- Features
- The PERMACOAT 6500 containment system allows for fast, easy applications with minimal down time.
- PERMACOAT 6500 is monolithic and non-porous, eliminating the most common avenues of flooring/containment failure (i.e. seams and porosity).
- The resinous PERMACOAT 6500 system exhibits very high physical properties, approximately 3-4 times those of standard concrete.
- Non-flammable
- Low odor
- Non-skid safety finish
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Functions
The PERMACOAT 6500 system is designed as a 60 - 250 mil secondary containment/floor system where exposure to harsh chemicals such as Nitric Acid, Glacial Acetic Acid, Ethylene Dichloride or NMethyl-2-Pyrrolidone are anticipated. PERMACOAT 6500 can be installed over most sound substrates including old or new concrete and many types of repair mortars.
- Typical Applications
- Sumps
- Trenches
- Chemical process floors
- Tank farm containment
- Chemical loading and unloading areas
- Drum storage areas
- Cure Time
The cure time of PERMACoat 5000 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) 70F 80F 90F Foot Traffic 10 8 6 Light chemical 14 12 10 Fork Lift 24 16 12 - Clean-Up
All mixing and application equipment should be cleaned immediately after use. If this is done, soap and water or biodegradable cleaners can be used. If the material has begun to set, more aggressive solvents will be necessary.
- Product Application
Application thickness may vary from 80 - 250 mils, depending on the expected service conditions. Factors to consider are length of chemical exposure, mechanical abuses and substrate texture. PERMACOAT 6500 should not be applied over substrates:
- Subject to hydrostatic pressure.
- Which are unsound.
- Which are contaminated and cannot be cleaned.
- At temperatures below 60°F.

Safety & Health
- Safety
PERMACOAT 6500 contains blended epoxies as the resin and blended amines as the hardener. Protective clothing and gloves are recommended to prevent sensitization to these materials. In case of ingestion or eye contact, it is advisable to contact a physician immediately.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
The PERMACOAT 6500 resin and primer are packaged in one and three gallon units. Each unit consists of pre-measured components, Part A (Resin) and Part B (Hardener).
