Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Areas of Usage
When used in combination with the appropriate topcoat, for use in both interior or exterior installations including warehouses, manufacturing facilities (food preparation, food processing, and chemical processing plants), parking lots, chemical storage areas, laboratories, airplane hangars, washrooms, showers, garages, basements, walls, patios, walkways and handicap ramps.
- Surface Preparation
Allow new concrete to 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 followed by alkali neutralization).
- Mixing Ratio
Four parts clear or colored resin (Part A) to one part catalyst (Part B), i.e., 4:1 ratio by volume; the mixture may be diluted with solvent. Pigments may be added for custom color applications.
- Application
Polyester brush and 9”, 14” or 18” rollers with microfiber nap
- Mixing
Pigmented and clear Hydro Polymers are two component systems: Part A and Part B (the activator). Mix Part A and Part B in a ratio of 4:1 as follows (do not mix until ready to use): thoroughly mix the pigmented Part A component separately, ensuring a uniform color. Then, add 4 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
The pigmented and clear Hydro Polymer may be used in a variety of coating systems as a moisture-mitigating primer coat.

Average Dry Time at 77˚F (25˚C): Dry times vary depending upon weather conditions. Cure to Tack-Free: 4 - 6 hours; Cure to Tack Form: 1 -2 hours; Waiting Time Between Coats: 12 - 24 hours (sand if >36 hours); Full Cure: 7 days. Note: A 100% Solids Polymer may be applied over the Hydro Polymer within 2 – 4 hours; however, this only applies to the moisture-tolerant 100% Solids Polymer and does not apply to a Poly Hybrid or Poly 3000.
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, non-oxidizing acids, alkalis, alcohols) Industrial Flooring.
Reducing: May be reduced with xylene or citrus solvent (or combinations thereof); consult local air district rules or regulations
Finish: Low gloss

Part A and Part B Activator 5 gallon kit (54.0 lbs); 4 gallon Part A & 1 gallon Part B. Approximate weight; may vary depending upon pigment and fill level
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 = 1 hour 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.
