Area Coverage
Various substrates have different porosity conditions, and the estimated coverage spread for a gallon is based on actual testing. Actual test results may vary depending on actual porosity condition of the substrate applied. The list below provides the area coverage in square feet (sq. ft.) for 1-gallon of CM 2007 NSC-AG.
Coverage Rates (Square feet/ gallon) CM2007 NSC-AG
Concrete (Dry Cast) Porous 100-150 sq.ft. Concrete (Wet Cast) Porous 125-175 sq.ft. Concrete (Wet Cast) Polished 200-250 sq.ft. CMU 100-150 sq.ft. Exterior Plaster 100-150 sq.ft. GFRC (Glass Fiber & Polymer) 150-200 sq.ft. High-Density Fiber Cement 150-200 sq.ft. Masonry (Joints and Seals) 100-150 sq.ft. Natural Stone 150-200 sq.ft. Stucco (Porous) 100-150 sq.ft. Stucco (Painted) 150-200 sq.ft. Split-face Block 100-150 sq.ft. Terracotta 150-200 sq.ft. Surface Preparation
The surface to be applied must be free from any dirt or any type of foreign materials that will impair bonding to substrate. CM 2007 NSC-AG can be applied on either dry or slightly damp surfaces. However, excessive moisture can affect penetrating performance thus reducing treatment efficiency. For best results, thoroughly clean surfaces and keep moisture below 15% for best performance. Use of material requires knowledge of standard safety practices and good protection for areas being applied, keep children and pets away from the work area. Maintain good air ventilation if used indoors. The material is ideally applied in fairly ambient temperatures below 100 °F. If planned to use in warmer conditions, spray application would help ensure better spread coverage. Not recommended to be applied on temperatures below or near freezing temperatures 32°F (0°C). This will cause the liquid to freeze.
Product Application
For spray applications, the product can be both applied either by using a short foam nap-roller for smaller jobs or via spray atomization or airless techniques for larger size applications. Please follow recommended spray pressure application and optimize when desired coating is achieved, preferably using fan widths from 6 – 10 inches either with 9 (0.009”), 13 (0.013”), or 15 (0.015”) thousandths of an inch size tips, including fine-finish low pressure type tips of similar sizes. Guideline for selecting spray tip for Airless and High-Volume Low Pressure (HVLP). Proper tip size selection is important and is designated according to tip size. For example, a typical 515 tip size, the first digit refers to the fan width and is half the size of the working fan width. The second and third digits refers to the orifice size in thousandths of an inch. Example, a typical airless GRACO or Titan sprayers with select Tip number 515 is identified as follows: First digit 5 = 10” fan pattern at about a foot away from the object sprayed Second and third digits 15 references the orifice size in thousandths of an inch Always maintain good saturation of the substrate, depending on the porosity successive coatings may be needed to ensure good penetration. Do not over coat when material overruns the substrate, this is a sign of saturation. Wait between coats, the surface must be reasonably dry, and no wet-look appearance is observed.
