- Applications
- Application Method
- RECOMMENDED USES
- Self-leveling base coat.
- Spot repair of pre-existing coatings.
- Deck repairs.
- Crack repairs.
- Hard to reach places not accessible to spray equipment.
- Control joint filler.
- Warehouse floor repairs.
- MIXING & THINNING
- Mix at 1:1 ratio for two minutes.
- Due to very short pot life, all materials must be used immediately after mixing.
- Follow the instructions attached to “A” and “B” containers.
- GENERAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Apply EPL™ 9 to only clean, dry, sound surfaces free of loose particles or other foreign matter.
- A primer may be required; subject to type and condition of the substrate.
- Read and observe all precautions, instructions, and limitations that are included with all containers of EPL™ 9.
- EPL™ 9 is a “slow-set” (minutes) polyurea and may behave differently in the presence of moisture than “fast-set” (seconds) polyurea.
- Undried air exposed to liquid components will reduce physical properties of the cured coating.

Elevated temperatures will accelerate the curing process and shorten the re-coat window.
** Test performed in a dry, static environment.
*** Complete polymerization to achieve final strength can take up to several days or weeks, depending on a variety of conditions or product type. All samples for above tests were force cured 48 hours or aged for more than three weeks. It is recommended that the user perform their own independent testing.
The samples for tests were sprayed with Graco HXP3 @ 2500 psi dynamic (17 mpa). Primaries/Hose Heat 170°F (77°C,) MP Fusion gun with 29/29 mixing chamber with .040 ceramtip. Test results from SPI.- LIMITATIONS
- EPL™ 9 is for professional use only.
- EPL™ 9 must be stored at temperatures between 60° - 90°F (15° - 32°C).
- Apply EPL™ 9 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.
- Liquid temperature in containers/drums during application 70° F (21 °C) – 100°F (38°C).
- 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.
Note: The material supplied is a two component system (Component “A”/Component “B”) which is used to formulate this product. The quality and characteristics of the finished polymer is determined by the mixture and application of the two components.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- COLORS
EPL™ 9 is available in SPI standard Black.
Note: In continuous full-light exposure, white or very light colors will yellow overa period of time. EPL™ 9 is available in a high-pigment, UVinhibited formulation for stand-alone applications, such as roof sand containment liners. Aliphatic urethane and other suitable top coats can be used where long-term color stability andincreased longevity in full sun exposure are of critical importance.
- PACKAGING
This product sold in standard 110 gallon drum and 550 gallon tote sets. Available in other container sizes, Non-standard containers may require a longer lead time.
