Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Typical Uses
DuraGrade Concrete Ultra Low VOC provides superior protection for both indoor and outdoor concrete surfaces. Typical applications include: garage floors, patios, basement, parking structures and more. Can be used with decorative flakes. Most garage projects can be completed with two coats in just one day. Anti-skid can be added for a slip resistant surface.
- Cure Times
Varies with relative humidity, temperature and thickness of film.
- Dry-to-Recoat: 2 to 6 hours
- Dry-to-Handle: 2 to 6 hours
- Full Cure: 72 hours
- Compatibility
With most other coatings; Always refer to the coating .manufacturers guidelines for application and compatibility
- Surface Preparation
The concrete substrate must be structurally sound and thoroughly clean and completely dry. Remove loose paint, moisture, dirt, mildew, oils, wax, loose particles, and other debris before coating. New concrete must be cured for at least 30-90 days depending on climate. Surfaces with tight existing paint or sealants or very smooth or power troweled should be sanded or ground. All repairs should be completed and allowed to fully cure prior to application. Be sure all repair materials are paintable. Adhesion and calcium chloride moisture tests should be performed and outstanding issues fixed prior to application.
