Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Areas of Usage
Primarily used as a color coat where high UV, chemical and abrasion resistance is required. Used in warehouses, manufacturing facilities (food preparation, food processing, and chemical processing plants), parking lots, chemical storage areas, laboratories, airplane hangars, washrooms, showers, 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, beadblasting, diamond grinding) or chemical treatment (acid washing followed by alkali neutralization).
- Mixing Ratio
Two parts Part A to one part Part B (2:1 ratio); the mixture may be diluted with solvent
- Application
Polyester brush and 9”, 14” or 18” rollers with microfiber nap
- Mixing
Pigmented Poly 3000 is a two component system: Part A and Part B (the activator). When ready to use, 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. 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 pigmented Poly 3000).
- Application Procedure
Pigmented Poly 3000 may be used in a variety of coating systems and is typically used as a UV-stable color coat.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
15-gallon kit consisting of 2 x 5-gallon Part A containers and 1 x 5-gallon Part B Activator container. Also available in a 1.5-gallon kit consisting of 1- gallon Part A and 0.5-gallon Part B (Activator) containers
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: 2 years at 77˚F (25˚C) when Parts A and B are not combined
