- Features
- PERMACOAT 3000 CT allows for fast, easy applications at tem-peratures as low as 45°F.
- In addition, the system provides chemical resistance and physical performance much higher than those found in paints and many other thin mil coatings.
- Rapid cure, resulting in minimal downtime.
- Very low odor
- Non-skid safety finish
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Functions
The PERMACOAT 3000 CT system is designed as a medium duty (30- 90 mils) floor coating and/or secondary containment system where moderate mechanical abuse and chemical exposures are anticipated. PERMACOAT 3000 CT can be installed over most sound substrates including old or new concrete, steel and wood. PERMACOAT 3000 CT provides a cost effective alternative to high build floor toppings.
- Cure Time & Coating Thickness
Cure Time
The cure time of PERMACOAT 3000 CT and other resinous systems are very dependent upon the temperature of the substrate. The chart below represents the approximate times for the respective service conditions, following the last coat:
Service (Hours) 50F 60F 70F Foot Traffic 14 10 8 Light Chemical 24 16 12 Coating Thickness (40 - 50 mils)
Step Coverage (SF/gal) First Coat 100 Broadcast Second Coat 100 - 120 Coating Thickness (75 - 90 mils)
Step Coverage (SF/gal) First Coat 100 Broadcast Second Coat 80 - 100 Broadcast Third Coat 80 - 100 - Product Application
PERMA COAT 3000 CT application is as follows:
- Use a rubber squeegee to spread the resin over the pre-measured area to be covered.
- Immediately back roll the PERMA COAT 3000 CT with a short nap (1/8 inches) wool or mohair roller.
- After the coating has been back rolled and uniform thickness verified, the surface should be saturated with a silica broadcast.
- After the first coat supports foot traffic, the excess silica can be removed and the remaining steps completed.
PERMACOAT 3000 CT should not be applied over substrates:
- Which are wet during the application.
- Subject to extreme hydrostatic pressure.
- Unsound structures.
- Contaminated substrates which cannot be cleaned.
- At temperatures below 45°F.
- Clean-Up
All mixing and application equipment should be cleaned immediately after use. If this is done, soap and water, or bio-degradable cleaners can be used. If the material has begun to set, more aggressive solvents will be necessary.
- Maintenance
For systems designed for splash and spill exposures, routine wash downs are recommended to reduce the length of chemical exposure. This step is not necessary where the product is recommended for containment service.
