Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of frost, damage, releasing agents, including dirt, efflorescence, form oil and other foreign matter. Loose or damaged material must be removed by water blasting, sandblasting or mechanical wire brushing and repaired. Avoid application over irregular surfaces. Resurface, patch or level surfaces to required tolerance and smoothness with appropriate Decoplast leveling materials.
Optimum Performance - Roll or spray Deco-Prep bonding agent over substrate prior to application of Decolastic Top Coat.
Pressure washing is a recommended means of surface preparation. Follow necessary safety precautions and adjust pressure to avoid damage to the underlying substrate or substrate condition. For mold, algae, and mildew removal, treat surfaces with a commercial mildew removal and/or wash product carefully following manufacturer's application and safety directions. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, and allow a minimum of 24 hours to dry thoroughly.
- Mixing
Mix with a clean, rust-free electric drill and paddle to a uniform consistency. Close container when not in use. Clean tools with water immediately after use.
- Application
Apply only to sound and clean, dry, properly prepared surfaces.
Do not apply over damp surfaces or during rain, hail, or snow events or if rain, hail, or snow is imminent. Apply Decolastic Top Coat in two uniform coats by brush, roller or with proper spray equipment to prepared/primed substrate. Apply coating in a continuous application, always working from a wet edge or architectural break to eliminate cold joints. Back roll open texture surfaces such as concrete masonry. Achieve 8.4 - 10.8 DFT per coat. Allow sufficient time for drying between coats.
Curing/Drying TIme - Times assume 70° F (21° C) and 50% relative humidity. Drying time varies with temperature/humidity and surface conditions. Protect installed product from rain, freezing, and continuous high humidity until completely dry.
Clean Up - Clean all tools and equipment immediately with water. Cured material may be removed by mechanical means.
- Coverage
- 590-690 ft² (49-58 m²) per pail for a single coat, applied at 12-14 mils (0.3 to 0.36 mm), wet to achieve 8.4 - 10.8 mils DFT per coat.
- 295-345 ft² (25-29 m²) per pail for two coats, applied at 12-14 mils (0.3 to 0.36 mm) per coat, wet to achieve 8.4 - 10.8 mils DFT per coat.
- Limitations
- Use Decolastic Top Coat only when surface and ambient temperatures are above 40°F (4°C) and below 100°F (38°C) during application and drying period.
- Store Decoplast materials in a cool, dry place.
- Sloped surfaces: Refer to Decoplast details.
- Decolastic Top Coat should not be used on weather-exposed horizontal or below grade surfaces or where immersion in water may occur.
- Do not apply Decolastic Top Coat to frozen surfaces.
- Do not overcoat with solvent-based materials.

Safety & Health
- Health & Safety
Health Precaution - Decolastic Top Coat is water-based. As with any chemical construction product, exercise care when handling.
- Warning - Causes eye and skin irritation.
Safety Precaution - Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
First Aid
- Eye Contact - Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Ensure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eye lids with fingers. Get immediate medical attention.
- Skin Contact - Immediately wash skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 to 20 minutes, while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
- Inhalation - If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration or give oxygen by trained personnel. Seek medical attention immediately.
- Ingestion - If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Call a physician or a poison control center immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Spills - Contain and collect in an appropriate container. Uncured material may be removed with water.
Disposal - Dispose of in accordance with local, state or federal regulations.
Warning - Keep container closed when not in use. Keep out of the reach of children. Not for internal consumption. For industrial use only.
