Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- 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 color 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). Detailed procedures are outlined in SOP GFC-106, titled Concrete Preparation.
- Mixing Ratio
One part Part A to one part Part B (i.e., 1: 1 ratio); the mixture may be diluted with solvent
- Application
Polyester brush and 9”, 14” or 18” rollers with microfiber nap
- Mixing
Pigmented Poly Hybrid is a two component system: Part A and Part B (the activator). Only when ready to use, mix Part A and Part B in a ratio of 1:1 as follows: thoroughly mix the pigmented Part A component separately, ensuring a uniform color. Then, add 1 part 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 Hybrid.
- Application Procedure
Primer required (refer to SOP for proper primer coat). Pigmented Poly Hybrids are very reactive materials that require special application and experienced applicators. Step-by-step procedures are provided SOPs GFC- 107 through GFC-118. All SOPs are on file with Eco-CorFlex.

Average Dry Times (77˚F and 25% RH): Dry times vary depending upon weather conditions. Cure to Tack-Free: 20 minutes; Waiting Time Between Coats: 1 - 2 hours (sand if >8 hours); Cure to Light Foot Traffic: 2 - 4 hours; Cure to Vehiclular Traffic: 24 – 48 hours; Full Cure: 7 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 and alcohols
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: High gloss
Pigment Type: UV and chemical-resistant
Chemical Composition: Amine cross-linked with aliphatic isocyanate
Thickness: Recommended for application of up to 6 mils dry film thickness per coat; heavy applications exceeding this thickness may result in a slow dry.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
1-gallon kit consisting of a 1 x 0.5-gallon Part A and 1 x 0.5-gallon Part B (Activator) containers. A 10-gallon kit is also available consisting of 1 x 5- gallon Part A and 1 x 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 = 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: 12 months at 77˚F (25˚C) when Parts A and B are not combined
