Unlike most spray-applied polyureas, X3 has the unique advantage of adhering to many polymeric substrates, both new and aged, typically without the use of primers or extensive surface preparation.
In house testing has shown excellent adhesion to certain clean, dry surfaces including:
- Primers past recoat window
- Concrete
- Crumb Rubber surfaces
- Latex rubber
- Certain roofing membranes
- SBR rubber
- Shotcrete substrates
- Aged polyurea
- Glass Epoxy
- Wood Most metals
Note: Polymer formulations vary. It is recommended that adhesion tests be performed before commencing any project using X3.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Application Method
- RECOMMENDED USES
- Spray applied basecoat to minimize surface preparation labor
- To fill and protect a variety of porous surfaces.
- Waterproofing exterior basements and foundations.
- Protective elastomer for sprayed-in-place urethane foam.
- Roof Systems (metal, concrete, wood, etc.).
- Repair existing containment liners.
- To fill or repair control joints, random cracks, and shallow spalls on concrete surfaces.
- Earthen containment lining used with or without geotextile fabric.
- Wastewater containment as a re-surfacer.
- GENERAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply X3 only to clean, dry, sound surfaces free ofloose particles or other foreign matter. A primer may be required, subject to type and/or condition of the substrate. X3 can be sprayed over a broad range of ambient andsubstrate temperatures. Contact technical service personnelfor specific recommendations, pricing, and availability ofspray and auxiliary equipment.
To reduce the possibility of blisters and blow holes when applying X3 to cementitious or other porous surfaces:
- Do not apply on damp or wet substrates.
- Start spray application after peak heat of the day when surface is cooling.
- Do not apply on areas in direct sunlight.
- The temperature of the X3 material and hose temperature should be approximately the same temperature as the substrate being sprayed. Adhere toinstructions on container label.
It is recommended that X3 be sprayed in multi-directional(north-south/east-west) passes to ensure uniform thickness.To achieve optimum mix and rise, nucleation at the gunneeds to be a minimum of 9 cfm at 90 psi.
Follow the instructions attached to “A” and “B” containers. Adhesion tests are always recommended prior to application.

- SURFACE PREPARATION
It is recommended that oxidized polymeric surfaces be power washed with 2500 - 3500 psi water pressure to achieve maximum adhesion of X3™. If there is a possibility of surface contamination, scrub with a solution of 1/4 tsp. Dawn detergent plus 1 tbsp. of vinegar per 1 gallon of warm water, followed by a thorough water rinse.
SPI Prep Wipe™ applied prior to application of X3 generally increases adhesion to certain finishes.

The polyol “B” component must be thoroughly powermixed each day, prior to use. Use a SPI folding blade mixeror equivalent equipment approved by SPI. Install mixer through the extra 2” bung hole provided on all “B” drums. Care must be taken not to cross contaminate the individual components with the mixing equipment. Using any thinner may adversely affect product performance.
- LIMITATIONS
- AQUASEAL™ HI RISE X3 is for professional use only. User must be proficient in the application of AQUASEAL™ X3 and the use of the high pressure heated plural component equipment used to apply it.
- AQUASEAL™ HI RISE X3 must be stored at temperatures between 60—90°F (15—32°C).
- Liquid temperature in containers during application of product should be 75°F (24°C) minimum, 85°F (29°C) optimum, and 95°F (35°C) maximum.
- Apply AQUASEAL™ X3 when surface and air temperatures are above 40°F (5°C) and the surface temperature is at least 5°F (3°C) above dew point and rising.
- Avoid moisture contamination in containers. Containers should not be resealed if contamination is suspected.CO2 created pressure can develop. Do not attempt to use contaminated material.
- Product and hose temperature during application should be 85°F (29°C).
- Undried air exposed to liquid components will reduce physical properties of the cured coating.
- The material supplied is a two component system(component “A”/component “B”, which is used to formulatethis product. The quality and characteristics of the finished polymer is determined by the mixture and application of the two components by the person applying the polymers.

- COLORS
X3 is available in Neutral, Medium Gray, and Sand. X3 isphotosensitive and will change color in a matter of minutes fromspray application. Note: X3 is an aromatic polyurea; therefore,as with all aromatics color change and superficial oxidation willoccur. Aliphatic urethane and other suitable topcoats can beused where long-term color stability and increased longevity infull sun exposure are of critical importance.
