- Features/Benefits
- Dense surface will resist mildew and bacteria growth.
- Consists of 100% epoxy solids to allow total compliance with VOC regulations.
- Contains no volatile solvents, permitting interior applications with virtually no fire hazard or toxic odors.
- Single coat application of up to 35 mils (0.89 mm) saves installation costs by elimination of multiple coats.
- Excellent adhesive properties permit application over other physically sound and firmly bonded coatings.
- One step seamless application reduces or eliminates floor joints and bridges non-moving cracks.
- Chemical-resistant surface provides for easy cleaning and maintenance.
- Bonds to itself allowing for multiple coats.
- Available in clear and many standard colors to provide a decorative and high gloss surface.
- USDA approved as an acceptable coating where there is a possibility of incidental food contact.
- Easy clean-up with soap and water.

- Limitations
Lexite 100 should not be exposed to steel-wheeled traffic or temperatures above 150°F (65°C). Lexite 100 should not be applied when ambient or substrate temperature is below 50°F (10°C).
- Estimating/Coverage
Lexite 100 should be applied at no greater than 100 sq. ft./gal. (2.45 sq. m/liter) which yields a film thickness of 16 mils (0.41 mm). When coating rough surfaces or where additional protection is required, Lexite 100 may be installed at application rates up to 25 sq. ft /gal. (.61 sq. m/liter) which yields a film thickness of 64 mils (1.64 mm). If further thicknesses are required, add aggregate or use Diamite SL or Diamite TR Epoxy Flooring. Diathane is recommended as a top coat where additional chemical and wear resistance are needed.
- Directions for Use
- Preparation: The surface to be treated must be physically sound, thoroughly clean, free of oil, wax, loose paint, rust, scale, and completely dry. New concrete must be thoroughly cured for at least 28 days before starting surface preparation. Base concrete must be shotblasted or acid-etched with Bitesin. All acid-etched concrete surfaces must be rinsed and neutralized with potable water and allowed to completely dry.
- Priming: All concrete to receive Lexite 100 must be primed with Diamite primer and allowed to dry tack free. Wood surfaces should be primed with a thin coat of Lexite 100 at the rate of 150 to 200 sq. ft./gal. (3.7 to 4.9 sq. m/liter) and allowed to cure. Sand lightly and apply a full coat of Lexite 100 at 100 sq. ft./gal. (2.45 sq. m/liter).
- Mixing: Thorough blending of all components is essential. Use a power drill with a Metco Jiffy mixing paddle. First, mix the binder separately; then, mix the activator separately. Next, add the mixed activator to the mixed binder and thoroughly blend for at least two minutes at revolution speeds that will not entrap air bubbles into the freshly mixed Lexite 100. Let stand for two minutes and mix again for one additional minute.
- Application: After the substrate has been primed, distribute the mixed Lexite 100 on the substrate with the use of a Diamite/Lexite Spreader Tool. This allows the material to be applied at the recommended application rate of 100 sq. ft./gal. (2.45 sq. m/liter). The spreading operation should then be followed by rolling with a shortnap or foam-rubber type paint roller to insure uniformity. The rolling operation should proceed in one direction with slow, even strokes. Avoid short, quick, back-andforth strokes such as are commonly employed in paint rolling technique.
- Working Time/Pot Life: All mixed Lexite 100 should be poured out of the mixing container within 15 minutes after blending and spread within 45 minutes.
- Cure Time: Lexite 100 becomes tack-free in approximately 8 hours and may be re-coated at this time if additional thickness or mils are desired. The Lexite 100 surface can be exposed to light traffic 18 hours after final application of the coating. Final cure time requires 3 to 5 days. All cure times are based on ambient and substrate temperatures at 70°F (21°C).
- Skidproofing: Lexite Quartz Granules or similar anti-skid aggregate may be broadcast into the coating while it is still fresh. Continue broadcasting until an excess of dry granules or aggregate remains standing on the surface. After curing, remove excess granules or aggregate by thoroughly sweeping with a stiff broom or vacuuming. Apply a seal coat of Lexite 100 with a squeegee, followed by rolling to lock all aggregate in place.
- Clean-up: Either DL Solvent or Waterzall Concentrate and warm water may be used for cleaning tools and equipment. i. Maintenance: Lexite 100 surfaces should be cleaned with a Waterzall Concentrate and water solution. Waterzall Concentrate may also be used at full strength to remove built-up deposits and stains. Lexite 100 may be reapplied to itself after sanding to remove gloss.
