- Uses
Use as a primer, build coat, broadcast, anchor and top coat simply by selecting and mixing with the correct curing agent.
- Options
Color-Many standard and custom colors are available. Please refer to the price list for available colors. Brilliant or pastel colors may require multiple coats or double color packs to obtain full hide on a substrate of dis-similar color. Various aggregates of different size shapes and composition can be incorporated into PIP 1000 to improve traction in slip hazard areas.
- Limitations
Contamination and surface defects: If contaminates including oil, silicone, mold release agents and/or other materials are present, resin systems may fisheye or crawl away from the surface. All surface contaminates should be removed with a suitable detergent prior to application. Solvent cleaning of silicone based contaminates is not recommended. PIP 1000 will amber over time from UV exposure. Top coating with a pigmented d aliphatic urethane will provide UV stability.
- Recommended Application Rate
7-10 mils as a primer (optional additional of xylene solvent); up to 30 mils as a coating.
Primer Applications:
Up to 1 gallon of xylene solvent can be added per 3.00 gallons of resin (total 4.00 gallons) for a maximum concrete penetration. VOC rating at this dilution is < 250 g/l. 1000CR-B is the recommended hardener for this application.
- Inspection and Application
Caution! Follow all precautions and instructions prior to installation.
Substrate: The concrete substrate must be free of curing membranes, silicate surface hardener, paint, or sealer and be structurally sound. Do not coat if concrete contains Type III Portland Cement. If you suspect concrete has been treated or sealed, proceed with complete removal process. Consult your PIP representative for further instruction if Sodium or Potassium metasilicate hardeners or densifiers are suspected or have been utilized. Concrete must have a minimum internal tensile strength of 200 psi when tested in accordance of ASTM C1583. Concrete must have a maximum relative humidity of less than 75% when tested as per ASTM F2170.
Moisture: Moisture and moisture vapor transmission rates are dynamic in nature and may change over time. Initial testing does not guarantee future results. If the relative humidity of the concrete substrate is over 75% (using ASTM F2170), Protective Industrial Polymers must be consulted and issue a written moisture mitigation recommendation prior to product use.
Vapor/Contamination: Testing for MVT does not guarantee against future problems. If there is no known vapor barrier or the vapor barrier is inadequate, there is an elevated risk of bond failure. Other factors including the migration of oils, chemicals, excessive salts or Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) from the concrete from may also elevate the risk of adhesion difficulties. Consult your PIP representative for approved mitigation treatments.
Temperature and Humidity: During the application and cure of the coating, the substrate temperature, material temperature and room conditions must be maintained between 65°F (18°C) and 90°F (32°C). Relative Humidity (RH) should be limited to 30-80%. Do not apply coatings unless the surface temperature is more than five degree over the dew point.
- Application Equipment
- Protective equipment and clothing
- Jiffy® Mixer Blade model ES
- Clean container for mixing material
- Low speed high torque drill motor
- High quality short nap roller covers- ¼-3/8 inch nap
- Application Squeegee
- Preparation
Surface dirt, grease, oil and contaminates must be removed by detergent scrubbing and rinsing with clean (clear) water. Mechanical Preparation: Shot Blasting or grinding the surface is the preferred method of preparation. The success of industrial diamond grinding as a concrete preparation method will vary depending on technique and the hardness of the concrete.
Joints: All non moving joints (control joints) can be filled with a rigid or semi-rigid joint compound. Construction joints may be filled with semi-rigid joint filler and might need to be re-built and re-cut depending on conditions. Isolation or expansion joints must be filled with a flexible material designed for expansion and should not be coated over.
Mixing: In bulk packaging containers such as full 5-gallon containers and drums, pre-mix the Part A prior to in field metering.
Mix ratio for curing agents 1000HB, 1000CR 1000FS and 1000ST is 2 Parts A to 1 part B by volume. A pint of CPU color is recommended per 3 gallon mix. The color pack should be added and mixed in homogenously prior to adding the Part B hardener. Mix all components together for 2-3 minutes with a Jiffy® ES mix blade attached to a slow speed drill. Mix only enough material at one time that can be applied without exceeding the pot life.Note: Once this material is mixed, it can’t be resealed for later use.
- Application
APPLY PIP 1000 to the floor surface using a notched or flat squeegee depending on desired thickness. Leaving the material sit in the pail longer than 5 minutes will result in an increase of viscosity and reduce leveling properties. Back roll and evenly spread the wet coating using a ¼-3/16” inch nap non-shed roller. Care should be taken to overlap and cross lap, but not over roll the coating introducing air to the surface.
Recoat: PIP 1000 can be top coated with other PIP urethanes or epoxies within 24 hours (see exception under 1000FS-B curing agent) at 70-75F 30% RH without sanding or may be used as a topcoat over existing (sound) PIP epoxy coatings. If the re-coat window has expired, the prior cured coating surface must be sanded with 100 grit sand paper or sanding screen installed on a swing-type floor buffer. Sand to a uniform dulled surface. Remove all sanding debris with a vacuum and damp mop. Scrub with detergent and rinse with clean water. Surface must be dry before coating.
Spreading Rate: When PIP 1000 is applied as a primer, surface irregularities and porosity in the concrete may affect coverage rate. Be sure to plan accordingly as there may be a need for extra material to provide proper coverage. Material applied too heavy may blister or develop stress cracks or may remain soft for an extended time if applied very heavy in puddles at temperatures below 60°F. Too little material may produce dry spots and a non-uniform look. The best practice is to measure and grid the floor to be sure of proper application rate.
Curing (Drying): Allow the coating to cure (dry) for a minimum of 12 hours for 1000HB, 1000CR or 1000ST after application at 75°F (24°C) and 50% RH before opening the floor to light traffic, allow more time for low temperatures and higher humidity or for heavier traffic. For 1000FS, allow the coating to cure (dry) for a minimum of 6 hours after application at 75°F (24°C) and 50% RH before opening the floor to light traffic, allow more time for low temperatures and higher humidity or for heavier traffic. As a general rule, a temperature change of every +/-10-degree F will either double the cure time or cut in half. Full coating properties may take up to 7 days to develop.
- Maintenance Guidelines
Allow floor coating to cure at least one week before cleaning by mechanical means (IE: sweeper, scrubber, disk buffer).
Care: Increased life of the floor will be seen with proper maintenance and will help maintain a fresh appearance of your new Protective Industrial Polymers floor. Regularly sweep to avoid ground in dirt and grit which can quickly dull the finish, decreasing the life of the coating. Spills should be removed quickly as certain chemicals may stain and can permanently damage the finish. Only soft nylon brushes or white pads should be used on your new floor coating. Premature loss of gloss can be caused by hard abrasive bristle Polypropylene (Tynex®) brushes.
Caution: Heavy objects dragged across the surface will scratch all floor coatings. Avoid gouging or scratching the surface. Pointed items or heavy items dropped on the floor may cause chipping or concrete pop out damage. Plasticizer migration from rubber tires can permanently stain the floor coating. If a rubber tire is planned to set on the floor for a long period of time, place a piece of acrylic sheet between the tire and the floor to prevent tire staining. Rubber burns from quick stops and starts from lift trucks can heat the coating to its softening point causing permanent damage and marking.
Repair: Repair gouges, chip outs, and scratches as soon as possible to prevent moisture and chemical under cutting and permanent damage to the floor coating.
- Curing Agent Options
1000HB-B is a general-purpose curing agent with the best overall esthetics and gloss properties. It has the least resistance to amine blush. PIP 1000HB is not intended for direct-to-concrete applications where there are known or suspected high levels of water vapor transmission.
