- Benefits
- Easy to use 1:1 formula that has a flowing characteristic that allows for dramatic final appearance when using Trans4loor metallic pigments.
- Can be top coated with one of several Fenix Brand Products for additional wear resistance and enhanced appearance.
- Forms a tough, high-strength coating that is resistant to abrasion from heavy traffic and is unaffected by rubber burns.
- Resistant to damage caused by exposure to alkalis, solvents, acids, salt solutions and water, fats, oils and fuels.
- Formulated with resins that work as an adhesive within the slab, strengthening it around minor cracks, crevices and weak spots.
- Virtually odor-free during installation and curing, making it ideal for interior applications.
- Low maintenance, high-gloss finish is smooth, durable and easy to clean.
- Easy, user-friendly roller application.

- Coverage
- Varies upon substrate; approx. 200-300 base coat kit (100-150 sq ft/gallon)
- Varies upon substrate; approx. 80-100 metallic coat kit (40-50 sq ft/gallon)
- Cure Rates
Cure Rates @ 77°F:
- Dry to touch - 6 to 8 hours
- Light Traffic = 16 hours
- Heavy Traffic = 24 hours
- Full Cure = 5 to 7 days
Cure Rates @ 50°F:
- Dry to touch - 18+ hours
- Light Traffic = 30 hours
- Heavy Traffic = 3 days
- Full Cure = 14 days
- 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 it dries; spills and tools can be cleaned up with a solvent such as xylene or acetone.
- Limitations
- Product performs best upon a concrete slab that has no ponding of standing water.
- When masking use caution while taping to a floor that is not completely cured, especially at 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
- 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.
