgas during periods of rising temperatures. To prevent bubbling, always apply when the application and cure temperatures will be constant or decreasing.
- Cracks
Moving cracks in the substrate are likely to transfer to the coating unless treated properly.
- Moisture
All concrete surfaces should be tested for moisture before applying a seamless coating. Water vapor transmission upwards through on-grade (or below grade) concrete slabs may result in system failure. If moisture emissions exceed 3 lbs./1000 sq. ft./24 hours per ASTM F1869, or concrete relative humidity exceeds 75% per ASTM F2170, use of TerraPrime MM may be required prior to application of the coating system.
Safety & Health
