Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Areas of Usage
Primarily used as a primer and color coat in warehouses, manufacturing facilities (food preparation, food processing, and chemical processing plants), parking lots, chemical storage areas, laboratories, airplane hangars, washrooms, showers, garages, basements, patios, walkways and handicap ramps.
- 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, bead-blasting, diamond grinding) or chemical treatment (acid washing). Detailed procedures are outlined in SOP GFC-106, titled Concrete Preparation.
- Mixing Ratio
Two parts Part A to one part Part B (2:1 ratio); the mixture may be diluted with solvent or mixed with a compound and solvent to produce a three-component cementitious system
- Application
Polyester brush and 9”, 14” or 18” rollers with microfiber nap
- Mixing
Pigmented 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: thoroughly mix the pigmented Part A component separately, ensuring a uniform color. Then, add 2 parts Part A and 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.
- Application Procedure
Pigmented 100% solids polymer may be used in a variety of coating systems and may be used as a primer coat or as a color coat (where a clear coat is to be applied). Detailed application procedures are provided in standard operating procedures (SOPs) GFC-107 through GFC-118. All SOPs are on file with corporate Eco-CorFlex.

Average Dry 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., mold, mildew, salt, grease, oil and other petroleums, animal fat, feces, urine, bleach, solvents, chemical fumes).
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 (<32˚F). In cool temperatures above 50˚F and rising, acetone may be used in lieu of xylene.
Finish: Super high gloss
Thickness: Recommended installation of 6 mils; heavy applications exceeding this thickness (e.g., 3-component cementitious systems) may require the incorporation of a compound

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
Part A consists of 2 x 5 gallon containers; Part B (Activator), “fast” or “regular” cure, consists of a 1 x 5 gallon container
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed.
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
