- Areas of Usage
Warehouses, manufacturing facilities (food preparation, food processing, and chemical processing plants), parking lots, chemical storage areas, laboratories, airplane hangars, garages, patios, walkways and handicap ramps. May be used as a clear top coat anywhere extreme chemical resistance and /or UV protection is required.
- 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) and follow with application of appropriate primer and / or color coat. Procedures are outlined in SOP GFC-106, titled Concrete Preparation and as part of SOPs GFC-107 through GFC-118.
- Mixing Ratio
Three (3) parts Part A to two (2) parts Part B (i.e., 3: 2 ratio); the mixture may be diluted.
- Application
Polyester brush and 9”, 14” or 18” rollers with microfiber nap.
- Mixing
Clear Poly Hybrid is a two component system: Part A and Part B (the activator). When ready to use, mix Part A and Part B in a ratio of 3:2 as follows: add three (3) parts Part A and two (2) parts 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, solvent may be added as a reducer; if so, re-mix thoroughly. Finally, if polypropylene antiskid is to be incorporated in the mixture, add the required quantity and remix (do not exceed 4 ounces polypropylene anti-skid per 1 - 1 ½ gallons of Poly Hybrid).
- Application Procedure
Clear Poly Hybrid may be used in a variety of coating systems and is typically used as a top coat. Step-by-step application procedures are provided in standard operating procedures (SOPs) GFC-107 through GFC- 118. All SOPs are on file with Eco-CorFlex.

Average Dry Time at 77˚F (25˚C): Dry times vary depending upon weather conditions. Cure to Tack-Free: 20 minutes; Waiting Time Between Coats: immediately (if same product) to 8 hours (sand if >8 hours); Cure to Light Foot Traffic: 24 hours; Cure to Vehicle Traffic: 48 hours; Full Cure: 3 days
Resistance To: Moisture, stains, chemicals and abrasion (e.g., water, mold, mildew, salt, grease, oil spills (and other petroleums), animal fat, feces, urine, bleach, solvents, chemical fumes, non-oxidizing acids, alkalis, alcohols, battery acid and calcium chloride)
Reducing: May be reduced with acetone, xylene or citrus solvent; however, citrus solvent should never exceed 50% of the total volume of the combined reducers. Consult local air district rules or regulations.
Finish: Super high gloss
Pigment Type: Not applicable
Vehicle Type: Poly Hybrid / aliphatic poly isocyanate
Thickness: Recommended for application up to 5.0 mils dry film thickness per coat. Heavy applications exceeding this thickness may result in slow dry.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
25-gallon kit consisting of 3 x 5-gallon Part containers and 2 x 5-gallon Part B containers. A 1.25-gallon kit is also available consisting of 0.75- gallon Part A and 0.5-gallon Part B 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 = 10 – 15 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 that 50%, pot life is dramatically shortened
Shelf Life: 6 months at 77˚F (25˚C) when Parts A and B are not combined
