Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Areas of Usage
Primarily used as a topcoat for interior installations including warehouses, manufacturing facilities (food preparation and food processing plants), washrooms, showers and basements
- Surface Preparation
New concrete must cure for at least 30 days prior to preparation and coating. Test for moisture and remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, preparation bond-inhibiting impregnations, waxes and other contaminants. Prepare concrete via mechanical abrasion (grinding, beadblasting, diamond grinding) or chemical treatment (acid washing) and follow with application of appropriate primer and/or color coat.
- Mixing Ratio
Two parts Part A to one part Part B (2:1 ratio); the mixture may be diluted with solvent. Metallic pigment may be added for metallic floor coating mixtures.
- Application
Polyester brush and 9”, 14” or 18” rollers with microfiber nap
- Mixing
Clear 100% solids polymers are two component systems: Part A and Part B (the activator). Only when ready to use, mix Part A and Part B in a ratio of 2:1 as follows: add two (2) parts Part A and one (1) part Part B in a bucket and mix immediately. Always mix at a slow mixing speed to avoid introducing air into the mixture. After thoroughly mixing Parts A and B, a reducer may be added; if so, re-mix thoroughly. Finally, if polypropylene anti-skid is to be incorporated in the mixture, add the required quantity and re-mix (do not exceed 4 ounces polypropylene anti-skid per 1 - 1 ½ gallons of clear 100% solids polymer).
- Application Procedure
Clear 100% solids polymer may be used in a variety of coating systems and is typically used as a premium top coat or as part of liquid art or liquid minerals flooring systems.

Average Cure Time at 77˚F (25˚C): Dry times vary depending upon weather conditions.Cure to Tack-Free: 4 - 6 hours; Waiting Time Between Coats: 4 - 12 hours (sand if >12 hours), however, “re-wet” coats of the same product may be applied immediately; Cure to Light Foot Traffic: 12 - 24 hours; Full Cure: 5 - 7 days.
Resistance To: Moisture, stains, chemicals and abrasion (e.g., water, mold, mildew, salt, grease, oil and other petroleums, animal fat, feces, urine, bleach, solvents, chemical fumes). Industrial Flooring
Reducing: May be reduced with acetone, xylene, or citrus solvent (or combinations thereof); consult local air district rules or regulations. Never use acetone with 100% solids polymer under cold weather conditions (<50˚F). In cool temperatures above 50˚F and rising, acetone may be used in lieu of xylene.
Finish: Super high gloss
Chemical Compoition: Modified bisphenol A epoxy resin crosslinked with aliphatic and cycloaliphatic polyamines

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
Part A consists of 2 x 5-gallon containers; Part B (Activator) consists of a 1 x 5 gallon container. Clear 100% Solids Polymer is also available in a 1.5 – gallon kit (1-gallon Part A and 0.5-gallon Part B)
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Pot Life: Pot life applies to material poured immediately onto the substrate following preparation. Pot Life = thirty (30) minutes for 1 - 2 gallons at 77˚F (25˚C) and 50% relative humidity (RH). If ambient temperature is greater than 77˚F and / or RH greater than 50%, pot life is dramatically shortened
Shelf Life: 12 months at 77˚F (25˚C) when Parts A and B are not combined Industrial
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed.
