Options

Low temperature and Low Humidity

For applications where the temperatures are between 55°F-65°F combined with relative humidity levels (RH) between 20-35%, the use of PIP 2000-2100-Series Spike accelerator is recommended. Use of this accelerator will hasten the cure to be similar of the standard material in normal conditions (70-80F with 35-80% RH).
The use of this accelerator in normal conditions will result in a shorter working time, higher viscosity build, reduced leveling and increases stickiness and roller drag. When relative humidity (RH) is below 20%, please consult Protective Industrial Polymers for specific recommendations and limitations.

Do not apply coatings unless the surface temperature is more than five degree over the dew point. During the application and cure of the coating, the substrate temperature, material temperature and room conditions should be ideally maintained between 65°F (18°C) and 90°F (32°C) with relative humidity (RH) between 30-80%. DO NOT apply coatings unless the surface temperature is more than five degree over the dew point.

Color Pack: 0 VOC Color packs designated as CPU-xxxx are used with PIP 2000 UR. Many standard and custom colors are available; please refer to the price list for available colors. It is important to have a color consistent floor in a similar color before application of PIP 2000 UR or multiple coats may be required.

Texture: PIP GlossGrip #10 Additive can be incorporated into PIP 2000 UR to create a wear texture while maintaining an easily cleaned glossy surface.

Inspection and Application

Caution! Follow all precautions and instructions prior to installation.

PIP 2000 UR must be applied to an epoxy or other approved primer or base coat. Sections below detailing substrate, moisture and vapor/contamination apply to the required conditions of the concrete substrate prior to application of an epoxy primer.

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 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. 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 for further specific recommendations. 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. Testing for these prior to application is always recommended.

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. 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.

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: Use a Jiffy®ES mix blade attached to a slow speed drill. The color pack should be added slowly with the mixer running first to the 2000-B (Part B) and mixed thoroughly until color is uniform throughout the container prior to adding the 2000-A Part A. Add 2000-A (Part A) and mix all components together for 2-3 minutes. Product may be thinned with Xylene or S-1 solvent with a maximum addition of 8 ounces per mixed gallon of the PIP 2000 UR. Never use an alcohol solvent to thin a Protective Industrial Polymers urethane coating. Please consult Protective Industrial Polymers for additional thinning recommendations.

Optional GlossGrip or DiamondWear should be added after the Part A, Part B and color is mixed.

Application

Do Not Spray!!
Prior to coating, the floor must be completely free of fine dust and minute debris. It is best to mechanically wash, rinse and finally damp wipe the floor with clean towels and water. It is also recommended to rid roller of initial loose nap by wetting and painting a small scrap piece of plastic sheeting or cardboard prior to using on the floor. Atmospheric Relative Humidity above 50%, regardless of temperature, has a dramatic effect on reducing the workable wet edge tie-in time relating to consistent color development of PIP 2000 or PIP 2100 series urethanes. Temperatures above 75F have the same impact. When encountering either of these situations or a combination of both, it is imperative to mix, apply, and finish roll the coating within 10 minutes. Exceeding this time may present roller marks or dark edge lines. Plan your application pattern ahead of time so that these wet tie-in times can be met as practically possible.

Smooth Gloss Application

Pour entire mix as quickly as possible to the floor. Quickly spread material uniformly using a notched squeegee over the floor. Then level by back-rolling with a 3/8”-3/16 inch nap non-shedding roller. Care should be taken to overlap and cross lap, but not over roll the coating introducing air into the surface. Applying the material too thin (less than 6 mils) may result in poor leveling, may exhibit a slight orange peel finish and not sufficiently hide small dust, dirt and roller lint commonly encountered and exacerbated on high gloss floors. The best practice is to measure and grid the floor to be sure of the proper application rate.

Textured Application Apply PIP 2000 UR containing GlossGrip #10 to the floor surface utilizing a roller pan and roller. Do not squeegee as it will be very difficult to remove the squeegee lines. It is best to place a screen at the bottom of the pan to prevent the roller from picking up settled aggregate at the bottom of the pan. Roll often so as to expose aggregate uniformly. Material applied excessively heavy (greater than 3.5 mils) will exhibit irregular texture, may blister or gas and can be soft during curing. Applying the material too thin will result in a non-uniform gloss. The best practice is to measure and grid the floor to be sure of the proper application rate.

Curing (Drying): The cure time of PIP 2000 UR is greatly dependent on both temperature and relative humidity. At 70-75 degrees F and 35% RH, PIP 2000 UR should be tack free and light foot traffic or recoat ready after 6-8 hours of cure. Allow the coating to cure (dry) for a minimum 24 hours before vehicular traffic. Final physical and chemical resistance properties are achieved at 7-10 days. Allow for longer cure times at lower temperatures and low humidity.

PIP 2000-2100-Series Spike can be added to decrease the curing time of PIP 2000 UR. Below are approximate guidelines to use for additions of PIP 2000-2100-Series Spike. Jobsite conditions other than which are listed may also affect curing profile. Use only as a general guideline.

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.

Limitations

Contamination and surface defects: If contaminates including oil, silicone, mold release agents and/or other materials are present, PIP 2000 UR 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; please contact Technical Service for additional recommendations.

Do not apply PIP 2000 direct to PIP 1300 MVR. Always apply another pip epoxy product such as PIP 1000 series coatings on top of the PIP 1300 MVR before applying the PIP 2000 urethane.

UV Protection: If applied as a clear coating (without the color pack), PIP 2000 UR will not protect underlying epoxy coatings from UV radiation and subsequent yellowing of the epoxy. Please use PIP 2100 UR-Gloss or PIP 2100 UR-Satin for clear applications requiring UV protection.
