- Features
- SureCrete provides the applicator with three Part “B” hardener formulations to create the ideal epoxy floor coating for each project.
- Regardless of choice of Part “B”, the Part “A” of the DK 500 does not change.
- Economy Part “B” is an aliphatic amine hardener that delivers a cost effective clear coat.
- Aliphatic amines are susceptible to blushing and yellowing over time.
- SureCrete highly recommends the use of a polyurethane or polyaspartic top coat to extend the duration of time before the blushing and yellowing occur.
- Premium Part “B” is a cycloaliphatic amine hardener that delivers a premium epoxy coating.
- Cycloaliphatic amines are preferred do to their increased resistance to: impact, chemicals, water/moisture, and high temperatures.
- In addition, the cycloaliphatic amine hardener aids in lowering blushing, water spotting, and yellowing.
- SureCrete’s Premium Part “B” is generally used in thick build and metallic flooring systems.
- Premium Thin-Viscosity Part “B” is a thin-viscosity cycloaliphatic amine hardener that delivers the same high-performance features found in the Premium Part “B” hardener.
- The main difference being, when you add pigment’s or powders to the mix; such as “SureCrete’s Dura-Kote Metallic system, then manipulate and move the powders around, using the Thin Viscosity Part “B” you will achieve a more workable/flow able, 100% solids epoxy mix.

- Uses
It is ideally suited for any commercial or residential setting: manufacturing facilities, warehouses, bars, clubs, retail stores, automotive showrooms, garage floors, gyms, locker rooms, stadiums, or anywhere that an exceedingly resilient floor is desired.
- Coverage
- Varies widely per system selected
- Clear Coat: 100 -150 ft² per gal.: 10.7-16 mils
- Thick Build: 40 - 70 ft² per gal.: 23-40 mils
- Metallic: 65 - 90 ft² per gal.: 25-11 mils
- Suitability Sample
- Due to condition specific sites, always prepare an adequate number of test areas.
- Wear protection system and esthetic suitability for products’ intended use should be included.
- On-site sample approval is especially critical on substantial, heavy traffic situation or custom coloration.
- Clean-Up
Before Dura-Kote 500 - 100% Solids Epoxy dries; spills and tools can be cleaned up with a solvent such as xylene or acetone.
- Limitations
- For use by trained professionals that have read the complete SDS.
- The product is strictly for interior use, upon a well-drained concrete slab with an appropriate vapor barrier, subject to no hydrostatic pressure.
- When masking use caution while taping to a floor that is not completely cured, especially at the edges, as delamination may occur.
- Protect from metal wheel traffic and some furniture where point of contact may be damaging.
- Chemicals used in tire manufacturing may be detrimental to all sealers from vehicular parking

Regulatory & Compliance
- Certifications & Compliance
- Slip Resistance
- Two recognized US agencies have issued directives on minimum coefficient of friction, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and Department of Justice through the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).
- ADA is the more stringent of the two. ADA directs that accessible walkways have a minimum coefficient of friction of 0.6. Ramps have been directed to be 0.8.
- The applicator assumes the responsibility to meet these standards. Areas that may become wet, oily, or greasy require special attention.
Safety & Health
- Caution
- Keep out of reach of children.
Inhalation:
- Avoid prolonged breathing of airborne dust, particularly present during mixing.
- Use NIOSH approved respirator for nuisance if threshold limit values are unsafe.
Skin Contact:
- Skin contact may cause irritation.
- Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected skin with soap and water.
- Launder clothing before reuse.
- If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Eyes:
- Wear safety eye protection when applying.
- Contact with eyes may cause irritation.
- Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.
- If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
