- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Product Highlights
- TRUE-BOND protects masonry, metal and dry wall against harmful attacks by acids, alkalies, oils, solvents and other deleterious materials. This product applied by brush, roller or spray, upon curing, forms a tough, impervious, chemically resistant surface over any sound substrate.
- TRUE-BOND is adaptable to be applied incorporating fiberglass cloth, chopped fiberglass rovings and non-slip aggregate to interior, exterior and immersion exposures, producing a floor and wall surface that is highly resistive to wear, abrasion and chemicals.
- Advantages
Chemical Resistance
Will resist all food and liquid spillage, chemicals, most acids, oils grease and most solvents. It is waterproof.
Strength and Permanence
The impact strength and abrasion resistance are five times greater than concrete.
Beauty
Will give a new rich appearance to old surfaces as well as an attractive finish on new installations.
BondingWill adhere to any sound substrate.
EconomicalWill outlast all conventional products. No maintenance will be required over years of service.

- Applications
- Directions
Clean surface of loose aggre- gates, dirt, grease and oil, and dust. For best results, etch sur face with 10 to 15% muriatic acid, flush with clean water, and allow to dry. Pour all of container 'B' into container 'A" and mix thoroughly. Add 3 to 5 parts of dry sand and mix in thoroughly. Brush or trowel on as thick as needed to repair area. Pot life approximately 20 minutes, Because of its high early strength, TRUE-BOND may be opened to traffic in six hours.
Small Quantity Mixing
- 2 cups of Part 'A
- 1 cup of Part 'B'
- Stir thoroughly for 1 minute
- Add 9 cups of dry sand (you may use more or less sand to customize the mix for your application!)
- Mix thoroughly again

Similar places where a sanitary, corrosion resistant surface is required
- Surface Preparation
- All surfaces must be clean, free of dirt, oil, grease, traces of asphalt, efflorescence and frost free. Paint, loose concrete, mortar drippings, foreign matter and all other surface contaminations shall be removed by wire brushing, grinding or sandblasting. Do not apply on surfaces which have been sealed with a permanent type of form oil, release agent or curing compound. Remove these before application. Surface temperature must be above 60 degrees Fahrenheit and rising.
- Scarifying may be accomplished by chipping hammers, scarifiers, steam cleaning, or sandblasting. Oil, grease, dirt, etc. may be removed with a solution of tri-sodium phosphate (TSP), Oakite 24 or any non-filming detergent. Thoroughly flush and rinse.
- Acid Etching - On new concrete surfaces remove "laitence" and unbonded cement particles by acid etching. Dampen surface with tap water. Dilute muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) to a 10% solution (always adding the acid to the water). Scrub onto the surface at the rate of 50 sq. ft per gallon. Allow to sit for 20 minutes or when acid "bubbling" stops. Scrub and flush thoroughly with clean water. Repeat flushing adding 2% household ammonia to water for neutralization. Remove water by squeegee, broom or vacuum cleaner. Allow to dry.
Note - If the use of muriatic acid is prohibited, check with manufacturer for substitute etching solution.
- Wood : Wood surfaces receiving TRUE-BOND must be clean, free of paint or resin. Wood surface should be sanded to remove contamination.
- Metal : Metal surfaces to which TRUE-BOND is to be applied should be rigid and free of oil, grease, rust, paint, dirt and scale. To remove scale and rust, sandblast or power wire brush. To degrease, use methylene chloride. Once area is prepared, apply TRUE-BOND immediately on dry surface.
- Mixing and Application
- Mix and proceed only when area is prepared properly and ready for application. Work time for mixed TRUE-BOND is approximately 30 minutes. Slowly add all the contents of PART B into PART A. Mix thoroughly with a paint paddle or slow speed mechanical mixer. To reduce exothermic reaction, pour mixed components in a flat pan. TRUE-BOND may now be applied by brush, roller or spray. Material should be applied quickly and not reworked after it has begun to set.
- Apply uniformly with long even strokes of the roller or brush in two applications. If a non-slip finish is desired, broadcast aluminum oxide, carborundum or fine dry sand on first application within 1/2 hour after application. When material is dry sweep off excess non-slip aggregate and apply the finish coat.
- Coverage : Approximately 300 square feet per kit, depending on porosity of surface and thickness of application.
